All self-report data is inherently flawed, which is why you can't rely on one kind of data while trying to learn something about personality.

Find the scoring manuals, do loads of personality tests, rinse, repeat. Its not particularly difficult.
Despite this, I have ran many surveys back when I worked in academia. You can detect some of this stuff with Guttman errors, but these are not often used, and as long as you are consistent, its very difficult to spot.
Is there anything you've got offhand that I can read further about this? I didn't know you could actually game them.
