Do yo do them? I do some for fun but don't put to much credence in them. I did the Jung test a few times and my personality changed three time LOL, talk about split personality!

In my opinion, they are not really that accurate. Usually the outcome is determined by which answers you pick but sometimes people lie about answers. I still think they're fun anyway.

Depends on who is conducting them. If its the dodgy online ones then yes, I dont put much weight in them, but the psychological ones, the kind they give out during job interviews and what not. Well Im more inclined to believe them a little more because they have been tested and retested and a lot of money has going into making them :)

I do them for fun, too. I don't believe in the results because they are so changeable, but I usually find that some of the things they say are true. I'm sure that they have a system so that everyone will find a few general traits that match their personality.

I'm sure you are right. I also think we are way to complicated beings to be explained away that easily !!

I do and even conduct some personality test or psychological test. All of these test are standardized, the results of the test depends to your answer. No right and wrong answer. YOu're right don't depend too much on the results especially when the outcomes is negative coz it will only affect you. The purpose of this test is to assess your personality and it doesn't mean that it is your attributes or characteristics based on the results. But we can rely to it by little only. When taking this kind of test try to be objective, because being too subjective may result only as cheating not the test nor the person conducting it BUT YOURSELF.Be honest and consistent in taking this kinds of test. Good luck........

Everytime you do the same test, you more or less should give the same answers if you are always being honest. However, sometimes your answers could be affected by something that happened to you earlier that day or even days before you filling out the test questionnaire. Sometimes, you are so affected that your answers will be a bit different, which will give different results. Best thing is to fill in the questionniare when you are in the same sort of mood, you are not tired or stressed or anything. Just when you are in a neutral state.

I found the Jung test changed over the years, i think maybe my outlook on things changed and it makes me wonder if our personalities change a bid over the years!

I think our outlook, etc do change with time. I though you meant you did those tests within weeks apart. If it was years then I wouldn't be surprised. As you get ahead (deliberately not saying older) you get more experience in life so these experiences do make you change your mind about things. Or even foods you didn't like a year ago might really enjoy now. We all change, however, our basic human being things don't change.
