SBTI result guide

How to read your SBTI result

Understand your SBTI-style result, including type code, similarity, dimension breakdown, and close types.

Type code

The type code is the easiest part to remember. It is a shareable label for the main style shown by your answers, not a fixed identity.

Type description

Read the description as a prompt. Notice which lines feel accurate and which do not. You do not need every sentence to fit.

Similarity

Similarity shows how close your answer pattern is to the matched type template. It is not a clinical accuracy score and does not mean you can only be this type.

15-dimension breakdown

The dimension breakdown shows the signals behind your result across areas like social style, emotion, action, and expression.

Close types

Close types are other templates near your answer pattern. If your main result only partly fits, these may help you understand the nuance.
