December 5, 2008, 9:55 pm - Lex Actually, according to the results, I failed this test. However, what makes this even more interesting to me is that I've been very accurate with a great many people. From people I've done business with, to friends, family and acquaintances. In fact, I've been complimented on my observational skills of reading people. From Body language, to posturing, etc. So, I don't know that this test is accurate to a detail.

Kidding...it's a fun quiz, obviously it won't be 100% accurate all the time, these tests are indicators, just like the personality tests can't replace a doctor's diagnosis.
