Tieger Personality Indicator for Children (TPI-C)™

Welcome! The assessment you are about to take will help you determine which of five innate personality types most accurately describes your child. In a rigorous validation study, 93% of parents reported the assessment identified their child’s personality type as “very” or "quite” accurate.

The assessment results are 100% anonymous! We collect no information that can identify any participant. Most people complete the assessment in less than three minutes.

The report, generated from TPI-C™ (Tieger Personality Indicator for Children™) is provided for educational purposes only. It is NOT meant to diagnose any condition, nor does it explain or predict any future behavior or conditions in children of any personality type. Your report may indicate that children whose personality type is similar to your child’s may be at increased risk for anxiety or depression. But every individual is unique. Therefore, this does not mean that YOUR child is necessarily at increased risk.

Directions

Below are snapshots of five different inborn personality types. Please review all five of these types and answer the question below.

You may recognize some qualities of your child in all five types. Or find that some types fit well, except for one or two qualities.

Please indicate the ONE type – as a whole – which describes your child best…even if only a little better than the other four types. About 80% of the profile should fit your child.

Think about your child over the whole span of their childhood. If your child is in their late teens, it may help you by remembering what they were like when they were younger.

You're welcome to discover the personality type for more than one child, but you must complete a new survey for each child.
