This was a fun book to use to gain insight into your own personality and to share with your friends.

Someone borrowed my copy, I wish I'd get it back. :(

Hmm, never really sure if these tests actually help. But I can tell you by the end, you will know yourself better, be tired of doing the tests, and be ticked off enough that you wasted all that time finding out things you actually all ready knew that you go out and get a job. Maybe even a job that the book said you wouldn't like doing just to spite the book.

Subtitled "25 Love, Sex, Intelligence, Career and Personality Tests; Developed by Professionals to Reveal the Real You." I found the quizzes in this book to be more interesting than in the Career Tests book by the same author. However, it's still a pain in the rear to score them by hand, and I think I'd recommend putting "self-assessment tests" into Google, and following some links to do similar tests online. Much less time consuming. Also, so many of these tests are really pretty worthless, because they're based on the biases of the test-writers, and sometimes it's obvious that these biases are in direct conflict with my own feelings about certain issues. So, this was all right, but I wouldn't really recommend it.… (altro)

Disappointing. I bought this book a while ago, thinking it might give me some insight about what sort of career I want to pursue, once I get around to pursuing something beyond what I'm doing right now. This book wasn't really very helpful with that. It's mostly personality tests, not aptitude or interest tests. And, really, I learned very little that was surprising, or something of which I wasn't already well aware. Also, I really disliked scoring the majority of the tests. Lots of flipping pages back and forth to see the answer key, and also, most of them had some answers which were "reverse scored," meaning you had to switch your answer to the opposite meaning (for example, on tests with scores from 1 to 5, changing 4s to 2s). What a complete pain in the butt, and completely unnecessary, IMO. I'm guessing the test-writers did this to try and "fool" people into being uncertain which answers would lead to which results, but really, most of the time that was easy to figure out just from the questions themselves. Plus, there were several that were scoring several different things in one test, and you had to go through and pick and choose question numbers to add up . . . oh, no sense moaning about it excessively, but I did find it very tedious, so much so that I'd not recommend this book. It's also geared toward college students, which made it less-than-relevant at times (but I don't consider that a criticism; it's not the author's fault I'm not a member of his chosen target audience). It's the awful scoring that ruined it for me.… (altro)
