In high school I took a search for identity class. We read Daphne du Maurier The Scapegoat.

I read it in a week then carried on a 9 week discussion with my teacher while the rest of the class that didn't read the book listened in. She let me skip the final since she knew I read the book. I had more questions than answers at the end of the class. I kept trying to learn stuff but felt like I was looking at life through funny/weird/distorted glasses. Nothing made sense until I entered counseling. I felt like my life was turned upside down and inside out. All shook up like a snow globe.
I continue to explore personality types. Here are a few of the tests I have tried.....

There are other free personality tests you can try out. Occasionally you will run across one that charges a fee. Proceed with caution.
What is interesting to me is on different days or after certain events I can end up with a different answers. After counseling my answers are less different and a bit more consistent.
While I was taking a True Colors https://truecolorsintl.com/ class for school that I took an Introvert/Extrovert test and learned to my surprise that I am fairly high on the scale of Introvert. Then I watched some Ted Talks, followed an Introvert Facebook group, and studied more to realize that things that I blamed on PTSD were actually signs of being an Introvert.
TED talk on the Power of Introverts.
