This is the problem with pop psychology, you can't tell what's scientifically validated from mere opinion of a "specialist." Taken as a fun little game type thing, this quiz would be all right. But for some people, this is the only exposure to professional psychology they get.

Excellent points. I would guess that this test has not been validated. It probably belongs in Tilted Nonsense.
People like Dr. Phil give good psychologists a bad name. That being said, if you take the test for what it is, likely unreliable, unvalidated, and lacking good science, it doesn't do any harm.
