This test is stupid and I'll tell you why...with 4 yes/no questions we have a maximum number of different personalities of 4^2 or 16...

Its pretty easy to see that with only 16 possible personality types out there this test is pretty poorly thought through and a good example of why this sort of test is garbage when taken to an extreme (and only 4 questions is such an extreme)...

Even if you were to limit the number of possible personality types to 16 you would still have to reconsile the statistical error induced by having only one question per criteria...this is another case of people attempting to use crisp logic where fuzzy logic would clearly be a more accurate model of the system at hand...

Larger more useful versions of this sort of test are still not all that useful unless you interpret them properly, which is to say they are a tool to give you a simple insite but not a solid carved in stone representation of who a person is...
