Terms & Conditions

Rules for using DecodePersonality, including acceptable use, copyright of the questions and site, disclaimers, liability limits, ads, and governing law.

Last updated September 6, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using DecodePersonality (the “Service,” “Website,” or “Site”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) and by our Privacy Policy, which is part of this agreement.

If you do not agree, stop using the Service. Do not take the test, do not send a contact message, and do not copy material from the Site. Continued use after we post changes means you accept those changes. The date at the top of this page tells you when the Terms were last revised.

1.1 Who these Terms cover

These Terms apply to every visitor who uses the Site. That includes people who take the 60-statement assessment, people who only read type pages, people who open the scoring or item-bank pages, and people who send a contact message. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean CyberRudra Technologies, which operates DecodePersonality.

1.2 What the Service includes

The Service is the public website at DecodePersonality.com: the free 16-type preference test, the result that can be saved in this browser, the 16 type guides, the method pages, Trust & Standards, the contact form, and third-party advertisements and measurement that run on those pages. It does not include third-party websites we link to or destinations behind an ad, and it does not include software you did not receive from us.

2. Intellectual Property and Use License

2.1 Ownership of content

The DecodePersonality name, logo, colors, layout, interface, quiz screens, result cards, illustrations, written content, 60 test questions, scoring explanation, type profiles, and the way that material is arranged are owned by DecodePersonality or our licensors. They are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Seeing a page in your browser does not transfer ownership to you. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.

2.2 Copyrighted questions

The 60 statements on the free test and on the All 60 Questions page are original literary works. They are copyrighted. We publish the full bank so you can check the work, not so another site can reuse it.

You may not, without written permission from us:

  • Copy, paste, republish, or translate the questions onto another website, app, book, course, worksheet, or test
  • Adapt, rewrite, or “rephrase” the statements to make a competing item bank
  • Use the questions in a paid product, a classroom pack you sell, or a white-label assessment
  • Feed the question list into a dataset used to train a model or to generate a similar test

Taking the test, answering the statements, and reading the list on this site are allowed. Copying the list off this site is not.

2.3 Site UI, design, and other content

The site interface is also protected: page layout, navigation, hero panels, quiz controls, result presentation, type-page structure, icons as arranged on our pages, and the overall look of DecodePersonality. Written pages (type guides, method, Trust & Standards, About, and similar) are copyrighted as well.

You may not, without written permission from us:

  • Clone or closely imitate the site UI for another product
  • Copy type-page text, scoring copy, or other articles onto another site
  • Reuse our illustrations, logo, or brand colors as if they were yours
  • Frame, mirror, or wrap our pages inside another site so they look like that site’s product

2.4 Assessment framework

This is our own instrument: we wrote the statements, chose the scale, and published the arithmetic. It is not the official MBTI® assessment. We are not affiliated with The Myers-Briggs Company. MBTI is a registered trademark of that organization. Publishing the bank and formula so you can check the work is not a license to copy them. The copy limits are in Sections 2.2 and 2.3.

2.5 What you may do without asking

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. That license includes:

  • Taking the test and reading your result in this browser
  • Sharing your own four-letter result in a reasonable, non-misleading way (for example, telling a friend what you received)
  • Linking to our pages, including the questions and scoring pages
  • Keeping a personal screenshot of your own result, not of the full question bank

2.6 What the license does not include

The license does not include resale, commercial reuse, using the type guides as a hiring or clinical manual, or scraping the bank or UI. Those limits are spelled out in Sections 2.2 and 2.3.

2.7 Anti-scraping and permission

You agree that you will not use an automated system, including robots, spiders, scrapers, or crawlers, to harvest the Service for any purpose, including building a competing test, cloning the interface, or training a model on our questions or type copy.

You may read the scoring method we already published. That is not the same as extracting the whole site by machine. If you want to quote more than a short review snippet, reuse a statement, or license the bank, write to support@decodepersonality.com and wait for written permission from CyberRudra Technologies. We may end your access and pursue available legal remedies if you break this section.

3. User Conduct and Fair Play

3.1 Intended use

DecodePersonality is a free 16-type preference snapshot. You answer 60 statements in this browser. Scoring runs on your device. Results save in local storage. There is no account and no fee to start. The Service is meant for self-understanding, conversation, and education: a language for how you work, decide, and recover, not a verdict about your worth.

A letter can be a close call. At 55% or below we mark it as too close to treat as settled. That is part of honest use. Treating a coin-flip letter as a fixed identity is not what the Service is for.

3.2 What the result is not

Results are informational. They are not medical, psychiatric, neurodevelopmental, or trauma diagnoses. They are not therapy, counseling, or a treatment plan. They are not legal, custody, investment, credit, or insurance advice. They are not a hiring, firing, or promotion rule. They are not a substitute for a licensed professional.

Do not use a four-letter code to screen candidates, assign work, or settle a dispute about another person. Do not tell someone to quit a job or leave a partner because of a type page. Our Trust & Standards page states those limits in more detail. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a qualified professional, not this site.

3.3 Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

  • Disrupt, overload, or interfere with our servers or network
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any part of the Service
  • Introduce malware or other harmful code
  • Submit harmful, abusive, or unlawful content through the contact form
  • Misrepresent a DecodePersonality result as a clinical finding or as the official MBTI® assessment
  • Copy the 60 questions, type-page text, or site UI onto another site, app, or product
  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose

We may suspend or end access immediately, without prior notice, if you violate these Terms. Because there is no account, that may mean blocking an address or otherwise restricting access to the Site.

3.4 Who can use the Service

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 13, do not use the contact form and do not send us personal information. If you use DecodePersonality on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms for that organization. An organization still may not use the test as a hiring tool.

3.5 Messages you send us

If you submit feedback or a contact message, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that content to operate and improve the Service (for example, to reply, to fix a broken page you reported, or to keep a record of the request). You remain responsible for what you send and confirm that you have the right to share it. Do not send us another person’s private data unless you are allowed to do so.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service, including all content, software functions, type pages, and information made available through it, is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CyberRudra Technologies and DecodePersonality disclaim all warranties, including:

  • Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement
  • Warranties that assessment results will be accurate for every person, stable across retakes, or useful for any particular decision
  • Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components
  • Warranties that a result saved in this browser will persist after you clear site data, change devices, or use a private window
  • Warranties that the four-letter format measures discrete types rather than continuous preferences, or that it predicts job performance, compatibility, or mental health

The method is a self-report instrument. Mood, recent events, and the version of yourself you would like to be all leak into the answers. We have not collected population norms. We have not run studies linking these results to job or relationship outcomes. You use the Service and rely on any result at your own risk.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DecodePersonality, CyberRudra Technologies, and their directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including:

  • Loss of profits, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses
  • Damages from using or being unable to use the Service
  • Damages from relying on a type result, a type page, a close-call note, or a comparison with another type
  • Loss of a saved result after you clear this browser or switch devices
  • Damages from a decision you or someone else made after reading the Site

This limit applies whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, statute, or tort, and whether or not we were told that the damage was possible.

Our total liability for any claim related to DecodePersonality will not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, or one hundred US dollars (US$100), whichever is greater. The Service is free to use, so in most cases that amount is US$100. In places that do not allow these limits, our liability is limited to the maximum the law allows.

5.1 Advertising vendors

The same limits apply to our advertising and analytics providers. They are not liable for ad content or for loss from ads shown on the Site. The US$100 cap in this Section 5 still applies, even if a remedy fails its essential purpose.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DecodePersonality, CyberRudra Technologies, and their officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors from claims, damages, losses, judgments, and reasonable legal fees arising from:

  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your use of the Service, including any result you received or shared
  • Your violation of another person’s rights
  • Content you submit through the contact form or by email
  • A claim that you used a DecodePersonality result to make a decision about someone else

9. Modifications to Terms

We may update these Terms or change the Service at any time, including the statements, the scoring presentation, or the type pages. When we update the Terms, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If a change is material, we will post a notice on the site before it takes effect. What counts as material is our decision, made in good faith.

Continued use after a revision becomes effective means you accept the new Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service. We encourage you to read this page again when the date changes.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that Section 11 is governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that Act applies.

Subject to Section 11, any legal action relating to your use of the Service will be brought in courts of competent jurisdiction in Maharashtra, India. You and DecodePersonality agree that those courts are a proper venue.

If we do not enforce a right in these Terms, that is not a waiver of that right later. If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about use of the Service, and they replace earlier oral or written statements about that use.

11. Binding Arbitration

11.1 Agreement to arbitrate

You agree that any dispute or claim against us or our service providers related to your use of this website, these Terms, or your relationship with us will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, except that (1) you may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court on an individual basis, so long as it stays in that court and is not a class or representative action, and (2) either side may seek a court order to stop infringement or other misuse of intellectual property (including copyright, trademark, and trade secrets).

You must start any arbitration or other claim within one year after the dispute arises. After that, the claim is permanently barred. This section applies to claims that arose before these Terms were posted, as well as claims that arise later.

You agree in advance that you will not participate in or seek money or other relief in a class, collective, or representative lawsuit against us. You may bring your own claim in an individual arbitration. If that claim succeeds, an arbitrator can award money or other individual relief. You may talk to a lawyer before you accept these Terms, including this section.

11.2 How to start a claim

First send a letter that describes your claim in detail, including your name and contact information, the legal claim, the specific facts (including dates and, if relevant, amounts), and the relief you want, to DecodePersonality, Legal / Arbitration Notices, at the postal address and email in Section 13.

We will try in good faith to resolve the claim informally. If we do not reach a resolution within 30 days, you may start arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted by JAMS. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under US$250,000, not including attorneys’ fees and interest, will use JAMS’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules. Larger claims will use JAMS’s Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. Those rules are available at jamsadr.com, or by calling JAMS. If JAMS cannot hear the case, the parties will choose another arbitral forum.

You may ask for a remote hearing, a decision on written submissions, or an in-person hearing at a place both sides accept. We may make an offer of judgment in the proceeding. If you do not accept it and the award is not more favorable than the offer, you will be responsible for costs we incurred after the offer, to the extent the law allows. A judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

11.3 Fees

If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford JAMS filing, administrative, or hearing fees and you cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, we will pay those fees for you. If the arbitrator finds the claims frivolous, you agree to pay our reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in the arbitration, to the extent the law allows.

11.4 Authority of the arbitrator

The arbitrator, not a court or agency, has exclusive authority to decide disputes about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Section 11, including any claim that all or part of it is void. The arbitration decides the rights and liabilities of you and us. It will not be consolidated with other matters except as described in Section 11.7.

The arbitrator may grant motions that dispose of all or part of a claim, may award money, and may grant any non-monetary individual remedy the law, the forum rules, and these Terms allow. The arbitrator will issue a written award that states the essential findings and, if damages are awarded, how they were calculated. The award is final and binding.

11.5 Waiver of jury trial

You and we waive any constitutional or statutory right to sue in court and to a trial before a judge or jury for claims covered by this section, except as stated in Section 11.1. An arbitrator can award the same individual damages a court could. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an award is limited.

11.6 No class actions

Except for the batch process in Section 11.7, claims must be arbitrated on an individual basis. Only individual relief is available. Claims of more than one user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated together. If this subsection is found unenforceable, neither side may compel arbitration and the dispute will be heard in court as provided in Section 10.

11.7 Batch arbitration

If 50 or more individual arbitration requests of a similar nature are filed against us within about 30 days, JAMS may administer those requests together as one consolidated arbitration before one arbitrator, with one fee schedule and one hearing if a hearing is needed. If the arbitrator finds a single proceeding impractical, the requests may be grouped into sets of at least 20, plus a remainder group, and each set heard as one consolidated arbitration.

Requests are of a similar nature when they arise from the same event, agreement, or facts, raise similar legal issues, and seek similar relief. Disagreements about whether this batch process applies will be decided in one consolidated proceeding that includes the affected parties. This subsection does not authorize a class or collective action.

11.8 Severability, survival, and later changes

If part of this Section 11 is invalid, that part is dropped and the rest remains in force. This section survives the end of your use of the Service. If we later make a material change to this section, it will not apply to a claim you had already noticed to us.

12. Termination

We may suspend or end your access immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you break these Terms or if we need to protect the platform, our users, or our legal duties. There is no account to close. Ending access may mean blocking an address or otherwise restricting use of the Site.

You may stop using DecodePersonality at any time. You may clear this browser’s stored progress and result yourself. Provisions that should survive termination do survive, including ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limits on liability, arbitration, and governing law.

13. Contact Information

Questions about these Terms, your usage rights, or a concern about the Service can be sent to support@decodepersonality.com or through our Contact Us page. We typically reply within 1 to 2 business days. For a legal notice or an arbitration letter, say so in the subject so we can prioritize it.
