What is the difference between Truity and TraitLab?

Both Truity and TraitLab offer personality assessments for individuals and organizations, but they take different approaches to helping you understand personality.

Truity offers a collection of popular personality tests including TypeFinder (16 Personality Types), the Enneagram, DISC, Big Five, and career assessments. Each test is purchased and taken separately.

TraitLab integrates multiple personality models and published scientific research into a unified platform that helps you understand your personality traits, career interests, interpersonal style, and unique strengths—all in one comprehensive assessment.
