Questionnaires and Psychometrics

Go here and try this...

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes3.asp

This is what I came out as...

 You are:
  • moderately expressed introvert
  • distinctively expressed intuitive personality
  • slightly expressed thinking personality
  • moderately expressed perceiving personality

...it's totally wrong.

Have a go, read the questions, answer them carefully, post your profile in a post and then answer the question very carefully and with thought.  Refer to specific aspects of the questionnaire in your response.

Question

How close did you feel the outcome was to your personality type?

Very simply...why doesn't this questionnaire work at all (for some people)...maybe?

    I think my personality type was not correct because some of the questions were tricky and the grammar used was of a person studying a psychology degree.I think it only gave me one correct personality as an intuitive person.

    this is totally biased because I think it has certain number of questions of each personality and the more number so that if you put more yes' or no it will give you an answer based on the number count but not on the real personality.

    I dont think that this is true to my personality at all, not close either! A lot of the questions were repetitive but worded differently, with only being able to tick yes or no i find impossible for this to be reliable or correct therefore i dont think it works. Using the words "slightly, moderately and distinctively" in my opinion does not make it an accurate psychological personality test.

    this is sort of true to my personality as i like to express myself depending on the situation and the person/ people i express it to. also many of the questions i answered werent ider yes or no they were sometimes which i couldnt choose.

    I think is quite close to my personality types in some ways, but by looking at the other people's responses, I can see that the results are all in the same format. This gives the impression that all people have similar personalities, and that they can be assessed in similar ways. I don't think this is the case, I think the personality of a person is a very complex thing, and it is also circumstantial. The questions were all close minded, general and I don't think they could assess a person's personality in this way.

    I think this is slightly close to my personality but many of the questions i answered i didnt understand exactly what they meant and it would of been more accurate if there was an option to pick both yes and no.

    in my opinion the results are a little close to my personality; i do see myself as an extravert but i'm not sure about the moderately expressed part. one reason i think this questionaire won't work for people is because i don't think it is entirely accurate to use vague questions to work out an individal's personality. furthermore, some people might not answer correctly maybe because they don't really understand the question ot because they lied.

    I think this is moderately close to my personality type but slightly wrong about some of it.This is because most of the questions where repertoire of things that some people do not indulge in hence some answers would just be made up.

    i dont think the results were not anywhere near to my personality at all me an introvert!! dont think soo and the questionare was slightley biased because it used some words that i have never seen or heard before so i just guessed and selected any button which could have made my results less accurate

    i felt that the out come of the test is half right
    the test had a few words that the average teen wouldn't understand so i think on this part of the test were you get something u dont understand you would just guess their fore making you result inaccurate.... maybe if their was a definition on some words the test would be more accurate

    When i first saw these results i thought the test was kinda right, but if i was to sum it all up i could say that you could possibly be able to judge people without a test and just by the way they react. I thought that quite a few of the questions were irelavent and that they seemed to be repeated,but worded diffrently. It just seems like a test that judges your ability to be able to decifer the diffrences between the way sentences are phrased. To be honest even though i think that the test is quite accurate about who i am i think that this willn't effect everyone and even though it gave me that result on the test i still don't believe that they truely work.

    this is right to some degree as i have often observed some of these things about myself, which is what i feel was the problem; because i already had an idea of the type of person i am, i think i then answered the questions in a way that would suit who i thought i was rather than thinking deeply, this is why i don't think these tests work, people answer what they think they should be answering, rather than truly examining themselves.

    also like bianca said, the fact that it contains yes or no answers is very unsuitable for a personality test, as personalties are far more complicated than that!

    In some ways, I agree with this, but in other ways, I disagrees, because in different situations, my judging, feelings, and other factors change

    i thing the result is slightly close to my personality, and also there are some of the words i dont know and i have to guess,and i think is also kind of biased in some aspect. most of the question were complicated to answer.

    I think this is slightly close to me as i do express my feelings only slightly. However for the other "personalities" i believe that they are full of errors as it is CLEARLY the opposite or underestimated.
    I also thought that the questionaire had a few questions in which i could not bring myself to understand.
