It is not possible to totally predict anyone's behaviour no matter how sophisticated a test is or how educated person who designed it was.

While pre-employment personality quiz is designed to match candidates with job vacancies and predict likelyhood of that candidate thriving in that particular business' culture, there are also other types of personality quiz that are used for other purposes.

Closely aligned to pre-employment personality quiz is promotion candidate personality quiz. A quiz of this type is designed to match personality of an existing employee, who is being considered for promotion, to type pf personality that is needed to survive in position for which there is a vacancy.

A relationship personality quiz is designed to test compatibility factors between two people. It measures those traits that have been determined to promote a long term relationship.

There is also a type pf personality quiz that measures a person's sanity. It is typically used by legal system to determine if someone is "legally insane" and can be held accountable for their actions in a court of law.

And then there is personality quiz that is designed for entertainment purposes only. These are typically found in magazines and are developed by writers for sole purpose of amusing their readership if not for simply filling pages.

You shouldn't put too much weight on your scores for this type of personality quiz. The questions are rarely scientific and there is no sense getting your panties in a wad over something that has no real merit.

As far as "scientific" personality quiz is concerned, none of them are 100% accurate and a skilled quiz taker, or a pathological lier, can skew a personality quiz to meed their own purposes. Like anything else that can't be seen, touched, or smelled, take these personality quiz results with a grain of salt.

When looking for a career quiz take a good look at type of questions that are being asked. Remember what I said about author's bias earlier? You want to find a career quiz that asks "horizontal" questions rather than "vertical" ones. For example, a horizontal question might be: "Do you enjoy working against deadlines?", while I vertical question might be "do you prefer precision of hand tools versus speed of power tools?".

Horizontal career quiz questions are designed to explore general career likes and dislikes while "vertical" questions tends to try and shoehorn you into a particular career path. Now don't get me wrong, there is a place for a vertical career quiz. For example, if you are thinking about a career in woodworking, and you are trying to decide if you want to be a cabinet maker or a house framer, a vertical career quiz is exactly what you need.

The important thing to remember is to never make a career decision based solely upon results of some career quiz that you happen to come across. If quiz gets you to thinking that you might enjoy some particular career, then research that option more fully. A career quiz is simply another tool to help you navigate pathways of life. Good luck!
