people argue about this all the time though
Personality tests tell you what you want to hear about yourself in the moment in which you take the test.
and it seems like the best argument goes like "these tests basically just repeat what you tell them"

based on eyes only
@Logan sauce
meditation is like a thousand year tradition
Marcus Aurelius would have some words to say about this lol
Marcus Aurelius was chad
"don't waste time talking about what a good man is, be one"
i'm clearly not adhering to his advice
@Papa Pizzagate meditation
If meditation was good enough for him its good enough for me
@Logan prayer
prayer is a form of meditation
