48. It is the Myers Briggs (MBTI), a personality inventory of normal traits.

It is not a clinical test, nor is it top tier.

It is an informal, fun test and people like it quite a lot.
It does have some use in a employment and counseling settings.

It measures a number of variables and the results give people a four letter type code.
And there is a lot of information on each type code.

The four dimensions are:
introversion/extraversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving.

If you go online there are a number of sites which offer free versions of the test.

ETA Some people are saying there are no longer free versions, but if you are interested, see if you
can find a short free version of the test.
