This was interesting, but anything based on self examination and self reporting is unfortunately open to massive issues or people just flat out lying.
Oh yeah, survey in general is pretty lossy, but I liked that one because it was at least based on something and free. 16 personalities has some nice descriptions for Myers Briggs.
I could probably write a book on organizational measurement and behavioral stuff, but the tldr is to commit to open and honest discussion and change of workflows after one of these or it's a waste of time.

Seems about right, pretty middle of the road if a bit introverted.

Self report is surprisingly reliable at times. The Myers-Briggs has specifically been run through the ringer 8 million times and shown to be very reliable. It is definitely accurately measuring something. It absolutely is not personality in any meaningful way as has been demonstrated in tons of studies. I find your assessment to be pretty much spot on. The results are kinda dumb in a vacuum for all of these tests in my personal and professional opinion. If they spark a conversation that helps people understand each others work habits better then that is super awesome and makes it all worthwhile.
Maybe the quiz is ok but the analysis is weird. One of the categories said that maybe it means i'm a conservative authoritarian... or not, because who can tell how individual people react to these aspects?
So you're saying that it doesn't actually show anything, cool thanks.

Ozzy, Dio or Martin Sabbath?
David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar or Cherone Van Halen?
Halford or Owens Judas Priest?
There are wrong answers.

I need to listen to more black sabbath.
Hot for teacher seems really inappropriate now but damn if that video wasn't mastur teenager bait.
Halford, but we could always do more office research.

It's also a Van Halen song, not Black Sabbath :P
Well, what's your favorite Black Sabbath song by David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar or Gary Cherone?

I know two Whitesnake songs and I'm honestly a little bit shocked that neither Here I Go Again or Is This Love is their highest charting song in the US.

Here I Go Again was their only #1 and Is This Love was their only #2. Are you looking at the Mainstream Rock charting instead of their Hot 100 charting?

One of the rules I have is whomever is doing high dollar picks the music {the other support plays his playlist which is basically that 90's serious acoustic genre} SO most of the time it's classic 70's and 80's rock with a random 2000's song
But I learned that Nightranger and other bands had more than one hit from this.
Some of the grey area rules I don't care about you using ear plugs as long as you have it in one ear and don't ruin it for everyone. The same goes for phone use don't overuse it or get caught.
The Ugly because of how nasty Friday and how my manager low balled me I had to stay after. SO while getting chewed out I pointed out how he puts the D list people on the double trucks and the half shift. I was told to write up the people not pulling their weight. I said why that doesn't help the situation. G is basically a one trick pony. He can do Coffee and not much else. I only ended up with him because he was meh on overnights. I was asked who else or a break down of why I rank people S A B C D. I was told because we are getting the scanning drone next month next week or within two weeks later we are getting people from the day shift. I asked can I get T? You would have to fight C for him[ fine by me {C has pissed off various members of my crew off for stupid reasons}
But I am going to print all the TMATS for the week and show my manager why stacking the D list people on double trucks is bad sighting the last two weeks

Which feels pretty right for me, except for openness for experience it pinged me low on "intellectual curiosity" and it's like, lol you clearly don't know me quiz.
Edit: Reading more closely the conclusions it comes to from these results are dumb as shit though. It thinks I am a "highly religious, politically conservative, theater kid" Three strikes and you are out buddy.

Tomorrow is a US Federal Holiday so I should be off. Instead work is having a big party thing. Its kind of cool, but if you don't want to go you have to use PTO or just not get paid. Its only 5 hours and you get paid for 8 if you do go. They also give out bonus checks (I don't get one because I started 2.5 weeks after the cut off), and they feed us and theres games and cash prizes, but man I could be at home in bed.

Has anyone tried using Cliftonstengths/Strengthsfinder? Got recommended it by some other people I work with. But is seems a lot like Meyers Briggs and other personality tests and those have come under some scrutiny lately as to their efficacy
We did it at work recently. I found it more useful than Myers-Briggs or True Colors, which are the other personality tests I've taken. It seems geared specifically toward how you approach work, rather than trying to capture your personality in all facets of your life, which makes it read a lot less like a horoscope. It's harder to read someone else's strength that you scored low on and think "yeah, I could see that in me." If other people at work are recommending it to you, it can be a valuable shorthand for quickly communicating how various members of a team are likely to tackle the topic at hand, and who might be best suited for various tasks.
...
Yeah, BBY HQ used to be super all about StrengthsFinder a few years ago. Some departments really took it to heart, though the department I started with basically said “take this quiz and put your results in your email signature. The end.”
The most recent thing that has been going around here has been Enneagram; a 9-pointed Star where certain points link to others. Where Strengths Finder felt more “here’s what you are” Enneagram feels more “here’s what you actually are, and here’s what people think you are.”
But to highlight a point in Jedoc’s post: sharing with coworkers and actually thinking about how to use their strengths is a big part that can easily get skipped, to everybody’s detriment. People can tend to focus on the personality test, and not enough thought is put into the “Send the Woo to meet the new client” part.
That wasn't just at BBY HQ. My wife did it while in store years ago and I think she was working mobile, then again in a leadership acceleration program. I did it just for fun after the company dropped it, I think I still have my results in my signature on the geek squad forums.

Oh and I was also veering strongly towards depression because of course I would be.
So you're saying that it doesn't actually show anything, cool thanks.
Ozzy, Dio or Martin Sabbath?
David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar or Cherone Van Halen?
Halford or Owens Judas Priest?
There are wrong answers.
that's easy
Dio
Lee Roth
I would rather die than listen to Judas Priest
Uhhh...I know one of the names on this list. By which I mean I know at least one song done by them, not just that I recognize the name.
It's Ozzy. And Crazy Train.
Hot for teacher seems really inappropriate now but damn if that video wasn't mastur teenager bait.
Halford, but we could always do more office research.

Honourable mentions to Black Sabbath and Into the Void
They made some really great stuff
It's also a Van Halen song, not Black Sabbath :P
I have never heard of any of them except for Dio and also only in name
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
Did you flip out and try to wreck the entire bar testing center?
...and Halford was not a member of Black Sabbath.
Royce was replying line by line, like the question was framed!
Well, what's your favorite Black Sabbath song by David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar or Gary Cherone?
Whitesnake, Winger or L.A. Guns?
Kiss.
Kakodaimonos was right, there are wrong answers.

Here I Go Again was their only #1 and Is This Love was their only #2. Are you looking at the Mainstream Rock charting instead of their Hot 100 charting?

Alright, a little bit of life is right again.
But I learned that Nightranger and other bands had more than one hit from this.
