I'm curious what bipolar individuals think of personality tests.

First off, I love taking personality tests. However, my personality varies so much, that I usually struggle to pick an answer.

For example, I go through periods where I am
Aggressive, hostile, uncaring, narcissistic, perfectionistic, retentive, dominant, and energetic.

And I go through periods where I am
Passive, hopeless, anti-social (borderline reclusive), empathetic, and disorganized

Each time I take one, I question which trait I should select since both often apply (but not at the same time).

I guess my neutral personality is somewhere in the middle, but even that can change. I have a feeling most of you can identify

Anyway, to my point:
I was wondeirng if any of you like personality tests, or if you find them difficult to take (like me).

Also, there is a very cool personality test at similarminds.com. It's free, informal, and pretty fun. I thought I'd post my results, and I was curious to read yours if any of you feel like taking it.

Here's the link:

Here's my results. If any of you are interested, you should post yours.

same here with the personality quizzes. i was taking one thats supposed to tell you what you're good at for a career at school, and It said to pick the one most like you, and it took me like an hour to decide on every one. lol

Just one of the many pleasures of being bipolar

*Dances around the room *

Love it!

(But I'll prolly hate it next week, so its all good )
