Or simply that several of the questions just didn't apply to me, or were impossible to answer in a constructive/honest way?

Or perhaps it is that even in serving your words back to you (in a slightly different form), there's potentially an endless array of combinations of (synonyms of) your words to choose from? And, so it takes some 'skill' to pick the right one and so, that is where you might be seeing the gap? And, of course, that ties in with tests not capturing the complexity of people etc.
Oh, and to the actual test -- I got Orphan at 100%, followed by Destroyer at 80% something. It kinda sorta fits the bill but then again, I think I could make a similar case for a goodish number of the other archetypes as well (a bit like most of my horoscope readings).
