Persona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests

Never quite reaches it's climax with misleading stories to make an unnecessary narrative. Wish it had focused on either sensationalism or pure information but it tries to straddle both and falls short. Not really sure what the point of the film is. It raises several good ones but focuses on one major personality test by showing its impact on an individual while that individual was not affected by that test at all. Intermixed is random history of the main test and an woman who is upset personally disorders exist. I don't disagree with her but I don't quite see how her part fits. Then they have random other people that never really add anything except to show that many people believe in these tests too much. Hopefully no one takes this as factual.

It starts out incredibly interesting and by the halfway mark, you realize this is more about white men being the devil then it is about educating viewers about the topic at hand. It got carried away in preaching and less about informing. Shame because there was so much potential to educate without throwing barbs.

Interesting subject, but the poor sound edit makes it impossible to watch. How can you make a documentary where the soundtrack is so loud that you are constantly struggling to hear what people are saying?

The documentary is a good introduction for anyone not familiar with personality tests however it stays on the surface of the matter in both branches it tries to touch upon (namely the science behind the test, and the socio-economical aspect/impact). But what is the worst thing about this documentary, and if I was rating only that, it would have been 1 star (at most) is what they have done with the sound when loud music always plays on top of people talking so most of the times you can't understand a word they say unless you use subtitles.

Thank you for bringing this unjust, ableist issue to the attention of lay the lay people. Too many are too eager to put faith in unscientific activities parading as science. Personality tests are NOT scientific and are about as useful as reading horoscopes.

Bravi.
