I actually find that not to be the case with this test. Some of the responses are unusually specific, so they can be completely wrong.

That doesn't mean the test has any merit, but its flaw is not that the results are so generic that they could be applied to anyone.

quote:

Fond of tradition, but attached more to the joy of human interaction, you are often a beacon of hope to those members of society who have lost faith or who are in need of succor. You are often emotional, and this emotionality is rarely held in check. Kind and helping by nature, when affronted you will explode, and just as suddenly when the pain has passed return to normalcy again. On occasion this quick and vibrant emotionality is translated into a life on the stage or screen. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, but can sometimes be left confused and uncertain in times of stress or when tough decisions must be made. You avoid conflict, tending to stay out of trouble in hopes that the group will benefit most from this behavior. Because you have trouble putting your own needs first, you will be put in much stress if you find yourself in an unequal relationship, one in which your partner is not as giving as you are.

Not accurate at all really, except for the "avoiding conflict" part.

I would add to this, in agreement, saying that I found what it said about my issues with authority to be a black-and-white blanket assessment. I have problems with idiots in authority but I can think of several instances where I have a high regard for competent authority figures.

They're twenty questions, the answers of which are used to infer very general and salient traits about the individual. I certainly thought mine relevant but I hardly view it as qualitatively definitive as I can perceive distinct differences between myself and those who acquired similar results.

not surprising at all:

quote:

You have a poetic sensibility and an ability to see beyond the day to day. You often seem to be living in a higher realm, or to be not-of-this-earth. Occasionally you imagine interior lives for friends and associates that are near-complete fabrications based on your fears or hopes for the future. You are often not aware of your own feelings. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and because of this are often disappointed. Despite what can sometimes be a destructive inward-turning anger, you are very gentle. You are sometimes a bit out of touch with the ebb and flow of modern life. If your behavior is out of synch with your moral values, a severe psychic disturbance can result. Because connectivity is so important to you, you can become quiet and sulky if you feel that others around do not understand your point of view.
