You're shopping for carrots and your grocer offers you some new purple ones:

Let's try purple. Orange will be fine, thank you.

The "Murderous Villain Test" is the property of IDR Labs International but pays homage to the works of C.G. Jung, C.A. Meier, J.H. van der Hoop, M-L von Franz, W. Pauli, I. Myers, K.C. Briggs, P.T. Costa, and R.R. McCrae.

The NEO PI-R^™ is the property of Psychological Assessment Resources. The IPIP-NEO is compiled by Lewis R. Goldberg, Ph.D. and professor of psychology, but is in the public domain. The CT-NEO-IP© is the property of IDR Labs International.

The 20 murderous villains are: Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Goering, Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer, Karl Doenitz, Rudolf Hess, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Putin, Vladimir Lenin, Mao Zedong, Che Guevara, Ulrike Meinhof, Osama bin Laden, Ruhollah Khomeini, Saddam Hussein, Benito Mussolini, Idi Amin, and Muammar Gaddafi.

Although all of them are designed to measure the personality, the Murderous Villain Test should not be confused with the CT-NEO-IP, the IPIP-NEO, the NEO PI-R^™, or the MBTI^®. However, all of them are personality tests (or personality inventories) for measuring the dimensions of personality. The authors of this online personality test are certified in the use of multiple personality tests and have worked professionally with typology and personality testing.
