clairey fairy,

I think people should not worry too much about the personality tests... it is just that... a personality test. Everyone has a personality so that personality will somehow show in the test. The fact that during the test you thought:

'hmmm i like that, but i like that too, oh and i like that, ohh iv not told them i like doing that'
probably indicates that you were thinking too much about what people reading the results would think of you. Putting it bluntly, you should not worry about that at all. It has been said many times before, you just need to be honest and know yourself reasonably well (easier said than done).

I am not sure whether this can be of any use, but here is a little piece of advice: if you have doubts about a particular question because there is more than one answer that you would select and you are not sure which one "they" would prefer... just forget about "them"... think about your closest friend, your parents/brothers/sisters/partner, what would they say of you in that particular scenario? Guessing their answer would probably help you determine which answer is *more* right for you (their answer would be direct and honest without thinking about tests and the like). Having said that, I am not advising people to have their closest friend/relative sit the test and answer it on their behalf... that would not work .

One last point: I have to disagree with your idea that people better at english or creative subjects are more comfortable with personality tests. People are more or less comfortable there independent of their professional orientation.

Best of luck with your next attempt!
