Getting Started How to use TraitLab as a coaching tool

Start your next engagement with amazing clarity and a shared language around your client's personality, strengths, and interests.

TraitLab makes it easy for your client to create a detailed, comprehensive description of themselves — their personality traits, strengths, interaction style, and career interests.

This gives your clients powerful insights into themselves, and it gives you a clearer picture of their unique challenges.

After your client completes the full assessment, they'll have an incredibly detailed profile, including

  • Personality traits
  • Personality type
  • 100+ words describing their personality
  • Strengths
  • Career Interests
  • Career Matches

This profile can be shared with anyone, making it easy for both of you to review the results together and start your engagement on the same page.

Frequently asked questions

How is TraitLab different from other personality assessments?

Most online assessments are not based on real published research, so you can't connect your results to useful information about habits, career choices, relationships, and other practical aspects of your life.

TraitLab uses assessments and concepts from actual scientific research, then makes it easy to see how your results relate to important life areas.

Who made TraitLab?

TraitLab was created by me, Greg Park, Ph.D. Hi!

Before starting TraitLab, I spent years publishing research findings as a Ph.D. and postdoctoral researcher in the areas of personality and psychological measurement. I've always been fascinated by the field of personality psychology and how it can help us understand ourselves and each other.

I made TraitLab to make it easier for you to find reliable, valid, and scientifically-supported personality assessments.

Is TraitLab right for me?

Are you comfortable with investing about an hour to understand yourself better? Do you care about scientific validity? Do you like to get into details and data?

If you answered yes to these questions, then you'll probably love TraitLab. I made it for people like me — people looking for a very detailed, comprehensive picture of their personality, strengths, and interests, backed by scientific research.

But if you are looking for a quick and fun personality quiz, TraitLab is probably not the best fit for you.

How long is the TraitLab test?

Most people will start seeing their first results after about 10 minutes (about 100 questions).

If you want to see every possible result from TraitLab, the full assessment can take anywhere from 30-90 minutes. However, you can always save your progress and take the assessment across several sittings.

How many questions are there in TraitLab?

There are over 700 potential questions currently in TraitLab, but you'll begin seeing results after the first 100 questions.

New questions are added regularly, but most questions are optional and only needed for advanced analyses.

Can I retake the assessment?

Yes! With TraitLab Plus, you can reset your profile and results anytime from your account settings.

How much does TraitLab cost?

There are several free tools here at TraitLab that can help you learn quite a bit about your personality.

For more advanced analyses of your traits, strengths, and interests, you can purchase TraitLab Plus. TraitLab Plus costs $49 for a single individual, and there are discounts on purchases of three or more assessments. TraitLab also offers discounts for non-profit organizations.

How can I purchase TraitLab Plus for someone else?

With your free account, you can purchase invite codes for clients, teammates, and anyone else you think might benefit from TraitLab.

Visit the Invites section, where you can send invite codes to others, see when they've been redeemed, and collaborate on assessment results.

Can I share my results with someone else?

Absolutely! If you want to share and compare your results with anyone, you can simply share your public profile.

For example, here's my own public profile here at TraitLab.
