Ah, Humanmetrics!
I've seen definite S types test with 80% on the N scale simply because the questions are literally like:

ARE YOU SMART???

DO YOU ENJOY IDEAS??

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED INNOVATIVE??

True enough. Those are rather stupid questions. It's been a while since I subjected myself to the travesty that it is.

I still say their J ideas are far worse.

I should have seen that coming.

yup!

Mondo was exaggerating, but yeah, it's pretty much that bad.

See for yourself.

ah, thank you. i'll check that out.

edit: damn. i got to number 4 and was already irritated. "You feel involved when watching TV soaps. YES or NO"

what about those who'd rather shoot themselves than watch one? good grief.

TV Soaps make me feel sick inside. Even as child I hated them when my sisters and mother would watch. I like Dark Shadows, but part of that is because the props and such are so bad, like the bat where you can see the string.

The test is worse than the soaps. Check back when you reach 27 or so.

This one is particularly grating: "You often think about humankind and its destiny"

Saying yes to that one gives you an N point.
As if to say, all and only intuitives do that.

Right, and they knew that. Their catch all is, there's yes, no, and that third option you mentioned. They didn't bother putting it on the test 'cause those people are already dead and can't finish.

an S might read that and think, "yes, i think about how bad crime has gotten and where we're heading if something isn't done. so, *clicks 'yes'*"

where an N might read it and think, "yes, i think about why some cultures think stretching the females neck to ungodly and unnatural lengths is considered attractive and what would happen to them if missionaries came in and.... so, *clicks 'yes'*"

this test should be outlawed.

same here! and, i don't know if it means anything or not, but every single female in my family and friends who follow these things religiously are Ss.

not saying all of them get into them, but the ones that do, are.

hmmm....

soap operas are hilarious. I wouldn't say they make me feel sick inside. When i was growing up my grandma and grandpa always watched "their stories" and i would watch with them. I can't believe some of the drama that i see in those shows. It's almost like science fiction, people coming back from the dead, and people talking to ghosts and scenes from heaven.What bothers me about soaps is that it takes sooooo damn long to get to the big picture. a whole month of watching the soap, is really only about 2 or 3 days in soap time, and that just frustrates me. They majorly stick to details. I occasionally watch a certain soap, however i don't seem to get as into them as my mom and sisters. They act like they personally know the people and discuss them on a regular basis. I find that fairly silly.


i guess my post was fairly off topic. please don't split haha.


HUMANMETRICS SUCKS.

It has an awful name, too.

EDIT: The test was probably somewhat accurate for me.

P.S.: I think my mom is an N, and she loves soap operas. I think they're vile. I'd rather win World's Greatest Grandma than a Daytime Emmy.

haha, the funny thing is, that test has always produced accurate results for my friends whenever I've given it to them.

yeah, actually, it got mine right too.

but, i think it was more despite its method than because of it. it's just too easy to see why an S would click the same thing i did too many times.
