Dimensional
The social, personality testing platform
Dimensional uses personality science to help users better understand themselves and their friends. The app captures users' unique personality through of suite of assessments (100+ traits) and gives them personalized insights into themselves and relationships.
I'm a sucker for these things.
I think people should be cautious adopting prescribed personality titles, but well-researched tests can give people languages and a better understanding of themselves.
@rrhoover completely agree re: labels. There's a paradox of human psychology where we simultaneously want to feel a sense of belonging and a sense of uniqueness. The reality is we are all incredibly unique and can't be reduced to a set of letters or colors, but at the same time there are patterns of behavior and personality that seem to persist across cultures and time.
We try to address this by incorporating both a top-down and bottom-up model of personality. Dimensional measures people across nearly 200 traits (and 10 dimensions of personality). It's kind of like 23 and Me for personality. But we also give people top-down archetypes of their personality across contexts like work, love, and core identity. The idea is that these archetypes are a foot-in-the-door and give users a sense of belonging and understanding for some of their patterns of behavior and cognition, but they can dig deeper into their traits as well.

I can't possibly emphasize enough how important it is to understand yourself better. Dimensional is a fascinating new mobile app that helps you do just that. Check it out!
@sfard thanks - as a potential user, that's really helpful, important information. Kudos for considering ways to surface its presentation on website and app store.
There was a surprising amount to do in the app. Before I knew it I was completing module after module to get that next insight. Probably the best part is the unique lens it puts on your friends and connections. Reading over their insights and reflecting on your past experiences with them is very gratifying.
Have been using Dimensional for a few months now and am really enjoying it. One of my favourite things is the ability to add friends and see an analysis built specifically for those relationships!
