Much like those tests retailers would have potential employers take, to see what kind of employee they would be or if they were hireable. Not sure if they still use those tests, left that field ages ago.
I recall from sociology class that those tests tend to be rather accurate. Of course, most people lie when answering the questions. Myself included.
It’s the equivalent of those astrology experiment that sociology classes sometimes conduct, where students are given a phony horoscope telling them what a wonderful person they are. Unsurprisingly, a majority of the students agree with what the ‘horoscope’ tells them.
I think it’s also worth remembering that the test was devised by a woman with a degree in agriculture, and her daughter who studied political science. Not a psychologist to be seen.
