Frequently Asked Questions

TPI (Trader Personality Inventory) is a trader personality assessment system based on behavioral finance and personality psychology. Through 100 professional questions, it analyzes your performance across four dimensions: decision mode, time preference, risk preference, and emotional control, categorizing you into one of 16 trader personalities.

The Pro version contains 100 questions and takes about 15-20 minutes. The Standard version takes about 10 minutes, and the Lite version only 5 minutes. We recommend finding a quiet environment and answering thoughtfully for the most accurate results.

The TPI test is based on validated psychological theories including behavioral finance (Kahneman & Tversky) and the Big Five personality model (Costa & McCrae). Test-retest consistency reaches 89%, with user satisfaction at 4.8/5. However, results are for reference only and do not constitute investment advice.

The 16 personalities are based on 4 core dimensions: S/I (Systematic/Intuitive decision-making), T/L (Short-term/Long-term time preference), A/C (Aggressive/Conservative risk preference), R/E (Rational/Emotional control). Each dimension has 2 tendencies, combining to create 2×2×2×2=16 unique personality types.

After understanding your trader personality, you can: 1) Choose trading strategies and timeframes that suit you; 2) Identify and avoid common blind spots for your type; 3) Establish targeted risk management rules; 4) Find complementary trading partners or mentors.
