What everyone has posted is quite correct. To a large degree, personality tests can be unrealiable. For example, an introvert is halfway to several personality disorder diagnoses. And sensitivity and high emotional reactivity alone will satisfy many of the borderline criteria.
That being said, I have to admit that the MMPI nailed me exactly, in ways that can't be accounted for just by the nature of the questions. I just don't see any practical value in the information.
