    Maybe a little connection with personality, since my character choice is from FFXI, Taru's having stat bonus for magic and healer making it easier finding groups. Just decided to carry it over to FFXIV

    Im unable to answer most personality tests, due to the vague and broad concepts in the questions.

    I dont have one of the questions on hand, but for arguments sake, here's my own example;
    Such as "Is it wrong to steal?"
    Which of course is dependent on various factors, and you're usually asked to answer on a a scale of 1-6 "yes" or "no".

    Lastly, everyone has an "ideal self" they aspire to be, and then there is the part of everyone they end up being, due to emotional circumstances, etc.
    So a person may answer questions as the ideal self, or their actual self, or a combination of both, and get different answers.

    If you don't have the resources that's cool. But using an inaccurate test that doesn't provide valid results isn't research.
    All you're doing is making up a fake horoscope. Which is cool. But not research.

    The reason people find that it "feels accurate" is because it's a biased test that produces the results you expect to get from the answers you choose.
    Essentially it's a scam with no scientific basis, designed to trick you into thinking that you are getting accurate insights.

    And there are plenty of free personality-ish tests that have some basis in science.
    For example the VIA survey of Character Strengths (free to take here: https://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/testcenter)
    Or the Big 5 personality test (free to take a version of it here: https://www.123test.com/personality-test/)

    In fact if you look at the explanation of the test you are using, they mention they tried to bring their old outdated model closer to the big-5 model (which has significantly more scientific backing).

    It's great that you want to do research. But if you want it to be meaningful in any way you should put an effort into separating science from fiction.

    If you truly know yourself and honest, it isn't an issue. I always get the same results, just the degree may be slightly different.
    For example :

    I think the lowest I got for extrovert, ever was low 70%'s, so I suspect if someone is really being honest with themselves, they only flip actually personalities if they are on the border on something, like say a split of 45/55 or smaller.

    They are not vague exactly, the "rankings" are just for how strongly you go one way or the other, for example if you feel "stealing" is ok in 20% in cases you pick the second to last that it is "not ok"
