Intent matters for dick. A person can try to be honest all they want.

For example, if you ask most people whether they think they are more logical or more emotional and OF COURSE they say logical. Most people want to make rational decisions based on reason and logic, and most people think they do. Watch those same people and you'll notice they are governed way more by their emotions than they think, just like everyone else.

You can say none are supposed to be better or worse, but that's just more BS. First of all, people have preferences. They like certain personalities and they dislike others, and are therefore going to see some of those as better than others, whether they do so consciously or not. Second, I never said they were choosing their fake results, just their probably fake answers.

Personality tests are fun, but dumb. Imagine trying to summarize a complex human being with a couple dozen vague questions.

Lol. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on some things. I don't actually believe a person's entire personality can be summed up by one test, but I think you go a bit overboard with your belief about people's tendency to misrepresent themselves. It might be true for some people, but I'm sure many people can acknowledge that they have less desirable traits. It's not as hard to admit as you make it seem. I mean, you even alluded to that fact yourself when you said that most people act out of emotion. If you can admit that many people act that way, why wouldn't other people be able to? I can admit that I sometimes do. Are you saying most people are incapable of being honest about themselves?
