A.
The short answer is no because the test has been calibrated for accuracy by our Chief Scientific Advisor Dr. Helen Fisher.
Although we are unique individuals, people do seem to fall into broad general categories, types that even Plato and Aristotle recorded some 2,500 years ago. Dr. Fisher has named these four personality types as the Explorer, Builder, Negotiator and Director.
The questions on the test are designed to establish some of the basics of your brain and body chemical composition; which scientists now believe are associated with specific aspects of temperament and personality. We are all a vast mix of all of these chemical components, however, your responses help us measure to what extent your personality aligns with one of these four personality types.
