This is a slightly improved version Keirseyan Temperament Sorter II, the best version of the MyersBriggs test. The improvement is in the form of four extra questions taken from the Keirseyant Temperament Sorter I, this test's predecessor. The extra questions broke potential "ties" in Preference scores, like 50% Thinking and 50% Feeling, allowed by the Sorter II. Nobody is absolutely straight down the middle in any Preference in life, and ties just convolute the outcome. Hence, the tie-breaker questions. The four extra questions added cannot skew the results to any appreciable amount.
