: I know that the RHETI asks too many general questions, and a simple introvert question might give you a point for 4, when you are clearly a 5. My pattern looks like that...4, 5, 9, 6, 1, 3, 7, 2, 8.
: By the way, what programming language do you use? I used to have VB 3.0...a pirated version :) and now I have C++ 6.0 but I'm too lazy to learn it.

___Not the RHETI as it appears on this site (the condensed form) but the original 144 questions. So you think the pattern I mentioned is from the overall vagueness of the questions? Hmm... I don't know. I have a friend whom I recognized to be a 5 (an introverted 5 as well) and he indeed tested to be a 5. I would say that the test is pretty accurate in hitting a person's main number. As for the other numbers, however, I think this is an area that people don't go into enough. Some like to argue and say, "You are not a 6 because a 6 acts this way" or "You are obviously a 3 because you said this", but I think that the arrangement of the other lower numbers has a big effect on how a person thinks and responds to other people.
___P.S. I programmed the test many years ago in qbasic, but in my job I often program in c++ and java. Yes, c++ is tough to learn but it is worth it if you like to "bring life" into inanimate little words and numbers.
