Discover How You Exist, Not Just Who You Are

This isn’t just another personality test — this is an exploration of your existential personality. The Existential Personality Test (EPT) is a groundbreaking system based on existential psychology, designed to uncover how you engage with the core realities of life:

🕯️ Mortality
⚖️ Freedom
🕸️ Isolation
🪞 Meaning

While most personality systems describe your traits or behavior, this one delves deeper: into how you live with awareness of death, responsibility, separateness, and the search for purpose

Get Started

What Is the 32EPT?

EPT is a 32-type personality model rooted in the work of existential psychologists like Irvin Yalom, examining the “ultimate concerns” of existence. In this framework:

Each of the four existential domains is scored as either:
A (Anxious Engagement)
– you confront the domain head-on, often with concern or intensity.
C (Avoidant Coping) – you defend or distance yourself from the domain, often to protect your inner balance.

A fifth letter – the overall orientation – reflects your total stance across all domains:
A (Anxious) – you are deeply and broadly engaged with life’s questions.
C (Avoidant) – you lean toward disengaging or defending against them overall.

Your result will be a unique 5-letter existential profile (e.g., AACAA or CAACC), matched to one of 32 poetic and clinically-informed types.

Detail

How the Assessment Works
60 questions (15 per domain)
Each question is rated on a 1–5 Likert scale
Your scores across each domain determine your A/C type
Takes about 12–15 minutes to complete
Results are private and instant
Who Is This For?
People in therapy, coaching, or deep personal reflection
Spiritual seekers, creatives, and thinkers
Those experiencing life transitions, grief, or change
Anyone curious about how they face the deeper questions of existence
What Are the 32 Existential Personality Types?
Each profile reflects a unique combination of how you face (or avoid) life’s ultimate concerns. Some examples:
Why Take This Test?
Most personality tests tell you what kind of person you are.
This one reveals how you relate to existence itself.

Developed by clinicians and scholars of existential therapy, the Existential Personality Assessment is not a gimmick or pop psychology quiz. It’s a nuanced tool designed for people seeking truth, growth, and authenticity.

This is for those ready to ask:

"What does it mean to live well, knowing that life ends?"
"How do I carry the weight of choice and meaning — or avoid it?"
"Am I really living as myself — or just surviving?"

32EPT vs. Other Personality Tests

A side-by-side look at how 32EPT’s existential approach differs from MBTI-based “16 Personalities,” the Big Five, and other common assessments.

Product comparison
16 Personalities
Big Five (OCEAN) & Similar Trait Models
32EPT
Foundational Framework
16 fixed “types” based on four dichotomies (I/E, S/N, T/F, J/P). Focuses on information-gathering and decision-making preferences.
Five broad dimensions—Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism—measured continuously.
Assesses how you confront or avoid four existential domains (Death, Freedom, Isolation, Meaning) via 64 questions. Generates a five-letter code (A or C per domain) indicating “Anxious Engagement” or “Avoidant Coping.”
Depth & Practical Application
Provides descriptive type summaries (e.g., “INTJ: Architect”) but generally does not offer structured exercises for growth or reflection.
Reports numerical scores or percentile ranks on each trait; offers broad insights but rarely prescribes targeted actions.
Produces a 20-page report showing your five-letter existential profile, graphical score comparisons, in-depth interpretations, plus specific journaling prompts, value tasks, and behavioral experiments tailored to your profile.
Focus on Underlying Motivations
Describes behavioral preferences (e.g., “Introverted,” “Feeling”) without explicitly addressing why those behaviors occur.
Describes tendencies (e.g., “High Openness,” “Low Neuroticism”) but does not explore underlying existential drivers.
Targets the “why” by showing whether you anxiously engage with or avoid mortality, choice, isolation, and purpose. For example, instead of “you’re introverted,” it reveals whether you avoid social isolation or confront it, guiding deeper self-understanding.
Clinical & Theoretical Basis
Originates from Jungian typology and later refinements; widely used but not grounded in a unified existential theory.
Based on factor-analytic research in personality psychology; robust empirical backing but lacks a singular theory about human existence.
Built on existential psychology (e.g., Frankl, Yalom, May). Explicitly links scores to exercises grounded in existential theory, offering a coherent rationale for why awareness of these domains supports mental well-being.
Practical Takeaway
Quick overview of personality type; best if you want a simple four-letter label.
Solid framework for describing broad behavioral tendencies; useful for general self-awareness but limited in prescriptive guidance.
Ideal if you want to understand deep motivations around mortality, freedom, connection, and purpose, combined with a concrete, step-by-step growth plan rooted in existential psychology.
Flexibility vs. Fixed Categories
Implies a stable, unchanging type—“once an INFP, always an INFP”—which can feel limiting if you believe personal growth shifts your type.
Though scores can shift slightly over time, traits are presented as relatively stable, with few mechanisms to track deliberate change.
Encourages retakes: because it measures how you currently relate to existential themes, your profile letters can change after reflection exercises or life events, highlighting personal growth rather than locking you into a single “type.”
