This is just as bad as a horoscope. Worthless.
Called "spookily accurate" and "hard to resist," the Pierley/Redford Dissociative Affect Diagnostic personality test "seems too vague to tell you anything accurate or interesting about your actual personality."
"Which of these circles is angry?” it asks (and provides two abstract and gauzy illustrations). Or “Which position is diseased?”
It's short, it's weird, I took it and this is what it said about me:
Verbally and mentally fluid, you are refreshing and illuminating to those around you. This is occasionally somewhat discounted by the obvious pleasure that you take in exercising your mental acuity. Although generally peaceful you can often take a verbally aggressive tact in relations with the world, which can often be misunderstood by those around you. Innovative in the extreme, you can often think yourself right out of the correct answer to a given problem. Many times you are referred to as your own worst enemy. You tire very quickly of routine and so make poor clerks or administrative help. You also have no respect for authority and little patience for those you regard as inferior, most especially those in charge. Experimentation is your watchword and can occasionally lead to experience for its own sake and shallow decadence. Your thought can sometimes be scattered and disconnected.
Take it and post your results here, because the world wishes to know, "Which circle was angry?" :awe:

Handy in the real world manipulation of objects and events, you are easily enthused by practical projects. You often ignore or conveniently forget rules and boundaries that limit your freedom. This need for freedom extends even to the personal sphere and though you are kind and gentle, you will often be hard to pin down to a monogamous lifestyle. Because you tend to verbalize so seldom, you can be seen as phlegmatic or impassive. In moments of high tension you can often surprise those around you with a lighthearted or humorous remark. Because of your facility with the physical world, you are often engaged in sports that require dexterity, such as motorcycling or hang gliding. You will rarely have time for flights of fancy or unproductive discussion. Constraints on your freedom will be regarded as a personal attack.
Mostly true.
Handy in the real world manipulation of your sexual object, you make it an event, and are easily enthused by small, shiny things like a discarded piece of tin foil. You often ignore or conveniently forget everything, which is why there should be physical boundaries that limit your freedom. This need for freedom extends even to the personal sphere, and is why you don't wear underwear. You will often be hard to pin down, which is why you should take up pro wrestling. A monogamous lifestyle with you would be brutally unfair to your partner. Because you tend to verbalize so seldom, you are rightly seen as brain damaged.. In moments of high tension you can often surprise those around you with a lighthearted squeal or a sulfurous fart, followed by a slack-jawed grin and drooling. Because of your facility with the physical world, you are often engaged in activities like filling in as a volunteer doorman at high-rise urban condominiums. Pursuits such as motorcycling or hang gliding, in which you might die, are a win-win for all, but especially for the named beneficiaries on your life insurance policy. You will rarely have time for flights of fancy or productive discussion, since your are still doggedly trying to figure out how to tie your shoes. Constraints on your freedom will be regarded as a necessary precaution.
Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.
Where did they come up with the questions...and why do the questions have no bearing on the visuals?
At 20 questions, probably so, but these types of tests which ask off the wall, even completely nonsensical questions, are carefully desgined to elictit responses from parts of the brain that would otherwise be filtered by either conscious processes, or parts of the brain which deal in logic. They are often disturbingly accurate. The MMPI is a famous test of this ilk, with a super high correlative to personality types accross all groups. In other words, these types tests are often on the money.
The fact that it's only 20 questions, though, makes it's results far less rigorous. The MMPI, which we took multiple times when I smoked dope for the US Gummint, has over 600 questions.

Vague enough to apply to anyone.
Standard astrology bullshit.
