In an episode of The Black Goat Podcast, personality psychologist Simine Vazire suggested that we like personality tests because we hope that they will reveal previously unknown information about ourselves — so self-discovery is still a massive element of this.
I personally got hooked on learning about different personality types to gain a better understanding of myself and also my friends and family and learn how we could all best interact again, blaming my strong Virgo traits.
The Outlook software on my Samsung S7 Edge smartphone started accepting new emails from my Hotmail account a couple of days ago. Two other accounts kept working normally. Some attempts via ‘contact help’ to fix the problem did not work, and actually made the problem worse because all my old emails along with my calendar vanished. This issue was only with the mobile app; on my PC or through a phone browser, emails and calendar were perfect. I deleted and reinstalled the program, but all I see now is “Download your messages” This could take a couple of moments … But over 24 hours have passed! …
I could undoubtedly guarantee that is the Virgo in me; however, I will be straightforward; I do cherish a decent character type test.
I accept that originates from this thought that I need to comprehend my character and hack myself into improving personally. Much the same as I would check my introduction to the world outline, character testa give me the thought of who I am and a portion of my remarkable qualities.

There are many ways to measure personality, but psychologists have mostly given up on trying to divide humanity neatly into types. Instead, they focus on personality traits.
The most widely accepted of these traits are the Big Five:
Openness
Conscientiousness
Extraversion
Agreeableness
Neuroticism
Conveniently, you can remember these traits with the handy OCEAN mnemonic (or, if you prefer, CANOE works, too).
