Thought that was interesting.
I think the major flaw with the test (and especially in the case of some version of a test that's taken on some random site; but I'm just talking in general) is it suggests that a person can actually be defined to fit squarely within the parameters of one of only sixteen personality classifications; and that from that defining and classifying we're supposed to be left with information that tells us who we actually are, or who someone else actually is.
While I did find the results from my test to be interesting, I didn't think that it was spot on. I'm sure that's the case for others as well, which I think just helps to demonstrate that the test and others like it are at least a bit akin to a parlor trick, and any useful information to be derived from the results should probably be taken with a grain of salt.
