as a philosophy and sociology nerd myself (i.e. not at all qualified) i will simply say that there are many better alternatives.

The big five is a pretty good one, a lot of people like it, i really like the enneagram. It's really broad but incredibly specific at the same time, does a pretty good job at concatenating behaviors down into traits.

Other than that, stop taking personality tests. Start quantifying your own behaviorism's, it's fun, just don't take it seriously.

The idea of taking a complicated system and boiling it down to an essential value (or set of values) that describe everything is high-key fascism. It's fine to simplify a system to better understand it, but the moment you start saying these abstractions have any kind of predictive capability outside their original contexts, that's when you start getting into the eugenics shit.

You support ultra capitalist dictatorships while claiming to be a tankie.

Go away nazi.
