It's not a hard and fast but I found them helpful, specifically MBTI and Big 5, which you can easily find free online versions, to be useful in figuring out why I just think differently than so many people.
We used Myers-Briggs in the 1980s to inform writing group formations in workshop classes. I went through a long period of assessing everyone I met through the MB lens. I knew an INXJ for many years, a spooky intuition attuned to supernatural coincidences. I think you are spot on despite psychologists who discredited the theory of MB and its progeny. Very cool! 🙏
Yeah, I was just looking at the Wikipedia page for MBTI and it looks like someone with a TON of agnst against it got control of the editing. I'm always perplext at how vicerally opposing many people are to the idea that they aren't as unique as they'd like to think.
I use an app called Dimensional that combines all the personality tests you mentioned. I think knowing your personality and that of others improves communication. You also know where to work on yourself and where to focus. I am an ENTP for MBTI.
I think having been introduced to this, it would probably be enlightening to take these tests!

Great info, I'll have to look at that!
