Myers-Briggs
The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) uses a mixture of four boolean character traits to create sixteen potential personalities types. Each letter of the resulting personality is taken from the first letter of the eight descriptors which are introvert, extravert, sensing, intuition, thinking, feeling, judging or perceiving.
The MBTI is one of the most widely used introspective self-reporting questionnaires and can be self-administered. It's widely known as a "standard" but has lost popularity in recent years with the rise of more "team dynamics" based assesments.

Enneagram
The Enneagram test defines people by nine different personality types. Each type is called an "enneatypes" and uses "stress" and "growth" states to show interdependence between the other types. Each personality is also associated with a "wing" which adds additional individuality to the result.
Some people believe the Enneagram is not biblical or Christian and should be avoided. Others see it as just another tool to help classify personality. Since the original inventor of the Enneagram is largely unknown, please use your own discretion.

Strengthsfinder
Starting in 1988, Don Clifton started working on what is now called the "Strengthsfinder" assessment (aka: CliftonStrengths). It is broken down into four "domains" with 34 individual "strengths" within them. It has become a very popular tool within the business industry. His research has been transferred to the people at Gallup and Tom Rath.
Since this assessment is typically used for business development and helps to identify team dynamics, it does require a fee. It also comes with a wide array of supporting material and deeper insight into each category you might fall into.

DISC
In 1956, the first DISC assessment was administered based on Marston's theory of how individuals prefer to interact with their environment. The primary goal of the self-assessment was originally intended for choosing specific professional candidates for employment.
DISC stands for the four core qualities within the assessment and each quality explains how individuals prefer to interact with the environment around them. Dominance prefer force when overcoming resistance. Inducement prefer to use charm. Submission prefer voluntary acceptance and Compliance adjust based on fear.
