There are many personality tests. The most common are MMPI and Millon
Usually when people talk about "personality tests" they are referring to the Myers-Briggs which is an introspective subjective questionnaire of how you perceive the world. It's based on four principal psychological functions – sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking – and that one of these four functions is dominant for a person most of the time. The four categories are Introversion/Extraversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, Judging/Perception.
Hello and thank you for your question,

A personality test in psychology usually refers to the Myers Briggs personality test which measures personality type. This test actually measures traits and preferences, and does not predict behavior or specific outcomes.

Thank you,
