Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive Re: Is it possible to create an accurate personality test?Posted by Mikko on September 02, 2000 at 15:20:52: In Reply to: Is it possible to create an accurate personality test? posted by Aristotle on September 01, 2000 at 06:51:35: : I have never been satisfied with these personality tests, the questions are too inspecific or they're not capable of compensating for the enormous complexity that exists in each type. : However logically that which can be divided can be classified - accurately. Indeed people well versed with the Ennegram can often easily determine a person's personality. Admittedly the personality types are all in a sense inseperable as they all exist as potentials in everyone. Yet why can't the same processes used by people be integrated into a test that works reliably? That's because we are humans, not machines. Not everything can be measured by a meter, no matter what engineers would insist. : What ideas do people have on the theory of testing for types? Can it be done? How? Open-ended questions and someone with lots of experience in analysing people administrating the test is the best way to go.
