The MBTI 16 personalities test is one of the most popular personality quizzes in the world. It helps people understand how they think, make decisions, and interact with others. Coaches, bloggers, and educators often use it to engage their audience, capture leads, and add value to their websites.

The good news is, you don’t need coding skills to create your own MBTI test. With Formester’s no-code quiz builder, you can set up a complete 16 personalities test in minutes using AI, scoring, and logic branching.

In this guide, I’ll show you step by step how to build and publish the MBTI test directly on your site.

What is the MBTI Test?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) groups people into 16 personality types. It uses four key dichotomies to determine personality traits:

  • Extraversion (E) vs Introversion (I)

  • Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N)

  • Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F)

  • Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P)

Each test taker ends up with a four-letter code such as ISTJ or ENFP. These results provide insights into strengths, weaknesses, and communication styles.

That’s why MBTI quizzes are widely used by coaches, HR teams, and online creators to engage audiences.

Step 1: Generate the Quiz with AI

Start by logging into your Formester dashboard.

Click Create New Form.

Choose Start with AI.

Select Score Quiz as the form type.

Enter the following prompt to the AI quiz maker:

“Create an MBTI 16 personalities quiz with 4 pages, one for each dichotomy (E/I, S/N, T/F, J/P). Each page should include 5 single-choice questions with two options. Each option must clearly map to one side of the dichotomy. At the end, create 16 thank you pages, one for each personality type, with a short description of that type.”

The AI will generate the full quiz structure for you, including questions and thank-you pages.

Step 2: Add Variables for Scoring

Now, set up scoring so the quiz can assign results correctly.

  • Go to the Advanced Tab > Variables.

  • Create two numeric variables for each dichotomy. For example, one for E and one for I.

  • Create one text variable to store the final outcome for each pair. Example: “EI = E or I.”

This setup ensures the quiz knows whether the user leans more toward extroversion or introversion, and so on for all four dichotomies.

Step 3: Assign Scores to Options

  • Open Score Quiz and turn on Allow Multiple Variables.

  • For each question, assign one point to the relevant variable.

Example: If the user chooses option A, add one point to E.

  • If they choose option B, add one point to I.

  • Repeat this process for all four dichotomies.

By the end, the system can calculate which side of each scale the user aligns with.

Step 4: Connect to Personality Outcomes

This step ties all the results together.

  • Go to Rules in the Advanced tab.

  • Create conditions based on the variables. For example:

If E ≥ 3, set EI = E.

If I ≥ 3, set EI = I.

  • Combine all four dichotomy results to map to one of 16 personality types.

Example: If EI = E, SN = S, TF = T, JP = P → outcome = ESTP.

  • Link each condition to the thank-you page for that personality type.

Do this for all 16 combinations. Once complete, every respondent will be redirected to their unique personality result page.

Step 5: Customize and Publish

  • Add an email or phone field before the thank-you page to capture leads.

  • Go to the Embed Tab, copy the code, and paste it into your website.

  • Use the Design Tab to match the test to your brand. You can also switch to a card-style layout with One Field Per Page for a modern look.

Now your MBTI test is live and ready to engage your visitors.
