      It is trying to see if you fit into one category, rather than which category.

      It's flawed because it's crystal clear in most cases how to answer to get a high score, if you want one.

                                  Well of *course* it is, we're all bright enough people here. The point as ever is to answer as honestly as you know how.

                                        Well I guess so but then you'd surely be a fool to do so or not care about the results which would bring up the point why bother taking the test in the first place. I trust if people care enough to try it that they answer as objectively and honestly as they know how. In the end it probably reveals nothing but it's interesting to see that so far most of us skew far to one side.
