Dave, that was certainly an interesting exercise. I did, in fact, figure something didn't jibe right and duly commented in the input box "This personality description would fit nearly ANYBODY."
My major complaint with this FPT is that, despite its disclaimer that the FPT "is not an attack on Personality Tests [because] there are personality tests which are truly validated," the viewer is not left with that impression. Some personality tests do provide useful indicators. I think the FPT author's point would have been stronger had s/he used an actual astrological horoscope 'test' or another stupid flim-flam 'test' instead which, nevertheless, produced "accurate readings."

I thought something was odd, when my cursor rested briefly on the "Describe my personality" button and it pulled up the inline ALT tag: it is rather blandly self-labeled as "describe.gif (1236 bytes)". So the HTML is a bit sloppy. But how did you know it was a hyperlinked IMG tag, codeman... Do you normally surf pages in source code? :-)
