Do you think that those personality test are accurate, does any one knows any concerns about there results?

Answer 1

Most of them are based on outdated theories, so the questions are sometimes inappropriate and the interpretations of the answers are off-target. I have studied the reliability and validity research of all the most popular personality tests, and not a single one reports the kind of reliability and validity you'd want to see in order to have confidence in the results. But they often ring true for two reasons:

1. The "astrology effect." Often the interpretations use generic one-size-fits-all language that rings true for anyone, regardless of their personality.

2. Sometimes, a statement or two will be accurate, because the personality test isn't completely inaccurate or flawed. People focus on these instances, saying "Wow!" and ignore the rest.

Even the most widely used personality test, the MBTI, has serious flaws and problems. It remains popular because so many of the others are actually worse.

I wouldn't put too much faith in any of them, if I were you. The most accurate test I ever saw is MindFrames, based on real brain research, on

Answer 2

Most psychologists who use personality tests treat them as only one piece of information when evaluating a client. They would usually also do an interview and possibly talk to others about the client (family members, for example) depending on the type of evaluation they are doing. However, personality tests which have been properly standardized, can be quite accurate, even when interpreted "blind" (without other information). An ethical psychologist would use only standardized personality tests. But there are a lot of "personality tests" floating around, which are administered online or in magazines, which really don't have a lot of validity. They are probably best viewed as a form of entertainment.

Answer 3

An acquittance of mine had to take the Minnesota Multi-Phasic Inventory (MMPI) she said it was fairly accurate. At 400 questions one would hope so. However, when seeing the result of short personality test (like those found in magazines and Internet.) might be similar to reading ones fortune. One may draw conclusions where they do not belong or magnify what was accurate and forget what is not accurate. Ultimately though I do not have much experience in that area so I may be wrong.

Answer 4

abandonment issues are the central part of borderline - if you don't have that problem, it probably isn't borderline, is my understanding (even though the dsm has a list of things, it sounds like abandonment is the main issue). Also, another major issue is black and white thinking - either someone is on a pedestal, or they are the worst piece of crap imaginable. I think splitting is what that is called. It's possible you have a personality disorder. Other possibilites are medication side effects, street drug or alcohol use, PTSD from sexual abuse or severe emotional abuse, including severe bullying, for example, bipolar disorder, depression, etc. given your current problems, you should be seeing a therapist, and possibly a psychiatrist - I would say a therapist first, since psychiatrists only prescribe pills nowadays, and usually they aren't that helpful for the kinds of problems you have. If it turns out to be bipolar, the meds do help that more, but antidepressants have turned out to be glorified placebos except in severe depression, which they don't even help that very much for most people, turns out.
