Super cool site.
I took a bunch of tests. Mostly useless results but it does tell a bit about the person. It was fun.
Almost none of the art presented is art I liked.
I prefer both women on the left in both groups. I the second group, I strongly prefer the women on the left which is the exact opposite of my results. Weird.
I won't give any hints but two of these gave me quite a bit of trouble:

The personality ones are called Self-Report Inventory tests. They are mixed on "reliability." Probably the one that is quite accurate is the MMPI tests HOWEVER....
The MMPI-2 is not a valid measure of a person’s psychopathology or behavior if the person taking the test does so in a way that is not honest or frank. A person may decide, for whatever reasons, to overreport (exaggerate) or underreport (deny) the behavior being assessed by the test.

Is that not the problem with all of these types of tests? A person with NPD may exaggerate or underreport based on traits they feel are favorable to their ideal self. And that poses a problem with getting accurate results on SRIs. But, an honest person or a person that has a meted self-perception should get decent results from these types of tests. Depends on which one. The site tells you which ones are bunk or legit before you take them.
Since most of these are ongoing studies, they are actual science. However, some of them are useless for anything other than telling you something something something (I do not know what this something is and I can almost remember it...it is like...a self-contained result that is relative to all other test takers but does not tell you little to nothing about your personality or behaviors).
Any of the tests that are about how you perceive your personality are going to have weak results, as discussed above. The worst outcome is you have a bit of fun discovering possible truths about yourself.
