Psycology tests? Okay, that's a pretty general topic really. Just because there's so many out there. You've got your people who ask stupid questions entirely, some of those quizes are really just cute stuff, and they're supposed to just say whatever is supposed to sound good. Then, there's the personality quiz things that people put up who think they know what they're talking about, and really, their results aren't all that off base. But they aren't as well researched, and it's mostly just their opinion. There are no numbers or anything to fit what they are talking about. And then there are those that are based off of things that professors or the like come up with. They're really actually quite accurate in what they are talking about, and their findings are well based. But those are just some categories that I've found in looking around the net.

Off the net, there is a personality test that I've actually found to be pretty accurate, supposing you know what you're doing when you're taking it. It's a gut instinct thing, and once you're finished taking the test, you add up what all your results are. These two books, I've only read one of them though, are brilliant. One of my friends' mothers found, after reading them, that it was much easier to relate to people. She also found that what the book had to say was quite accurate, and on top of that, in knowing what things stand for, and then looking at people she knew, she was able to deduce what they were, and that's what helped her in understanding them better. In a sense, it was easier for her to realize that that was just how they were, and that some of their quirks were actually something that people like them had as a personality trait, as well as other such quirks being things that people like them often developed. It was almost like she got to know the basics of them better, making it so she could get to know them much better.

If anyone understood what I was saying, good. If not, sorry! It's not that she read it and suddenly the world was open to her, it's more that of something that she was able to use to get closer to people.

I don't believe in tests conducted over the internet unless a psychologist recomends it(and I don't mean an unverifiable endorsement. I mean a psychologist reccomends it to you personally).

it depends.. when the analyzation is perfomed by humans i think you can trust them.. but when it's done by computers with only multiple choice questions i doubt the honesty of it.


anyway indeed it is fun doing them but don't let them control your life!

The thing to remember about Psychology is that it is an inexact science that attempts to define the truth about humanity. Now, don't get me wrong, I respect the opinions of many veritable psychologists, and many individuals actually know what they're talking about. Here's the problem, not every psychologist is veritable, and many are simply looking for things that are profitable. These tests can be entertaining and even intriguing, but sometimes personality tests are about as accurate as the "What Disney Character Are You?" test in Disneyland. Enjoy them, share them, but don't ever shell out the big bucks for something that isn't credited.

On the other hand, some tests that you may like to consider are the Hartman Color Code test and the Holland Code test. Both are longstanding and have been improving for many years. And both can be found online for free. Just use your judgement when browsing online (because virtually anybody can put a website on the internet!)
