There are a ton of personality tests out there.
Are you chaotic neutral or lawful good?
Are you an “acts of service” or “physical touch” type of partner?
Which Disney princess are you based on your bowel regularity?
But as far as a test that really digs into the key facets of who we are as complex humans with ingrained habits and motivations, the popular 16 Personalities Test is one of the more reliable tools to help us learn a bit more about ourselves.
The free test takes about 5 minutes to complete and will yield tons of information about how you move through the world—even giving a deep dive into your work habits. All you’ll need to find your must-have ClickUp feature is your 4-letter result.
By the way, 16 Personalities Test is not formally involved with this post—we’re just fans who found their approach to be extra insightful. 🤓
Let’s get started!
Introducing… You!
As someone who has sometimes gotten the “ENFP” result and other times the “INFP” result, it’s important to remember that your own “type” is not about fitting you in one box, it’s getting a baseline sense of self-awareness in major aspects of life so you can spot patterns and strengthen your best qualities.
Like this test, ClickUp was built to accommodate and help all types of people with its endless customization and incredible features that can work the way you do. The key below explains what each letter of your result means in a given context:
Within the 16 possible personality types, there are 4 general groups: Analysts, Diplomats, Sentinels, and Explorers. When choosing a ClickUp feature for each personality, we’ve considered each letter’s meaning in the context of work as well as a consideration for the natural strengths and challenges of each type.
Here we go!
Analysts
INTJ: The Architect
You are an imaginative and strategic thinker who has a plan A, B, and C for everything. Your must-have ClickUp feature is Goals!
- WHAT: Goals in ClickUp aren’t just where you map out a plan for big wins, they’re also where you can measure ongoing success for yourself and your team.

You’re an innovative problem solver with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Your must-have ClickUp feature is Mind Maps!
- WHAT: Plan and organize projects, ideas, or existing tasks in ClickUp for the ultimate visual outline.
- WHY: Logicians crave intellectual stimulation, freedom to pursue their ideas, and opportunities to solve challenging puzzles. Mind Maps are a fresh way to visualize current work, goals, and big ideas.
ENTJ: The Commander
You’re an imaginative and strong-willed leader who will pave a way if you can’t find one. Your must-have ClickUp feature is Time Tracking!
- WHAT: Track time, set estimates, add notes, and view reports of your time from anywhere.

ENTP: The Debater
You’re a smart and curious thinker who never turns down an intellectual challenge. Your must-have ClickUp feature is Automations!
- WHAT: ClickUp Automations do the busy work and create consistent processes so that your team can focus on what matters.

Diplomats
INFJ: The Advocate
You are quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring—an idealist who knows what you want. Your must-have ClickUp feature is “Me” mode!
- WHAT: “Me” mode is a filtering option you can apply anywhere in your Workspace to show only the tasks (and/or subtasks—up to you!) that you’re assigned to, minimizing some visual clutter.
- WHY: Advocate types tend to do best when they can ignore workplace politics and hierarchies and simply do what matters most to them. “Me” mode is your chance to focus on what’s on your plate before jumping to help everyone else!

- WHAT: Tell ClickUp if you want reminder notifications, daily summaries of your due tasks, and delayed device notifications if you’re active in the web app.
- WHY: Mediators enjoy having freedom and latitude yet tend to benefit from deadlines and clear expectations to keep them on track; Notifications let them stay organized while maintaining a sense of control and order over how they’d like to tackle work. You can’t help others if you’re not squared away yourself, and that’s the real benefit of Notifications for Mediators.

ISFP: The Adventurer
You’re a flexible and charming artist at heart, always ready to explore and experience something new. Your must-have ClickUp feature is Views!
