Yeah, this was not a good quiz.
None of them are. Personality profiles are inherently flawed because people have an innate tendency to want to make themselves look good. Not to say that respondents are actively lying on the questions, but the subconscious temptation to answer in a way that reflects them well isn't easy to overcome.
This isn't a criticism of the AFers (or anyone else) who took this quiz, btw. In fact, it is probably healthy to want to come off as agreeable, open, etc. It is a criticism of quizzes.
