    these kinds of tests concern me because when i was a kid i had to get therapy to learn empathy because i had a borderline sociopathic disorder

    and the good news is that therapy works and empathy is something that can be learned especially if you are young because it worked for me

    but im always super freaked out because i do still have adhd and im worried whenever some workplace pushes a test like this it’ll expose me to my workplace as a sociopath who doesnt work well with others and that will come back to bite me

    and additionally every question on a test like that gives me an existential crisis and a crisis of identity because my mind sometimes struggles with over analyzing what i feel and what ive worked so hard to instill in myself which is part of the therapy so its like an internal struggle session for the whole thing super fucking stressful and has me second guessing my every answer

      These kinds of tests are usually similar to astrology in the sense that there are no bad results, every personality type has like strenghts and weaknesses like you’re a fucking pokemon. It’s horribly unscientific it’s just meant to sound nice to managers don’t worry.
