( Cut so you don't have to look at them. )
Tests are one of those things that I tend to post just because I took them. They don't really say anything about me except that I spend my time taking tests that don't really say anything about me. Actually, the part I like best about these tests are trying to figure out what kind of people wrote the tests. When you look at the type of questions that they ask, the choices in answers that they offer and then the final results and subsequent descriptions, you can get a rather good picture of what the person believes. The truly hysterical tests are the political tests where the creators wear their beliefs emblazoned on 30-foot-high flashing neon signs that scream: Look at how stupid all those are who don't agree with me. What's more is that so many of them try to make a point of how open mined and tolerant they are by choosing to paint their political opposites as the worst kind of stereotypes, blindly committing the very prejudice they so deride in others.
Of course, that lack of tolerance and self-absorbed tunnel vision is very common on the web. It's just that tests make it somewhat entertaining.
