Introduction:

This template provides you with the basis for building your own simple personality test based on the Open Extended Jungian Type Scales 1.2 framework developed by Eric Jorgenson.

Important: This template is not supposed to be a working personality test.

You can make it work by following the steps outlined below, from our article on Jungian/Myers-Briggs cognitive functions.

If you want to try it out, the same article has a functional test you can take yourself.

It’s trivial to set up a Zap to do that for you. Here’s how to get it working

The Process Street side of things is pretty straightforward. It’s just 32 questions with answers weighted from 1 to 5, based on Eric Jorgensen’s Open Extended Jungian Types Scales 1.2 framework. The questions and results for the whole test are based on this framework.

Then things move over to Zapier, a third-party automation tool which allows you to connects thousands of different apps together. Each individual automation is called a zap and we’re going to show you how we built ours.

Inside Zapier, things get a little more interesting. We’re still using the Open Extended Jungian Types Scales (OEJTS) framework, just crunching a few numbers and using a few IF statements to get the final results.

My zap is made up of 10 steps:

Those 10 steps are basically doing four distinct things:

  1. Triggering the zap in Process Street, whenever the task completing the final question is checked;
  2. Summing all of the answer values relevant for each of the four Jungian type categories, based on the OEJTS framework;
  3. Doing a simple IF, ELSE statement for each of the four Jungian type categories (also based on the OEJTS framework) which gives us the result of the test;
  4. Returning the results of the test to the original Process Street checklist.

Step one is easy, just selecting the task that I want to trigger the results to start calculating. Logically, it’s the final task in the checklist:

Step two is also straightforward, as it’s simply looking at the OEJTS formula, and summing the values for each of the questions relevant for each of the four main types. If you’re interested in the formula, check it out again here.

To sum the values for each of the Process Street tasks, I’m using Formatter by Zapier, with the type of event set to “Numbers”.

Then, in the same step I’m using a Spreadsheet-Style Formula transformation to grab all of the relevant values and add them up:

Here’s a better look at what my formula looks like for summing up all the values:

Again, what you’re seeing here is just the result of the specific formula I was using to process the Jungian type index for the personality test result. It’s not that complicated, really.

What I get out of this summing up is a single number value for each of the four type pairs.

Step three simply looks at this number value, and runs an IF statement on it, to see if it’s greater than 24. It does this four times, for each of the type pairs.

For example, in the first pair, which is either Extraverted or Introverted, if the number is greater than 24, the result is Extraverted. If it’s not, the result is Introverted.

The same is true for the three remaining pairs.

Here’s what the zap looks like:

It’s also using Formatter by Zapier, with the event type of “Numbers”, along with Spreadsheet-Style Formatting.

As you can see, the IF logic is very simple. The value there is the result of the test from Step 2, and it’s just saying the obvious, with familiar spreadsheet-style formatting. Exactly the same as how you’d write it in Google Sheets, or Excel.

Finally, step four is as simple as specifying the location where to send the test results, which in our case is the Process Street checklist. Zapier already knows the location from step 1, so the action type is “Update Checklist”.

Pop the checklist ID in there (from step 1, the original Process Street trigger) and specify the forms you want to update with the results, and there you have it.

The result, in 32 questions, will be a four letter type reference (INFP, ESTJ, etc.) that you can compare against established definitions of types for popular Jungian and MBTI personality tests.
