gollark: I doubt an actually-accurate one would happen to conveniently contain such round numbers.

gollark: I mean, we already have the dubiously good MBTI things, OCEAN/the "big five", those "dark triad" ones, etc.
gollark: Does this have more value than the 1297189741894 other personality test things?
