1) What are some of the reasons that personality tests are flawed?

There are some design flaws in personality tests.

First and foremost, the tests are self-evaluated so these can't guarantee the truth of the answers. Secondly, it excludes ambiverts by forcing people to choose only one answer. Also, the popularized terms introvert and extrovert has changed over the course of the era. Lastly, it's controversial whether personality is stable and measurable feature of an individual.

2) What harm can using personality tests for students and employees cause? Why do you think schools and companies continue to use them?

It can deprive people of opportunities they'd excel at, or discourages them from considering certain paths. I think that schools and companies continue to use them to get as much information as possible they can.

3) Has your personality changed during your life? If it has, what do you think was the cause behind this shift? If it hasn’t, do you think your personality will remain the same your entire life?

I think that my personality has changed during my life. Honestly, I can be either introvert or extrovert depending on the situation around me. I don't believe that personality is born. It can be carved by environments around people and their efforts.

4) Why do you think personality tests are so popular? Are there any benefits to using these tests?

The first reason of their popularity is due to curiosity. The more we want to find who we are, the more tools we develop and test. Even though, these personal tests are not reliable, I think that it was a good trial because we were able to know that these tools didn't work at least.

5) Have you taken any of the personality tests mentioned in the clip? Did you think they were accurate? Do you agree with the video's criticisms of them?

I've taken MBTI and Enneagram even though I don't remember the results that I got in the past.

I agree with the criticisms in the video. Moreover, I think that people are animals to adapt to their environments, which means their personalities can change during their entire lives.

What are some things you can learn from taking a test like this? Are there other ways to learn about someone's personality?

It was useful in that I could check who has the similar personality like me. I think that these 16 types of categories help us to get to know more about differences between people.

The most accurate way when it comes to learning about someone's personality is to spend time together for a long time. The fastest and effective ways are to take tests such as MBTI and Enneagram together, and talk to each other about the results.
