I find these quizzes semi-amusing but what I think is funny is how surprised I am when they are wrong about me! This is ridiculous considering they are making conclusions based on a very small number of questions that pigeonhole you into certain categories that may not describe you very well. It shouldn’t surprise me at all. But it does.
This one was pretty accurate:
| How You Life Your Life |
 You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You tend to avoid confrontation and stay away from sticky situations. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren’t attainable. |
This one was quite inaccurate. Parts of it apply but many do not. Aside: I don’t even know what the word “untrammeled” means!
| The Keys to Your Heart |
 You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You’d like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future… one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You’ll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You’re feeling self centered. |

Tests with results like this remind me of my YM magazine days (approx age 12-15). I think it stands for Young Miss – but it was all about making me feel fat and teaching me about birth control… and the latest celebrity crap buzz. Why did I read YM? I think it was because I was a heathen – or just a pre-teen who thought she was 20. But 20 year-olds don’t read YM do they? Whatever…

I read that, too. You are so right. It’s aimed at early teens but it’s marketed as though it’s for adults. The best part was the embarrassing moments that were so clearly made up by 12 year olds.
