Personality Tests...

So, I was invited to take a Myers-Briggs test on Facebook, which I had already taken... I looked at my results again, and thought to myself, "this doesn't seem too accurate

Because your results arent strong. Theyre all borderline, so theyre going to shift.

My results arent even *close* to borderline, so I get consistent results.

You are blowing my mind. Are you telling me that I cannot believe everything I find from the internet!?!

Myers-Briggs is complete and total bullshit. Really.

I'm curious why you think so.

Welcome to Myers-Briggs! Your scores can change depending on your mood in most Myers-Briggs tests. It's more accurate than random, but hardly actually useful.

ENFP seems most likely to me, though.

Taking the same test again and again so quickly while knowing the results each time, you bias your answers each time.

Conceivable... but the three tests I took were each different, the first two made of binary decisions, and the third choosing where I fall between two juxtaposed qualities. So, while they all seemed like they could be testing for the same things, I felt like if I tried to answer the questions as honestly as I could each time, they would be about as accurate as they could be.

On the other hand, I know that with about four questions on the second test (Personality Test Center) , I could see that the questions were similar to ones on the first test(humanmetrics), yet the phrasing was different enough that I felt like my answer might have changed, if they were counting the questions the same way
