Keirsey Temperament Sorter II
This test is just plain stupid. It’s totally simplistic. Not everything in life is a dichotomy. Most things aren’t. Here are just a few questions (out of 70) and the answer choices they give.
22. Does interacting with strangers:
tax your reserves
energize you
Emeth’s Answer: Depends on the strangers.
31. In hard circumstances, are you sometimes:
too unsympathetic
too sympathetic
Emeth’s Answer: What kind of hard circumstances?
33. Is it better to be:
just
merciful
Emeth’s Answer: Not better to be either. Must be both.
37. Do you tend to choose:
rather carefully
somewhat impulsively
Emeth’s Answer: Depends on what I’m choosing. I can be the most picky person I know for some things. For example, computers, web hosts, schedule books. But when it comes to books, or ice cream, or aromatherapy, I’m impulsive.
40. Children often do not:
exercise their fantasy enough
make themselves useful enough
Emeth’s Answer: Why do I have to choose one? I’m with kids every single day. Lacking in imagination and being generally useless are very common characteristics in children.
42. Are you more interested in:
what is possible

somewhat annoying
rather fascinating
Emeth’s Answer: WHICH VISIONARIES OR THEORISTS??!! Some are fascinating, some are annoying, some are both, some are neither.
