If people are self-selecting into groups then those groups must have meaning to the people that select into them, mustn't they?
People are responding to individual items, one item at a time, in an unvalidated test. Then they see a group characteristic description and the Forer effect (the fallacy of personal validation) leaves them convinced their answers to the unvalidated questions led to new information, which is the issue that still needs to be demonstrated by a validation study.

Except that, for instance, anything labelling me as F rather then T is clearly nonsense.
There are a couple that I could interpret as "somewhat like me" and several that are clearly not me at all.
