Not necessarily. That applies to anyone with a Chaotic Evil alignment, like an orc or something, but a redshirt orc clearly couldn't be considered a supervillain. Similarly, a supervillain might well have a single clear goal (taking over the world being the classic). There are two parts of a supervillain: the super and the villain. A supervillain has to have, if not superpowers or giant robots or stuff, then at least the intelligence and resources to actually be a threat on a large scale. A supervillain has to be thoroughly evil, as opposed to an antihero or someone of a Neutral alignment, who might do bad things but isn't necessarily bad to the core. I would object to the villain part for Vader, and probably the super part for Montenegro, although I don't really know anything about him.

Palpatine is arguably a supervillain. He's really nothing but evil.

You want a super villain that causes chaos for no reason other than childish boredom?

Yeah. There's a lot of stuff that the tests don't take into account. For example, I own eighteen identical pairs of socks and they're the only ones I ever wear. An actual psychologist would probably be very interested in that, but the test doesn't care about it at all.

I see nothing odd in odd style preferences , think of how many times people like to wear the same shorts or stuff - they like that specific look and don't want to change it.

It's not supposed to be accurate, it's just a bit of harmless fun and a rough estimate.
This is a signature.

It perpetuates bad science, like IQ and right-brain-left-brain learning, which people still put weight in.
In Europe, some companies still use graphology in their hiring process. You could literally get turned down for a job because some quack pretending to analyze your handwriting declares you to have a weak personality. Pseudo science should never be tolerated, even if it seems harmless.

Well the most you can get from handwriting is to determine who's writing it is, I have some very ugly handwriting, some teachers suggested me to take some tests because they think it comes from some disorder but I didn't do it because that will only give me someone to write the exams for me (Aka I read aloud they write), some system to help people with different studying disorders, the most common of which is more time given to complete exams. I really doubt anyone can determine anything by that handwriting, not even what the hell I wrote there :tongue: , well it is readable but downright ugly.

As for the personalities thingy it had some correct things about me in the description but on the other hand it had some things really wrong about me too, I guess with a 50/50 chance to determine stuff that thing is useless too. To determine what is it you call pseudo science you should simply look at the statistics - does it work ?

Yeah, the super part maybe isn't really fitting for him.
But the villain part sure is.
