I don't put a lot of weight into these things (thinking/judging) because I don't feel it's accurate (sensing/thinking/judging). It's none of your business anyway (thinking/introverted).

I don't like these. I seem to detect a slant to the questions, then begin answering them to get an expected result. I need to take one of these without knowing I am taking one to get an accurate answer for myself.

This brings up an interesting point about morality, conformity and perception. We do certain things for certain reasons and often it's to conform to a social norm or effect how we are perceived. I think they're fun but you bring up a very interesting point, and I like your last statement a lot. I'm off to sleep but will take this tomorrow.

It's called a social desirability bias and it has a relationship to another psychometric/experimental psychology problem called demand characteristics, which is when the participant or respondent attempts to figure out the investigator's hypotheses and then responds accordingly.

There are ways to get around it. Having good ecological validity (i.e., making the study approximate the "real world") helps. I remember I was a research assistant for this social psychology experiment years ago that investigated participants' decision-making with regard to a zero-sum situation with another person. The other person actually didn't exist, but the participants didn't know that until debriefing. There was a rather sizable social force to not appear selfish. We had to go through a lot of smoke and mirrors to make participants feel like they didn't have any social pressure on them and to make whatever decision they specifically wanted. It worked, and a lot of people chose the more "selfish" decision in the study. Just about every person was legitimately surprised during debriefing.

This interests me greatly. Do you know where I can review the experiment?
