How to Get SBTI BOSS (The Leader) on the Test
Want to land the The Leader type on your SBTI result? Here's exactly which traits to lean into, what kinds of answers produce BOSS, and what to avoid. Works for anyone trying to get BOSS deliberately — or avoid it.
The Short Answer
The BOSS type is typically generated by responses that prioritize action, efficiency, and a clear vision. Answering questions in a way that emphasizes your preference for leadership, strategic thinking, and decisiveness will likely result in this type. Basically, you chose answers that said you like to be in charge and get things done.
Step 1: Emphasize these core traits
The SBTI test maps your answers across 15 dimensions. To get BOSS, your responses should consistently signal:
- 1Decisive
- 2Strategic
- 3Commanding
- 4Ambitious
- 5Efficient
- 6Visionary
Step 2: Answer patterns to aim for
✓ You instinctively take charge in group projects.
✓ You have a natural talent for organizing and planning.
✓ You get frustrated when people are inefficient.
✓ You often find yourself explaining things to others.
✓ You have a clear vision for the future.
✓ You're comfortable making difficult decisions.
Step 3: What to avoid
If you keep ending up on ZZZZ / POOR instead of BOSS, your answers are tilting toward those archetypes. Specifically avoid:
- ✗ Over-emphasizing micromanaging
- ✗ Over-emphasizing impatience
- ✗ Over-emphasizing workaholism
- ✗ Over-emphasizing authoritarian tendencies
- ✗ Over-emphasizing difficulty relaxing
- ✗ Over-emphasizing dismissive of alternative viewpoints

SBTI is entertainment, not a clinical assessment. Plenty of people retake it to see different results, unlock the hidden DRUNK type, or land the label their friends got. There's no ethical issue with steering your answers — the test makers built it as a meme, not a diagnostic. Just remember: the most interesting result is usually the one you get when you answer honestly first time.
