and yet, i keep taking them. Every time they are linked. why is that? when i know this is the case: that people think they are accurate because, as per the Forer effect,

they think the test is valid and the description has been specifically tailored just for them;
they trust the person or computer administering the test; and
the results are mostly positive.

but they are always so flattering. none of it is ever liz, sometimes you can be really hard to get along with or you just don't like people, do you? or you know, you can be such a freaking snob. even the ones that guess on which personality disorders you have. People with narcicisstic personality disorder are often ambitious and know themselves to be capable or Agoraphobics are usually very well-read or People who suffer from panic attacks are excellent planners and like to think things through really, really thoroughly. i don't know. i get bitchy when people start categorizing each other.
