Buy a book that explores your personality and has a personality test. Have read and taken many of these and the two that I found that were the most accurate called The Personality Self Portrait and the other is The Ennagram. I don't have the books near me now so I can't tell you the authors but if you do a search on the titles you should be able to locate a copy. I found The Personality Self Portrait book through a college psychology class that was all about personality. It's not a text book. It's just a regular book you can purchase at Barnes & Noble. It has a pretty lengthy test, but I think you'll find it's accurate. Once you figure out your personality type, it gives you all kinds of info like what careers you might like, what your marriage partner's traits may need to be to counter you traits, etc. It's great.

The most used and highly descriptive personality test is the Myers-Briggs type test. The true test is about 100 questions, so be careful if you're searching the internet. Upon answering the questions pick the answer that BEST describes your typical behavior. It types you into
Extroverted v Introverted
Sensing v Intuition
Thinking v Feeling
Judging v. Perceiving
Your Myers-Brigg type will generally stay the same throughout your life.
On a different note...
As far as not know who you are it is a common problem among most teenagers, and most adults. Personality tests are useful, but really look at yourself...figure out what you want to know about yourself and find it. What distinguishes you from the next person. Define what you're looking for and then find it, if that's yourself, who you want to be, or who you're becoming.

I like the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. It is the most comprehensive of the personality tests. It drops everyone into one of 16 types:
1. introverted/extroverted (I-E)
2. sensing/intuitive (S-N)
3. thinking/feeling (T-F)
4. judging/perceiving (J-P)
I am borderline INFJ/ENFJ.
Here is a short but free version of the test.

The first thing is you have to understand who you are in actuality. You are not this body, ie; race, color, nationality, religion, intelletc, senses, occupation. ect. We are eternal souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul.(also known as Krishna, Allah, Vishnu, Jehovah, etc. ) We have to reconnect to find out our true nature. The quickest and easiest way to understand our constitutional position and eternal occupation is to chant the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from suffering and illusion.) go to krishnaculture. for details and read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada. to know our purpose in life.
