Hey Jenny, thanks for taking the test... :)
Normally I'd say the RHETI is the more accurate test, but in this case the question seems to be whether your highest score is 5 or 2. Given that you're female (I assume), the 5 score is probably more indicative. I say this only because the RHETI asks questions that are skewed towards the stereotypical 'female' personality; the short version is deficient in other ways but, perhaps owing to its brevity, it allows less room for people to fall into stereotypes. 5 females especially are under-represented on the RHETI.
Of course, no test is a substitute for reading the books and the descriptions themselves and then deciding on what you are. But anyhow, it's a thought. Actually, with the exception of the 5/2 issue, the scores for both tests seem to be remarkably consistent. :)
: Here were my results:
: Long test: Short Test:
: Type 1: 17 points Type 1: 5 points
: Type 2: 22 points Type 2: -2 points
: Type 3: 13 points Type 3: 0 points
: Type 4: 21 points Type 4: 3 points
: Type 5: 19 points Type 5: 8 points
: Type 6: 13 points Type 6: -3 points
: Type 7: 11 points Type 7: -6 points
: Type 8: 16 points Type 8: 1 points
: Type 9: 12 points Type 9: -6 points
: Notice a disparity? I answered all questions carefully for both the long and short.
