14.

    Is this kind of quiz completely worthless?

I think so. If someone has excessive difficulties because of their personality traits, then they might need to seek counseling/treatment. However, there is nothing wrong with being introverted, socially awkward, and analytic. It's a type of a personality, not a condition for intervention. This test is not going to reveal unknown conditions, and if it does, then they aren't problematic.

Should we diagnose those that are bad with numbers, but comfortable around people? If someone scores too low on this test, should be put on a different pathological spectrum?
