Shmishek Test

This test is designed to identify the type of personality accentuation. G. Shmishek created it in 1970 to modify the "Methodology for studying personality accentuations" by K. Leonhard.

In simple terms, the accentuation type is the "core" of a person, his most significant character traits and psychological characteristics. Each type of accentuation affects a person's behavior and preferences in its own way. Knowing your type will help you better cope with life's challenges, correctly distributing energy and using your strengths.

Leonhard identified ten types of accentuated personalities, dividing them into two groups: character accentuations (demonstrative, pedantic, stuck, excitable) and temperament accentuations (hyperthymic, dysthymic, anxious, cyclothymic, affective, emotive).

The test is designed to identify accentuated character traits and temperament of teenagers and adults. Shmishek test is suitable for taking into account character accentuations in the process of training, professional selection, psychological counseling and career guidance.
