Haha, I remember when ZugAddict did this on stream. It's such a terrible quiz. It often gives you two bad answers, or an obviously correct one -- but will take anything for an answer. I wouldn't trust in its results too much, based on his ranting while he was doing it.
That's what I got: http://www.chesspersonality.com/type/technician
Ahh. Romantic. :\
it told me to take up another hobby!
Surgeon.
@Queue. lol. Are you serious!
#11 It's an interesting caveat, but I don't think it's necessary to evaluate someone's ability to choose a "right" or "wrong" move in a position to identify their personality. In fact, chosing the "wrong" move for certain reasons when just glancing at a position is highly indicative of certain types of traits (i.e. aggressive vs. solid for instance...or even intuitive vs. calculating). And chosing between 2 "bad" plans is less asking which is "right" as much as its asking "you've chosen this bad plan...what was the likely reason be that you chose it?"
This is a test of psychology, not accuracy. I think it seems fairly accurate. My result was just as accurate in describing my style of play as the Myers-Briggs is in describing my overall personality. I don't think it's fair to fault a test for flaws that may have been inserted intentionally.

For the record, I got Prodigy, and I am INTJ, and both make perfect sense....now if only I had 60 hours a week for a few years to study and practice chess so I could defeat Carlsen... xD
I'm not sure what I think of ths quiz tbh, but I got technician, which is actually very accurate.
