I haven't studied psychology for a long time but last job I had used 'personality' tests too frequently, (at least once a year) The relevant questions were very obvious to me so I gave them false answers (just because I could) then told the people running the S***show later towards the end of whatever course we were being primed on. (Corporate America, must have loyalty to the company while they screw you over) Usual reply was 'You can't do that' My reply was always 'I just did' 🤣 If the company had used the same people every year it would have become obvious to them I had MAJOR personality disorder as the results varied so much, but, it took major downturn before I got laid off 12 years after starting there (along with several hundred other people)

I studied psychology for several years ( but only managed one year at degree level - it was quite difficult to study when working 12 or more hours a day) The EPI tests (Eysenck's Personality Inventory) was probably a better explanation as knowing about it (even though some of his results were 'falsified' ) made it quite easy to give the Myers -Briggs people whatever results you wanted them to have even though the tests have been 'refined' over several decades. Being in America means they refuse to use tests 'invented' by a German born Brit In a hundred + questions, generally, as few as 8 or 10 are actually relevant to the result I only ever attended one of Eysenck's lectures, a few years before he died when he was experimenting with the benefits of psychology on cancer patients, probably led to the 'I know I can' revolution in sports psychology? If you want to change your personality to be more extrovert, you can, but it isn't easy or short term job, you can learn and practice until it becomes 'normal'
