If that's the case, then it defeats the entire purpose of the test. It's not a personality test anymore, it's a self-image test. The idea of a personality test is to dig below your self-image to get a picture of what your 'innate personality' is. Whether they're successful at doing this is another story, but that's the idea.
I don't think there's such a thing as an "innate personality" - I'm a very different person than I was 10 years ago, and having just taken the test right now, the results are also likewise different (INTJ -> ESTJ if anyone's interested).
IMHO your personality is not something set in stone - it's a rather slow-changing beast surely, but I think it's a fallacy to believe that it's somehow cemented by some age.
