This is certainly not one of the most accurate personality test I've ever taken. Haha. Judging from the way this thingy is formulated, everyone fits into one of nine categories. Not possible right? But nevertheless, I took a personality test when I was in jc, and I found the result rather accurate. I've double personalities. I was quite shocked initially. Haha. I remember I did the test with my teacher, and both of us were stunned over the results.
Perhaps, some qualities are inborn. Some qualities are stimulated due to the changes in surroundings. It so happened that some of them are kind of contradicting. Anyway, I still believe there's no way whereby a person's character can be described in merely a few words, or even a few paragraphs.
It takes time to understand a person. But given the same time span, the same amount of interaction, different people may make different observations.
