Most are made up and silly.
The only one I’ve liked was in college I did a “communication style” one. Where it showed a bunch of different like emails, posts, and conversations and asked which you preferred to receive and which you were likely to write.
10 years later I still think about it, cause the goal of the work was to talk about how if you’re a certain communication style what to keep in mind with communicating with others. Like tips to not get frustrated with yellows who don’t care about facts when sending emails and how to write emails that don’t bore and frustrate people if you’re blue. (I’m blue green. I can sometimes write long emails)
I thought about it the other day cause a guy was complaining about all these emails that didn’t seem to say anything, they were just about feeling good, and he just wanted them to spit it out. Which corresponded to firey red getting mad at green.
So with that context, do you have any that actually had an impact on you?
I’ve heard the love language test is pretty decent
MBTI is astrology for people who think they’re too smart for astrology
I don’t understand this take. A system that extrapolates your personality from the movement of the stars, and a system that summarizes your personality from answers to a questionnaire about your personality, are fundamentally different approaches to personality categorization.
Edit: Astrology is prescriptive; you are categorized as this thing so you are expected to act in such a way. MBTI is descriptive; you act in such way so you are categorized as this thing. Whether or not you think those categories are accurate or significant, there is a fundamental difference between putting a label on a collection of traits, and declaring a correspondence between some separate factor and a collection of traits.
I think their point is both don’t stand up to rigorous scientific scrutiny.
