On-line & Off-line Survey Instruments:
Motivation, Cognitive Styles, Learning Styles,
and Learning Strategies
This collection is intended as a brief guide to the world of motivation, cognitive-style, learning-style, and learning-strategy questionnaires.
The first section of this bibliography is a list of websites which offers survey instruments related to motivation, learning preferences, and learning strategies. These consist of two kinds of sites:
interactive sites allow users to take the tests on-line and provide some information about the tests, however, they usually do not provide scoring algorithms.
source sites permit visitors to download and print ready-to-use tests. These sites vary as to the amount of information provided.
In the second section, a collection of instruments not available on the web is provided.
This bibliography is meant to provide teachers and researchers with a way to familiarize themselves with some of the instruments available. Users are warmly encouraged to seek more complete information about instruments before using them for research purposes and to observe copyrights in all instances.

The Keirsey Character Sorter
http://www.keirsey.com/cgi-bin/keirsey/kcs.cgi
The Keirsey Character Sorter classifies and describes people on the basis of types/temperament types. An individual’s temperament is seen as an innate predisposition which leads to the development of character. Individuals are classified as Rationals, Idealists, Artisans, or Guardians. Within these categories, distinctions are made using the following dimensions: extroversion-introversion, intuition-sensing, thinking-feeling, judgement-perception. The Keirsey test attempts to identify individuals’ 'skilled action roles' and produces the following system of classification:
Rational: Fieldmarshals, Masterminds, Inventors, Architects
Idealists: Teachers, Counselors, Champions, Healers
Artisans: Promoters, Crafters, Performers, Composers
Guardians: Supervisors, Inspectors, Providers, Protectors
Like the Myers-Briggs, the Keirsey test is based on Jung's theory of psychological types.
