Assessment is part art and part science. You will be taking a lot of tests. Just get a feel for all of them. Answer honestly. On some tests you will note you have biases and tendencies to answer in a more socially desireable way then is actually the case. Other questions ask something and even though you may answer in a particular way you may not share the motives that the test's author assumed you had. How do you think this impacts reliability? Yes these tests are fun and informative but it is more important that you begin to gain insight and some perspective into the testing process.
