Even though we make fun of Wikipedia, and even though any serious scientific piece shouldn't cite Wikipedia, fact remains that the community-created and maintained encyclopaedia has turned into an impressive database of knowledge. Even though I don't think you should trust it blindly, it's usually an excellent starting point for information, especially when used in a casual setting. Still, its open nature is also a threat to Wikipedia, this week exemplified by the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee banning Scientology from editing Wikipedia pages.

Oh yes, the personality test, also known as the Oxford Capacity Analisys or OCA for short. It's a big sham. The validity of that test is as much as the tests you see in girly-mags like cosmopolitan and the like. It works similar too. With the difference that there are no right answers. What ever you answer on the test, they always claim you need scientology.
Look around on the web for the OCA. There is a cgi floating around that will let you take that test without scientology involvement. You can cheat with it too
