Shmishek Questionnaire

In order to study the type of person's personality, Leonhard Shmishek compiled a simple questionnaire consisting of 88 questions. The answer to each question implies either "yes" or "no." This technique allows one to identify one of the ten types of personality accentuation.

The classification of these types is as follows:

• demonstrative type. The personality is distinguished by its desire to dominate always and everywhere;
• pedantic type. People of this type are distinguished by the inertness of mental processes, it is difficult for them to control their emotions and "switch" from one to the other;
• jam type. A person often stays in an inadequate state or a state of affect;
• Excitable type. These people are characterized by excessive impulsiveness, weak control over drives;
• hypertensive type. A characteristic feature is optimism and high activity;
• dysthymic type. Differs bad mood, pessimism, slow thinking and ingenuity;
• anxious-timid. People of this type are most often hostages to various phobias. They differ timidity and timidity;
• cyclotimic. Periodic change of qualities inherent in the hyperthymic type for the quality of dysthymic;
• exalted. A person is in two emotional states - ecstasy or sadness. The change of one another occurs easily and quickly;
• emotive. People of this type are very sensitive and impressionable. They find it difficult to contain their emotions, they live by them.

The test of Shmishek's questionnaire reveals the accentuation of the character of the person. Accentuation of character - this is the limit of the norm, in which some character traits are particularly pronounced. This is a kind of mental health, which is characterized by the disproportionality of certain traits of character, which leads to disharmony of the individual. All the features are divided into two groups: basic and additional. If the first group of characteristics prevails, then they determine the personality as a whole.

Answer questions quickly, without spending time thinking. After processing the results, you can see the "strong" and "weak" sides of your character. This gives you the opportunity to develop what promises you success, and work on what prevents it.
