online personality test

You're so wise, personality test. Like an online Buddha covered with ads for online dating services. If you don't get the reference to Anchorman, go watch that movie now.
Seriously, though, most anyone who's ever been bored has taken at least a few multiple choice personality tests online. The most common ones have titles like "Which Harry Potter character are you?", "Which celebrity is your dream girl?" and "What kind of camera are you?" To be honest, I rarely understand how those tests work or what their results are supposed to mean. That last test told me I was a Polaroid camera because I'm "done in 60 seconds and they'll still want it enlarged." I don't get it.
Some tests, however, pretend to be legitimate and might make you believe their results are valid and meaningful. Perhaps the most common type of test you'll find attempting this are spin-offs of the Myers-Briggs test (which will be referred to from here on out as the Bristol-Squibb test). This test breaks your personality up into four categories and then assigns one of two possible traits for each category. The next paragraphs will explain what that means in objective and unbiased terms.
