Our personality may evolve over time, some. But largely by age 5, 6, 10, 11... we are who we are. Our behavior changes based on circumstances of the moment, yes... or social input over time, but it all distills down to either suppressing or liberating our truest self.
As the song goes, we all have wings, but some of us don't know why.
It's worth understanding ourselves and how things affect who we feel we are - and how aligned or misaligned that self-perception is with truth.

Then I must be unusual ... even my family says I have significantly different personalities in different situations and that who I am has significantly changed over time. Even people at work have pointed this out to me.
But I'll give you an example of how these generalized tests are lacking. Consider these three different situations:
-- I'm an engineer -- your emotional input and opinions are meaningless. Show me the data and shove your emotions up your <censored>
-- I'm a dad -- one of my young children gets hurt and wants/needs comfort; maybe even wants a Band-Aid for bump. It's all about emotions at that point ... there's no logic to be applied.
-- I'm a husband -- 50% of the time, must apply logic, 50% of the time, must apply emotion.
I know, it's all about where we get our "energy" from ... but when I read the questions on these test, I can honestly answer two ways depending on circumstances. Where I get my energy changes from day to day.
