Personality tests are total bullshit. Since it is, after all, you who fills it out, why should you be surprised when somehow, through the mysterious workings of this painstakingly crafted test, it tells you that you are like yourself? That is, all personality tests are capable of are obvious tautologies that represent nothing meaningful about an individual.
