No, I haven't taken any tests yet but I will love to take them if they would help to aid the career I want.

I do love personality tests but haven't done anyone yet.

I had to take the Myers-Briggs test in my first semester of college. I don't know why. They didn't use it for class schedules, counsel us on our best options, or give us any other recommendations based on the results. It was interesting, though, to know that my chosen field was my highest "score" based on the results. I actually enjoyed the test since it confirmed my choices.

I have taken the Myers-Briggs test quite a few times and it changes every time you take one. The results are insightful but sometimes they kind of different from what you would expect them to be.

I have only read about the Myers-Briggs and the Ennegram tests. I hope to take these personality tests someday, though.

The Myers-Briggs test has long since been famous, but this is the first time seeing it in a book, I think its a wonderful addition.

I have taken the Myers-Briggs test. I found it to be really insightful. But, I never thought about theses tests as a way to choose my career.

I haven't taken the Myers-Briggs test but I'll probably take it soon

I believe personality tests are relative. One should not live one's life based solely on it. Though helpful most times, but it should be applied with caution.

In Counseling 101 in College I took the test, as most University students have done. I was surprised by the results. It would be insightful to take it again and compare my results, as I feel as if I have grown.

I took the test a few months back. It was a fun activity. But to be honest, I do believe that we humans are more a culmination of experiences and cannot be just type-cast into one specific variety based on a few questions. I also feel sometimes we answer them depending upon our current mood and environment, which may affect the results

I have taken the Myers-Briggs test. But I am not very confident of the results. In general I think that tests can be helpful but there are people who take the results as if they were unbreakable laws. In my opinion, they are just suggestions, to give us an idea of what we can do.

I'm a bit skeptical about these assessments. I just don't believe how some test can make me determine what I wanna do. But I also don't want to be close minded as they have helped several people. I might try taking one of them.

I have in fact taken the MBTI test and, although I see myself in my results to some extent, feel that for the most part these personality test present takers with a list of desirable traits that most people can connect with on some level. That’s not to say that they’re completely baseless, only that they remind me of grouping yourself into a Harry Potter house or zodiac sign. Yes, it’s fun, but I wouldn’t say it’s accurate.

These are tests like the Myers-Briggs test and others. I have taken the Myers-Briggs test, and found it to be interesting. Have you taken one or more tests like this, and if so, did you find them to be insightful?

I am looking forward to take the Myers-Briggs test. Another test I would like to take is the Enneagram test. I'm hopeful they would help me because I really need some help now.
