For some reason, I find various online "personality" tests
interesting, mostly because I'm curious about how the code works under
the hood. There are so many subtleties involved, including the
test-takers self-perception, their ability to be honest with
themselves, and the difficulty of measuring complex traits with
"Agree/Disagree" types of questions.
Anyway, there's no shortage of these types of things online and I came across this one via Peter Provost. The results below are probably more accurate than not for me… again, if I’m being honest with myself. :P
