anchor.diff:  Here are the problems I see with personality tests:
   
   - we don't know ourselves that well. It seems like personal questions should be the easiest. 
  -But I found it untrue. I'd go ahead and say that life to some extent is about learning about yourself. So if you don't know yourself perfectly well, you can't really assess yourself objectively.
  +But I found it to be untrue. I'd go ahead and say that life to some extent is about learning about yourself. So if you don't know yourself perfectly well, you can't really assess yourself objectively.
   
   - wishful thinking. People understand what features are "better" than others and then select them. 
   Sometimes, we select option we would like to have, but not the one we have now.
  
positive.code: 
  Ok, so personality tests have a bunch of problems. Should you still take them? Absolutely. 
  They can provide ideas, insights or rather questions for you to think about play with. 
  They are just a tool to facilitate self-discovery, not provide answers. So take them for what they are.

  I have this weird problem: I can't take personality tests. 
  When I'm trying to do such tests, my brain starts working extremely hard.
