Your personality?

[failedALIAS]

I dislike playing the "I've studied this so I know more than you" card, but having taken a few higher psychology courses, I am well aware that Jungian tests are hardly accurate indicators of one's personality.

To put it simply, self-report data lacks validity. Information found through surveys or questionnaires pretty much always have the potential to suffer from confirmation bias, self-serving bias (or modesty bias if your cultural paradigm leans towards collectivist), and possibly also demand characteristics. The most credible indicators of personality are found through observations of behaviour within either controlled conditions (but not too much, since laboratory experiments suffer artificiality), or through strong correlations identified by field observations. Furthermore, this personality test makes use of only nominal data at best because its only possible answers were "yes" or "no", which basically throws you into black-and-white regions of categorization.

That said, quizzes like these are still very fun and I like to see where my own confirmation bias takes me.

Edit: Perhaps "confirmation bias" isn't the best term to describe the idea that self-report data has little validity. What I basically mean is that the way a question asks you to judge yourself could cause you to lean towards certain expected ways of self-perception that may or may not be true of how you actually behave.

You just made me wet. . .

I've observed significant fault in various determinant tests. Why, the first IQ tests, when used on immigrants, -- all of which had travelled to America at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution -- got shockingly low scores. A key factor to this might of been that the tests were all in English. Others(countries, that is) vary, in their education, country to country, and what each one values in terms of educational focal points. The United States, for instance, values Mathematics and English as the higher of core curriculum. While another country may value Sociology; thus creating a boundary in what they are suited best for, and what the test focuses on.

The same might be said for any personality test. The big focus we have on personality only started because of the ideal image of the business man or salesman, either in them sitting at the conference table discussing the terms of agreement for the next transaction, or going door to door, making the resident at each need and want the product they're selling.
The woman of the household had to present themselves as interesting though traditional, to all the other housewives in the neighborhood. Thus personality became power. It was how one moved up in the world; likable but demanding.

Or some shit.
