How do personality tests work?
Summary
People love to test their personality, though, the speaker tells us that none of those tests reveal truths about personality.
It’s because it’s not known whether personality is a measurable feature of an individual at all or not, it’s easy to lie, self-reporting is not objective and people who get a test and who ask something subconsciously aim to please and believe the answers that they love. Furthermore, facing the same forced-choice question multiple times leads to changing their answer.
Thus we have to be careful to use it. It’s not perfect and fair to judge people.
