Busy English teachers often lack time in conducting diagnostic assessment prior to the new academic period, due to the large number of classes they must teach and lots of academic admisnistration work. On the other side, to go in line with the government emphasis on cultivating the character building in education nowadays, personality becomes one added element for the students’ measurement of success, adding the list of the teacher’s duties. In this digital era, busy English teachers can use free online tests of personality and English proficiency. These tests can be easily administered for classroom diagnostic purposes. This paper discusses the implementation of free on line personality and proficiency diagnostic tests administered at the EFL intermediate grammar class and writing class. With 21 participants, the result of the study shows that the students are all computer literate, and the major types of personality in the class are extrovert (11), sensing (15), thinking (13), and judging ( 14) with the ISFJ as the major type of the four- bipolar personality (the sentinel-the defender). Further, the average score of English proficiency in the class is 45/120 (IBT) or 445(PBT). These quickly gained diagnostic assessment data truly contribute valuable information on the students needs and environment to start the class with.
