Here is the list of personality axes OkCupid uses. There’s quite a few of them. There’s also that four-letter personality test, though I can’t remember its name at the moment.
I wouldn’t bother if that’s all you want out of OKCupid. The results are either very obvious, or I disagree with them entirely. For instance, apparently I am “more into sport.” The only sport I enjoy watching is Australian rules football, and that I haven’t watched in 4 or more years.
Ok I get it. I don’t really find it convincing but I get it. I can understand the idea of a ‘space’ made of personality dimensions and I can envisage an idea that someone could link their identity as their area in such a space.
Personality theory seems pretty weak (and boring) to me, a sort of left over from Freud’s and other psychoanalytic theories. So I guess I have nothing to add to this discussion.

MBTI most likely.
Edit: After reading that link about okCupid’s axes I have the most ridiculous desire to sign up just so I can get myself categorised.
