Just curious as to how well this works for lp. Here is the Forer analysis given to people based off a personality test. Rated a 0 (very bad accuracy) to 5 (extremely accurate).

"You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life."

These personality tests and whatnot are so silly and are tailored for women kekeke.

This statement made me smile of how sly it is, "At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved". And also this, because, who likes being restricted, ever? "You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations".
