The BRACE (Behavioral Relativity And Cognitive Economics) Character Profile analysis can be taken online, and its way more 'official' than most online personality tests because its used by psychs, but even when used by psychs remember its not diagnostic. It will take time to self-evaluate yourself and you need to download an Excel file from their site as well to see your results.
First, go to http://braceanalysis.com/free_downloads/I and I Graphics and Charts generator.XLT and, if you need to, something to open it with such as OpenOffice or SSuite Office Excalibur release (I use OpenOffice).
Then fill out http://www.braceanalysis.com/clientarea/profile_hl.html before entering the data into the .xls file.
After opening the .xls file, click on Raw Data Entry and enter your answers, then see what you get as results in your Analysis Aide. Green results are suggested the most strongly, yellow results are less strongly suggested, red/pink results are negative and just ignore the grey ones.
These are the meanings of the twelve columns from left to right, and of the 'three core aspects of human nature'.
For example, these are my results.
