Here's one which I think is new for us.

Le gasp, a personality test that isn't using the same four-scale metric as everything else.

Spoiler: Fairly accurate, too. (click to show/hide)

You enjoy making plans and commitments but you sometimes don't follow through. You are curious about many different things and highly value artistic expressions and ingenious thoughts. You are calm and logical for the most part, but some things worry you more than others. You can be critical at times, but you are supportive to most people. You live a quiet life and are reserved in your actions and behaviors.

Of course it's also pretty short, so it's not difficult to guess.

Spoiler: Dislike confrontation? Pah! (click to show/hide)

You rarely make commitments to people or your environment because you prefer to keep your options open, even at the expense of achievement. You are curious about many different things and highly value artistic expressions and ingenious thoughts. You are calm and logical for the most part, but some things worry you more than others. You are typically respectful toward others and dislike confrontation. You are outgoing and sociable in most social situations.

You enjoy making plans and commitments but you sometimes don't follow through. You are curious about many different things and highly value artistic expressions and ingenious thoughts. You tend to be relaxed in most situations and can handle stress well. You are typically respectful toward others and dislike confrontation. You show some tendency toward being outgoing and sociable.

That's scarily accurate.

I have to do this at home.

Those guest psychologist's comments are kinda funny because "accurate" (in the palm-reading-gypsy-kind-of-way):

_{[My comments are within square brackets.]}

About that "Abstract" bubble... You are intellectually curious, imaginative, and literary. [*ahem*] I do believe the technical term is "artsy fartsy." [Guilty as charged...] When reading poetry, the images may move you until you quiver with delight, or perhaps quivering from all of the espresso that you've been drinking. [Yes, that is correct.] Speaking of caffeine, it would not be a big surprise if you indulged in other substances to heighten your senses. [You bet!] After all, whoever heard of creative geniuses who were sober? [Who indeed?] Freud was a coke-head, Hemingway was a fall-down drunk, and Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil, probably while high on wacky tabacky. [I think Johnson was more into coke, just like other bluesmen.] You have quite the active fantasy life and are often in la la land, earning you the well-deserved nickname "space cadet" from your loved ones. [How the fuck did you know!?] Mostly, you're a lot of fun to hang out with because you're always game for whatever idea your non-medicated (but should be) friend has in mind. [I have no friends, so that one doesn't count. But I'm definitely game for all sorts of things and I sometimes think I'd need a stronger medication.] The next time someone suggests that you streak naked in the dead of winter, do think twice, or at least wear some mittens.[Will do, thanks for the advice!]

About that "Introverted" bubble... Do you have difficulty remembering what your voice sounds like sometimes because you rarely ever use it? [I do remember that it sounds like a rusty hinge, but it's been quite a long time since...] Do you talk to people at parties, or are you too busy hiding in a corner? [What parties? Never been to one...] Has anyone ever filed a missing persons report on you just to find you days later in the basement playing your one millionth game of solitaire? [Change that to DF and you're right on the money.] If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be what psychologists call introverted. [Who'd have thought!] Introverted people can mostly be found among librarians, scientists, and any other professions where an individual would never have to interact with another human being, ever. [That is so true of all of those professions! Wait...]  In fact, the prospect of having to deal with people may give you hives. [Wanna see 'em?] What do you know, introverts, you may have a medical condition. [You don't need to rub it in my face!] You tend to be a hesitant person and have to mull things over for days, weeks, and even years before you act on whatever idea you have. [...I'll have to think about that.] If you wait too long though, opportunity might just slip away and you'll never know what could have been. [Nuuuuuuu....] On the bright side, introverts are typically geniuses, mad geniuses with crazy hair, but geniuses nonetheless. [HAHAHAHA ... no. Wrong on all counts.]

that description is

uh

You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.

You enjoy making plans and commitments but you sometimes don't follow through. You feel comfortable with routine, but you are also quite receptive to new experiences. You are calm and logical for the most part, but some things worry you more than others. You show some tendency toward competitiveness and are comfortable expressing your opinions. You live a quiet life and are reserved in your actions and behaviors.

This is pretty accurate, although a lot of it is fence-sitting.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, it's sort of laughable how cookie-cutter it is while still remaining accurate. That's the danger of low numbers of direct, broad-scope questions. Out of all the polls I've seen in this thread, this one is probably the easiest to get the answer you want.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Probably because it isn't a real test and is just giving you all statements that any person would agree with.

[Orange Wizard]

Your personality tendencies in a nutshell...

You are very dependable and almost always follow through with your commitments. You are curious about many different things and highly value artistic expressions and ingenious thoughts. You are calm and logical for the most part, but some things worry you more than others. You show some tendency toward competitiveness and are comfortable expressing your opinions. You show some tendency towards being reserved in most social situations.

No shit, I just spent five minutes telling you that. And somehow you made it even vaguer.

[Zrk2]

Sometimes, if you make it super-vague, then everyone agrees with you, and you get more ad revenue!

"You are a person. Sometimes you do things in social situations. There are activities you enjoy. If this describes you, click on all of the ads on this page to view products that may or may not suit your personality type."

[Zrk2]

Usually it's more "You usually [A], but you also sometimes [opposite of A].

Sorry, thats what came to mind reading that.

Useless test: "Are you a genius, yes/no? If you answered yes, you are a genius."

Useful test: "Are you a genius, yes/no? If you answered yes, you have a lower-than-average inclination towards honesty."
