What does different personality test and or behavioral test measure ?
Like all self-estimated and or self-assessed tests, they require that the person wants and can report truthfully about oneself.
Therefore, different self-estimated test measure this in different ways and some do not even measure it . Some test that I have asked do not answer if the measure something like consistency or reliability at all.
Some other test answers, and - refers sometimes this to a coefficient called Cronbach Alpha, Cronbach’s alpha measures whether questions belonging to the same scale produce similar scores.
Does anyone know more about these tests and its measurement?
Any research ?
Hopefully you will find this useful. Also look up Goldberg's work, and Costa & McCrae. The DMS5 book has explanations too, including test-retest, validity and reliability, etc. Hope this helps.

Got it
Self-report measure assessing the general traits like the influential five-factor model (FFM) of personality: neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness (John & Srivastava, 1999; McCrae, Costa, & Martin, 2005) are preferable to measure personality of an individual.
Thank you all, but I was thinking about validations and like response congruence etc
