Welcome to The Van Tharp Institute's

Investment Psychology Profile

This profile will collect information needed to generate your personal psychology evaluation showing how you compare with other investors in the critical skills needed to be a successful investor/trader.

How to take the test

You will be asked a series of True/False or A/B questions. Please answer each question by choosing the most appropriate answer. Be sure to answer according to how you actually behave, think, or feel. That is, if a statement is TRUE or MOSTLY TRUE for the way you behave, think, or feel, then choose TRUE. If a statement is MOSTLY FALSE or FALSE, then choose FALSE.

If you don't understand a question, then you can move to the next question, but TRY TO ANSWER as many questions as you can. This is very important. If you skip too many questions, it will be very difficult to give you an accurate profile.

When you're ready to begin, fill out the information below and click the "Start Test" button. If you don't have time to complete the test, you can click the "Save & Exit" button within the test (the button will send you an email with a link that returns you to the test).
