My personality versus yours

I like personality tests, I like reading daily horoscopes, I like palm readings, face readings, handwritting readings...whatever you can think of. So, when Pearl said she's doing a test on me, I was excited. So, I drew 2 pictures, and she took the paper away.
Today, I got the result back. It says:

Penny, you have tremendous potential and splendid vigor. Yet you have a strong need for otherpeople to like you and for them to admire you. From your drawings, I see that you have a tendencyto be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity, which you have not turned toyour advantage.While you may have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for themthrough other strengths. You are definitely disciplined and controlled on the outside, but are alsosometimes worrisome and probably even insecure inside. At times you even have serious doubts asto whether you have made the right decision or have done the right thing…You prefer a certain amount of change and variety in life, and become dissatisfied when you feelhemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You do pride yourself as being an independent thinkerand do not accept other’s opinions without satisfactory proof. Penny, you have found it unwise tobe too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable,while at other times you are introverted, weary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to bepretty unrealistic too. Yet, you have a need to set challenging goals.

WOW...I thought. That's pretty good. It says a lot about me. Actually, some of the stuff here, I've heard from other tests before. This is exciting, so I sent this to Tristan, and asked what he thought about it. He then sent me a link to a video of Derren Brown reading astrology. He gave everybody the same reading and everybody said it was so true. I said, ok, I get your point. But this test is pretty accurate.
I still sent the video to Pearl, just to see her reaction. 2 minutes later, she emailed me back. Surprisingly, she said this test was exactly the same with the video. The result is the same. WOW!

I think I'll be a little easy on tests now. At the end of the day, who can really tell you who you are? I can't even tell who I am myself. Maybe that's why I do all these tests. Maybe, I just want to hear good things about myself, seek reinsurance, or security.
So, the question now is, are people all similar deep inside? We are all a little too harsh on ourselve, we are all a little insecure, and we are all a little confused sometimes? Ok, I don't feel so bad now.
