What effect can a good or bad mood have on
personality test results?

The effect of mood on personality test results is likely to vary depending on the particular test, however it's generally accepted that it is possible that your results on a personality test can be affected by your mindset when you are taking the assessment. Therefore, by way of an example if someone was suffering major depression or was simply struggling with a major life transition or change it's quite possible their results would be influenced by these factors.

While it is possible that serious mood disorders or life changers may alter a persons results, generally speaking, more minor stressors or mood swings should not have a major effect on most your test results. If you are unsure however you may contact or speak to us prior to taking the assessment, or alternatively we may discuss with you when reviewing your results with you.
