Personality tests are BS, right?

[GUWOPPERS]

So I was looking into word association techniques used by Sigmund Freud and found this website that had a word association test, so I took it cause why not. Free Association Test - Twinword Mind

I always get INTJ. Every, single, time. Is that just a catch all for most nerds that take these tests or are they onto something?

Spoiler

Cause when I looked up the company Twinword, they are pretty much banking off technology that uses word association to guess what you will type in search engines and shyt. So are we just giving them free data if we take the test?

Meh, never bought into that shyt. I can go out for 2 months straight and have totally different answers than if I stayed in those past 2 months. Also depends on the group of people I'm around. Human personality is more complex than "where do you stand when you're at a party" imo.

Edit: Just tried it twice and got two completely different personality types. Take that for what it's worth.

I mean I see what you're saying, but did you see the test? It didn't seem that cut and dry.

Yup, just tried it twice. Two different personality types. One is introverted, the other is extroverted. Neither one really describes me.

They're more accurate than fukking horoscopes, that's for sure.

 

[WSFGDan]

hmmmm

 

[CEITEDMOFO]

Always assumed that they were.

 

[MoroccanBoy]

I get a different result every time I take one. you can't pin a human personality into one label. It's ever changing at all times.

 

[Jatigi]

That website you posted is giving me a different result every single time. So it has to be bullshyt. Probably the worst one I've seen up to this point.

However, there is probably more truth to them than horoscopes, which are 100% bullshyt and have been tested. I have gotten INTP on several tests. It seems to describe me, .

ISTJ

Doing what should be done
Responsible, sincere, analytical, reserved, realistic, systematic
ISTJs are logical, organized, sensible, and earnest traditionalists who enjoy keeping their lives and environments well-regulated. Despite their dependability and good intentions, ISTJs can experience difficulty in understanding and responding to the emotional needs of others

[GodinDaFlesh]

MBTI is the least bullshyt out of all the personality tests. People have natural preferences (natural introvert vs natural extrovert, better with your hands or better at planning big picture strategy; talk to people bluntly vs taking a more diplomatic approach; long range planner vs spontaneity, etc.). It's still not 100% science because people's personalities can change depending on the scenario.

 

[Obreh Winfrey]

I haven't done this one in particular but the ones I have done list me as either INTJ or ENTJ, which is accurate.
