So, I don't know what test(s) they may have come from. It's also possible that they're from one of the major tests, but an older version than the ones that I used.OK, what do these questions mean? It's all about statistics, NOTHING MORE (which makes them highly valid, statistically speaking). Take a large sample of "regular" people and a sample of "crazy" people. Ask them a bunch of test questions. The questions you keep are the ones that are best at distinguishing the two groups from each other. Most "regular" people answer this way, and "crazy" people answer that way. Put together enough of these questions, and you've got something pretty reliable. This is a simplification of the test construction process, but that's the core idea.Also, let me be clear that NO SINGLE QUESTION determines a profile. It's all about averages and numbers. If you answer enough questions in an abnormal way, guess what? You're probably not that normal.So, don't think that after you've taken such a test, the psychometrist (the test-giving guy) reads your answers and makes all these assumptions about your sex life, your childhood, your fantasies, or whatever. That's what the inkblot tests are all about <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
