That's where it's most helpful, but they can be overstated in their usefulness (I pull my hair out in some of those questions, too!). But, I don't see this exam as learning anything about myself! It was an exercise in futility that seems to make everyone say, 'This isn't helpful, and it doesn't seem right.' I guess it come down to simply not understanding what McKnight was trying to get at.

I came out as moderate but I am not sure that was necessarily the right answer I too found that there was not an answer I really wanted to give to some of the questions – I have found this in other areas such as profiling exercises like Myers Briggs and Belbin.

I normally respect Scot McKnight (who authored it), but I think he overstated it. Of course, this may be the problem with putting these types of labels on folk! It was a strange quiz.
