The respondent is asked to rate their preference for each item on a scale of 0 to 5, with the scores for each pair adding up to 5. After completing the inventory, the respondent transfers their scores to a scoring sheet where they are totaled for each of eight dimensions: E, I, S, N, T, F, P, and J. This provides an assessment of the respondent's overall personality type.
