[MENTION=26002]estorm[/MENTION] The other two things I would say from a feedback standpoint is that when I said 3 was "so so" in terms of describing me, it gave me another question which then led to another 3 result. I honestly had a difficult time answering many of the questions - many of the answers didn't resonate with me - I found myself thinking none of these answers are good especially on the first page of the test. I also had a hard time picking the best option in some of the latter questions because two answers would seem equally right.
Thanks, [MENTION=8936]highlander[/MENTION], for sharing the test. I'm already learning things.
As I developed this test, one feedback I got is that some people really have a hard time with / feel uncomfortable with forced-choice type questions where you must choose one over another. While I completely sympathize, from a test maker's perspective, giving the option for a tie makes finding a result almost impossible. One way around this is to ask 120 questions hoping for a (slight) majority vote on something asked many times in slightly different ways. So having chosen the short test format with forced-choices, I apologize to this who find it irritating or difficult.
Are there other tests on which you didn't find this problem?
I have to say as one who had taken many tests, being on the developing end has really changed how I see tests. There are a lot of variables (many beyond my control) to juggle in order to get accurate results for most people, for example, mood, self-awareness, knowing the Enneagram and MBTI, quality of attention in the moment, etc. Versus the things I can control: wording, sequence, scoring algorithms, etc. I have reached a point that if at least 80% of the test takers feel okay about their result, then I'm feeling pretty good about the test.
I'd be interested to hear from the community about how they see personality tests generally and what they expect from them and like or dislike in them.
Thanks.
