I'm currently looking through a lot of material regarding personality types in light of recent posts and am beginning to wonder if my distrust/dislike of such tests is due to my high independence/low conscientiousness/low agreeableness/high novelty seeking (an amalgam of traits that different tests seem to identify).
I guess that would be irony.
It might actually be useful if personality tests rated how much their different categories liked taking personality tests, as this could hint at how informal polls are skewed.
i.e. people type G are represented by 5% of voluntary test takers, but research shows they are 20% of the general population. If they are known to be 1/4 as likely to take tests, then you don't need to think your audience personality is skewed.
Definitely. I've never been able to drag myself through a psychetype test, but from reading descriptions, I believe I'm an I(mild)N(strong)F(strong)P(strong).
