Can you re-take the Personality test?

And I agree with Mr. Gummischuh on putting up a disclaimer. In BIG, BOLD, FLASHING, BRIGHT LETTERS that the test will never be able to be taken again and that your answers will be written in stone and that should you ever grown or change from life experiences that the test will haunt you unless you just hide it and then you seem like you aren't interested in more than the surface of things.
I don't actually remember if there was a disclaimer, because I only took it once and can't get to that page again. :P

Can you re-take the Personality test?

"When People don't like the Results, they keep re-doing it until they are happy about them, or more pleasing."
I believe that anybody that takes the time to go through the test is genuinely trying to portay themselves accurately to get the best match possible for them as a unique individual. Additionally, as far as I can tell, there are not any negative or horrendous results that show from the choices you make on the test. So, it's not like somebody is trying to retake the test in order to get rid of something they want to erase (i.e., 'you have the potential to be a serial killer') just to make it more pleasing or deceptive in some way.
If you read most of the concerns about retaking the test, they are about the test results showing the opposite of the person's personality. Why would somebody care if the answer is something such as 'likes a lot of affection' versus 'not an overly affectionate person', as both are just different character traits and neither one is 'bad' or 'wrong'? It is because they want the answer to reflect who they are, so they can get a great match according to what's right for them individually.
For me, I am a single working mother and sometimes don't get online until late in the evening when my child is asleep. When I took the test, I was very tired and dozing in and out of sleep at my keyboard. I believe that I either selected some incorrect answers (in relation to me) or that the test does give innacurate answers. That is why I would like to retake it. And I would take it when I could focus on the test without distraction. There is always the chance that I may retake it and get the same results; that I answered everything appropriately the first time and that maybe the test gives poor results.
I think this is a great site and appreciate that it is free, especially as a single mom and in this economy. I value the admin's view that the quest for love or chance encounters shouldn't have to be paid for. I also believe the admin has a genuine interest in providing this site with great features for the users. I just wanted to post this to hopefully make the admin aware of this chemistry test issue because many people are trying to find a true match and they want to utilize the test to the best of its ability. Others that are just looking for intimate encounters and or other preferences are not likely using the chemistry test. All that to say I don't believe the people using the test are trying to be deceptive, but rather that they are trying to use the feature for its intended purpose and they want it to be accurate so it can be most beneficial.
Good luck to everyone.
