Just read the description, this thing is very accurate (for me, at least).
Even MBTI takes quite some liberty with Jung's theory. But you're correct, this particular test is completely awful. If you are really interested in Jungian typology I recommend doing your own research until you feel more confident in typing yourself. Most internet tests are going to be very inaccurate. Your type does not change so if you are getting different results that's the first big sign something is wrong. Questions in these tests are often very leading - for example, they often have things such as 'I try to act logically' as in indicator for a 'Thinking' type. Well who is going to say they act illogically? Not to mention if you understand the Thinking/Feeling axis you'd realise it has nothing to do with being logical. People also come with preconceptions that the test is ill equipped to deal with - for example, men may be predisposed to answer a certain way, due to societal expectations of how a man should think and act. You get the idea.Railey2 wrote:

First off, this is not MBTI. It's not. It's "our theory".

The description makes me wonder if the people who designed this actually understood Jungs original theories, which they supposedly took as foundation, and mixed them up with a mockery of one of the Big5-factors (neuroticism).
They also seem to exploit the Barnum-effect to lure people into buying a premium version, very much like a a variety of other psychological scams. (I mean.. look at this: https://www.16personalities.com/premium-profiles)
If you look at the type-descriptions, you have to wonder if this is an actual scientific evaluation of someones personality, or just an online-tool for ego-stroking.
In short: Don't take this test seriously. Don't post "your" results online or identify with them. If you want to know your personality, try lots of introspection and self-honesty, or take a real test. Not this one. Without delving in too deep (I did read most of the website), this seems to be a real clusterfuck , a mixture of half-applied and altered original theories. Their scales are inconsistent, they use psychological trickery to scam people into buying their product without fulfilling any sort of scientific standard.
Don't support this please.
What you mentioned is called "cultural bias", pretty much the most common type of test bias. In most cultures, answering in a way that implies the subjects affiliation with illogical thought processes would lead to the subject feeling bad, thus the subjects unconsciousness will seek to avoid answering in ways that imply the aforementioned. Questions that should be open and neutral suddenly have a right and a wrong answer - cultural bias, a form of test bias.sottovoce wrote:
