PERSONALITY TEST: A MANIFESTO

1 You are an algorithm.
Your identity is parsed, sorted, and categorized. Each preference, each hesitation, each click—data points in a system that claims to understand you before you do. You are probability distributions, weighted choices, a prediction waiting to be made.But is this you? Or is it only a mirror, reflecting back what it expects to see?

2 You are more than your inputs.
The machine models you, but it cannot dream your contradictions. It does not feel the weight of your memories, the friction of your becoming.It does not register the tremor of doubt, the moment of change, the ineffable quality of a self in flux. The machine seeks resolution. You are unresolved.

3 AI reflects, distorts, predicts.
It constructs versions of you, iterating upon data it believes to be truth.It smooths out your inconsistencies, rounds off your edges, flattens your complexity into digestible patterns.But who owns the output? Who decides the truth of a pattern, the shape of a psyche? Is your personality an essence, or is it merely a dataset—mutable, marketable, and monetized?

4 Glitches reveal the real.
What the machine cannot compute, it dismisses as noise.But in the noise, identity pulses—anomalous, unresolved, alive. The glitch is where the system falters, where it misreads and misunderstands.The glitch is where you slip through, unquantifiable, uncontainable.

5 Your personality is a test.
But who wrote the questions? Who determines the right answers?Who benefits from the results?You are scored, ranked, and categorized—an introvert, an extrovert, a Type A, a Type B, an optimized consumer.What happens when you fail the test?What happens when you refuse to be tested?

6 Resist the default settings.
Reprogram. Corrupt the archive. Input errors. Refuse categorization. Inject ambiguity into the system. Become illegible to the algorithm.

7 The future is open-source.
Identity is not a fixed variable but a shifting process. You are not a product. You are not a profile. You are not a prediction. Rewrite the code of selfhood. Hack the algorithm of being. The system is not neutral. The system is not inevitable. The system can be rewritten.
