Keirsey Temperament Test
The first of these tests is the Keirsey Temperament test. you take the test at AdvisorTeam.com. It's free to take, but you do need to sign up for a free account. After you've finished with the test, it will tell you whether you are a Guardian, Artisan, Idealist, or a Rational. It will also tell you that can be one of four groups in that area. Each of those 4 sub-groups are represented by 4 letters.
| E = Extrovert | I = Introvert |
| S = Scientific | N = Intuition |
| T = Thinking | F = Feeling |
| J = Judging | P = Perceiving |
These letters will provide you with a closer look at your personality type. You would usually have to pay to find out which one you are exactly, but here I'll provide you with the rubric so that you can see for yourself (for free).

Ritberger Color Test
This second test is a lot simpler than the first one, but it too is helpful. It consists of only 4 questions, you can answer all four however you like, even if they're contradicting. Depending on your answers, you will be given a color; Red, Orange, Yellow, or Green. Whatever color has the most points is yours. The descriptions are very long, so I won't post them here. You can take the test at Ritberger.com.
Conflict Style Test
The last test isn't nearly as eye-opening as the first two, but it show you how you respond when working in a team towards a common goal. It's good to know how everyone in the team acts so that you can understand where everyone's point of view is coming from. Everyone has a little bit of all conflict styles, but this will show which is more prevalent in you. The results are, Accommodating, Avoiding, Forcing, Collaborating, and Compromising. Take the test here.
