MNTEST™ · Free

The official Multiple Natures assessment.

We built MNTEST to do one thing well: return a clear look at a person's shape across the Nine Natures and the Ten Intelligences. Steven Rudolph developed it over 20 years of validation research, and we have delivered 300,000+ profiles to date. 76 items, about 15 minutes. There are no right answers and no time limit.

Access is currently by request. We respond within 24 hours with a link to take the assessment.

What it returns

Two views, taken together. The Nine Natures describe the kinds of demand you orient to — what calls you, what you are pulled to supply. The Ten Intelligences describe the channels you engage through — how you take in, work with, and act on what is in front of you. MNTEST returns both, with the relative shape of each across the full set.

Your Nine Natures profile

The relative shape of Protective, Educative, Administrative, Creative, Healing, Entertaining, Providing, Entrepreneurial, and Adventurous in your nature. Not a type. A profile across all nine.

Your Ten Intelligences profile

The relative shape of Gross Bodily, Fine Bodily, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Logical, Linguistic, Graphic Visual, Spatial Visual, Musical, and Naturalistic. Which channels carry signal more readily for you, and which carry less.

The two together

What kinds of demand you are oriented to meet — and the channels through which you actually meet them. The combination is what makes a profile useful in a particular situation, and what the MN Situation Map works from.

After the test

MNTEST tells you what is in your shape. It does not tell you what is happening to you in your current situation. That is a different question, and it is what the MN Situation Map is for. The Map takes the profile produced here and works it against a written intake about where you are, what is working, and what is not. It is returned as a written PDF, usually within a day.

What this is not

It is not a personality test. It does not type. It does not predict. It does not tell you who you are, what to do, or where you will be happy.

It is an observational look at your shape across two taxonomies. What you do with it is yours.
