(Real) personality tests are meant to aid in self discovery, not tell you how to act. While we may 'all' be complicated and a lot of things, it's not hard to deny that humans can still be broken down loosely into types of people with tendencies. Since learning my type i have gained a better understanding of myself, less worry over who i am and why, among other things. Perhaps the problem isn't in the test, but in how you Choose to approach the test. Tests reveal what exists. Perhaps the real issue is that you don't want yourself so easily revealed.
Humanity craves the balance between being unique and fitting in (though few will admit it, how ironic) and helping to learn more about yourself actually helps to serve that purpose to a great good. Anyone who takes a test and tries to behave within the results, well, the outcome is the fault of the taker, not the test.

There are probably two main reasons why I feel weird about personality tests. The first is the one in bold. The second is because of how I have seen others use those 'letters'. I tend to see people slap them on to people's foreheads, and that it is some leading factor in determining the quality of that person or 'how good enough' they are for 'my set of letters'. Maybe I was seeing it wrong, maybe people were just genuinely trying to understand the people they have in their lives.
I guess I'm scared of showing my letters, or my deck of cards if you will, and someone instantly shutting me out because of them.
