I took it too, the answer came out correctly for me as well. Did you notice how many times they asked the same questions with slightly different wording? I am of the opinion that when a test or quiz to determine a personality trait or traits is created with many repeat questions, it creates a more accurate final analysis. What do you think?
I'll have to run that by my psychologist friends, who ought to know something about that.
I'd like to point out that, though it came out with the right thing dominant, you and I both had very significantly high scores in other areas. If we'd answered one or two questions differently, as I know I was tempted to do, the answer might have come out as one of the others. Also, many of the questions do not now nor have they ever really applied to my life. What kind of date do I like? The last time I dated someone other than my husband, I was sixteen! How am I supposed to know? Our relationship doesn't lend itself to some of the generalities there. For example, my idea of a good night in involves four or so friends coming over to play roleplaying games. I didn't see anything close to that on that list. I'm not the life of the party at more "normal" parties - but I can be for a roleplaying session if I really get into it.
My point is, I don't take these kinds of tests seriously. It may say 66% for the thing I actually am, but when the total adds up to about 500%, that's not really all that good.
It's not supposed to total 100%. It's saying what percentage of the traits of that sign you have, not what percentage of you fits the traits of that sign. *S*
