There are many myers briggs personality tests out there. I was just thinkin that I want to see one where it tells you the background of if you answer a certain question as yes, then that puts such and such weight on I, takes away from E, does nothing to N or S, gives big favor to F etc. etc.

I want to be able to trace back, think backwards, and analyze the test itself.

You should be able to figure it out after you know more about the system. I can't look at a test without instantly knowing what each question is relative to.

Well i did that already
*goofy boy trying to look smart*

What i did was i opened up the page of www.humanmetrics.com test
I analysed the HTML code and found out that the questions (it had answers yes/no)
were grouped in 9-9 pairs for E/i T/f ..
so the first nine questions had yes for E and no for I
questionms 10-18 had yes for I and no for E

and so on with N/S T/F P/J

On the Humanmetrics test:

It does not score #6 which is a N/S question
and there are 16 questions scored for N/S at 12.5 points each.

It does not score #65 which is a J/P question
and there are 18 questions scored for J/P at 11 points each.

It does not score #58 and #66 which are both T/F questions
and there are 16 questions scored for T/F at 12.5 points each.

It scores all the I/E questions
and there are 18 questions scored for I/E at 11 points each.

If you read Keirsey;s book - he has the test in there and it shows clearly how each question relates to each dimension.
