Anyone tired of Facebook quizzes yet? Don’t get me wrong, I like Facebook. I just think they should implement SOME kind of minimal IQ test that prohibits the truly stupid from creating quizzes. That and a spelling test. There’s nothing to instill confidence in the quiz creator like seeing questions and answers misspelled:
“Who said ‘Louie, I think this is the begining of a butifull relaishenship’?”
And there are quizzes now for EVERYTHING! Pick a subject – there’s a quiz for it. I haven’t gone to look, but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if there’s a quiz just like the title of this post.
I did one the other day (yes, I admit that every once in a while, the title of the quiz intrigues me and I fall for it and click the link). It was “what decade fits your personality best?” – you know, like the 20′s, 50′s, etc. I don’t know how far back it goes – if you could be the 1830′s. By looking at the questions, I’m guessing not.
So, what happened? Well, I was the 80′s. And it describes me to a T. I’m spunky (you better believe it, baby!), and a rare combination of conservative ideologies and cutting-edge attitude. Now, I did a different quiz, ages ago, about political ideologies and, when my score was plotted out, I was nestled right up against Nelson Mandela, who, really, is the first name that pops into your head when you think of conservative ideologies. So, I’m not sure how this came about. I think the tipping point was the movie list. I looked at that and didn’t find much to pick from, so I picked Back to the Future because I get a kick out of walking around saying “1.21 Gigawatts?!” Who doesn’t? Seriously, watch the movie and you’ll be doing it too.
