Bigfive Personality Test (bigfive-test.com)

Just wanted to highlight this project because I've had to take many personality tests for school and work and things, and this is the most accurate one I've seen, and the only one where I feel I'm actually learning about myself from the results.

So if you need a personality test for any reason this one's pretty good.

I thought that these personality tests had been debunked?

We had the myers briggs test back in the day, and I've heard on couple podcasts that these tests (including MB) are highly questionable.

As it happens, the latest maintenance phase podacst is about the MB test:

Not listened yet, but will.

They are, yes. Which you can figure out if you think about it for a minute

MB is bullshit, the big five is the one mostly used by researchers. Altho as it is psychology, you shouldnt expect 100% on validity or other indicators

The big five is pretty much the only version of this that's actually sort of kind of almost a real thing. Nobody likes being told they have high neuroticism though, so it's not ever a fun fad meme thing.
