I've got a question for those people who have read it:

I have often find tests which are supposed to tell me about myself to be self-confirming. That is, when I'm in an organized/organizing mood, I'll get a result that says I'm organized. If I've recently told myself (or heard) that I'm a smart person, I score better on tests requiring intelligence. Basically, this all has to do with the committment and consistancy tendancy of humans.

Is this test self-confirming like that?

I'll read the book to find out specifically, but I'd love to hear any thoughts.
