Good to see you too, as well as the rest of you. Sorry if I was a bit abrupt there with what I think about personality tests. But it's what I think and what I've read.

The last few times you've been here you apologize for something. No one else here does, why are you? Never apologize for what you think as long as it's honest...

I didn't weigh in because SIG and 1kiki are always pushing what's incorrect. I completely agree with you. I only posted here to say hello.
P.S. If you think your post was a bit abrupt, you're being way to hard on yourself. I thought you were very cordial.

As I gather, validity depends on the test itself. I know that many tests repeat some of the same question more than twice, in both positive and negative modes, to see how consistent you are with that answer. And it's always possible to screw with the results, especially if you're bright and have a grotch against tests!
Anyway, I would never suggest that anyone actually PAY for the "full results" of this test. But it was fun. When part of the lab took it, we were all almost completely the same type- or nearly the same type - with one exception. This guy stuck out like sore thumb IRL and virtually. We had a great time comparing results and laughing about it.
Good grief, people. Lighten up!

I think the tests are pretty accurate, although I agree that depending on your mood from week to week you might be different enough to put yourself in another category. But unless you're a really unstable person I don't think the results would put you in a category that wasn't adjacent and extremely similar. The test probably shouldn't be used for any serious things like career building, at least not on its own merits. I think they are pretty good baselines though.
I know it wasn't really a joke about taking the Muppet personality test, but is it really any surprise that people who took both tests ended up with strikingly similar results?
Yes, I do believe that with a world population of 7 billion people you could theoretically fit them into about 16 different categories, so long as they aren't absolutes.
How do you think con-men make a living? If everybody was really an individual and you couldn't predict their actions, they'd all be out of business because they'd never know what anybody was going to do next. They don't use tests like these to determine personality traits, but I'd imagine they have tests of their own they perform and any of the successful ones know within a few minutes who is a good mark and who they should steer clear of.
Sad but true... but for the most part, we really are that predictable.

I gave you the author and title of the book that includes her references to studies by the APA, National Sciences, a number of University psychiatric and psychological professors, and even two national head hunting agency directors, most that can be found at the APA web site or University libraries and in an actual book store.
Oh wait, silly me, you want interweb sites that are free because you're too cheap to buy an actual book and physically read something besides an executive summary on some web page.
Sorry, her book is $13.00 (easily found at Chapters if either of you can get your fat lazy asses off your computer chair) and some of the research papers on the APA website are up to $30.00, but I'm sure neither one of you will ever spend a penny on actual verified and validated documents let alone read and understand them.
In fact, both of you can take your shit attitudes and your lack of reading skills and any intelligence and go f*** yourself.

Nice to see you here DEVERSE. Fist, Jack doesn't read or do any type research. He basically wings it. Then there is 1kiki and SIG. All they do here is troll now. It's been that way since I arrived. Quote:

DEVERSE: I suspect that you did a personality test on yourself and found that you were a humorless asshole who insisted on holding longstanding grudges against people who didn't bow to your superior wisdom!
THUGR: I suspect that YOU took the personality test and that they recommended that you take remedial "thinking classes" and maybe that you should apply for disability because of cognitive disorder!
Just kidding.

Good grief, people! I can't understand what all of the pushback is about especially when people post similar questionnaires about your (presumed) political leanings.
Do you know how in the middle ages they used to believe that people came in four "types"? Bilious, sanguine, phlegmatic and choleric? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humorism Well, I suspect that people react according to certain setpoints, maybe related to the various neurotransmitters .... introverts, for example, lack dopamine; while adventurers have fewer G protein-coupled receptors.
Anyway, it was just to be interesting and maybe even amusing; I can't imagine what all the fuss is about. It seems to be an unnecessarily hostile and even fearful response.
