This video, I feel, accurately describes how many of us feel about such posts:
 |
| Bigger, and definitely nicer, than many of the ones I ever made as a kid, but it gets the point across. |
Also, I'll try to keep it to quizzes that actually make sense. In the video above, Fafa the Groundhog takes a quiz about what animal he should be, and none of the questions he's asked have anything to do with animals.
Which Pokémon Gym Leader Are You?
This was the first one I noticed, mostly for having a love of the Pokémon franchise. I got Misty, and here's the description:
You are fiercely competitive and energetic. You tend to tackle problems head-on and are always striving to be better. You may have romantic aspirations, but you would never let them get in the way of your training!
All righty then. I don't know if this quiz is limited to just the first generation of games, though… and if you have absolutely no idea what I meant with that last statement, then ask me later.What Song Should You Actually Sing At Karaoke?
Hopefully this doesn't start a trend… the questions for this one didn't ask anything about what kind of music I like, or anything about music, really. One of my questions was literally "What is your spirit animal?" which I was kind of joking about before, and another one asked me to choose one out of nine movies. I picked Space Jam. My song result is Dolly Parton's "9 to 5."
It’s been a long day at work, but now you are on your own time. Celebrate the working man and woman and bring out that Tennessee Twang, because you’re about to sing “9 to 5.”
I kinda sorta hate country. And Dolly Parton in particular. So I sincerely doubt that this is right. Moving on.
Do You Win At Eating?
First of all, I don't even know if that's a grammatically correct question. I know that it's common in today's vernacular, but… "Do you win at eating?" I doubt I'd ever ask someone that in that way. Anyway, I checked off 8 out of 50 "accomplishments" for eating, and here's what it says:
You’re a champion eater! You’ve got mad eating skillz. And everyone is pretttttty impressed.
…*sigh*First off, I'd just like to point out that the questions for this one are rather subjective. Example: one of the things to check off was "I have eaten an entire can of Pringles." I have, but not all at the same time – I seriously doubt I could ever do that. Over the course of a week, though, yeah. I have. Others were more specific, such as "I have eaten more than 3 bowls of cereal in one sitting." (Didn't check that one off, by the way.) I just assumed that all the the ambiguous questions meant in one sitting, so I left them blank if I hadn't done that.
Second, how does 8 out of 50 merit "mad eating skills"?! That's a ridiculously low score on ANYONE'S scale! Since this one is easier to see the answers for, since you just check off a certain amount, I found out that just 1 gives you "reasonable eater" and all 50 gives you "Ultimate Eating Champion." Just 6 already puts you at the level that I actually got.
What Kind Of Thinker Are You?
I am, apparently, a "Creature of Habit."
You’re a sucker for a schedule. When you stick to it, there’s no stopping you, creatively.
This one was actually sponsored by GE, so the questions actually had a lot to do with the topic at hand.How Sarcastic Are You?
"Completely and utterly sarcastic."
Well done. This is more or less the best thing that has ever happened to you. You are going to get this result tattooed on your forearm, because it is that important.
I didn't think that I answered many of the questions that sarcastically… Although when it gave me six TV show characters to choose from, I went with Dr. House, who is probably one of the most sarcastic characters I can think of.Which '90s Game Show Are You?
This one I enjoyed, mostly because of the nostalgia factor. My result was Nickelodeon Guts, which I really feel is a show that they could bring back and it would be a total hit. (That and Nick Arcade, but that one would take a little more work in finding appropriate games…)
You represent your city, your nation, yourself in the greatest individual competition known ever to kidkind. You know the Olympic Games would be greatly improved if they were more like this classic competition. Can you climb to the top of the Aggro Crag to claim a piece of it for your own?
Come to think of it, Nickelodeon had a few game shows back in the day that were all REALLY good. Legends of the Hidden Temple, the ones already mentioned, Double Dare (with the spinoffs of Family Double Dare and Double Dare 2000)… good times.What Disney Movie Hero/Heroine Are You Actually?
Don't know if this one was as fair as some of the others. First question asked me to pick a color, second question asked me to choose a TV – none of which I've watched, and none of which were Disney channel shows. My result was Aladdin, which I'm actually pretty happy with, but again I don't think the question given were actually appropriate for this one.
“Riffraff, street rat. I don’t buy that.” You are the definition of a diamond in the rough. True royalty at heart! I feel sorry for the poor sap who underestimates you. Anyone who risks imprisonment for a small amount of food is a-OK in my book.
Also, one of the questions asked what my chosen method of transportation would be. Out of the choices given, I chose driving (against swimming, walking, swinging, flying, and majestic horseback riding). If that's not enough of a clue that sometimes these quizzes are just a bit far-fetched, then I don't know what is.Which Soda Are You?
Again, great result this time around (Dr Pepper) but I have no idea why some of the questions for this were in there. "Pick a 90's trend" and "Pick a celeb" (with one of the options for that one being Santa) don't seem to correlate with sodas in my mind.
Actually, picking Santa might have given me Coke, come to think of it.
You’re an enigma, possessing of that ever-elusive “je ne sais quoi.” No one can quite figure you out, which either means someone thinks you’re weird, or you’re incredibly sexy. Either way, you’re fine with it all.
Great description for Dr Pepper. I feel like it's pretty accurate for both the drink and myself.What Your Favorite Color Says About Pfffffftttt Nothing Matters
This one I went into kinda expecting this result. I chose blue out of the twelve options, and here's what I got:
Your favorite color is completely meaningless.
Allllllllll righty then.Which "The Princess Bride" Character Are You?
One of my favorite movies (I think for a lot of people in Mormon culture, it's one of their favorite movies) and they actually had all the questions relate to characters! I ended up getting the Grandfather, who admittedly is only part of the movie and not the book. But he does contribute a fair amount to the movie.
The most important thing to you is family. You’re caring and show your love through action. You adore stories and tell them to anyone who will listen. Even if it’s a kissing story.
You know, I feel like I actually relate a lot to young Fred Savage's character as well. When I was young, I used to absolutely hate watching any kissing scenes in movies. Even in cartoons! But now that I'm older and accept the fact that… yeah, kissing is actually a pretty normal thing, I can watch most kissing scenes just fine. (Except maybe for those couples who wait until the day of their wedding to kiss for the first time… that's jut weird. And I'm not gonna link to any of those, you can find them for yourself.)Would You Pass Your Harry Potter Charms OWL?
I'm not gonna go ahead and call myself a "Potterhead," but I've read the books a few times each, seen all the movies, and felt pretty confident going into this. Ended up getting 9 out of 10 right, and according to the Hogwarts grading scale I get an O for "Outstanding."
Hermione, is that you? Congratulations! You’re definitely the brightest witch/wizard of your age!
The only one that I missed (because this one actually shows you what you got right and wrong) was "Rictusempra." I said that it would give the target a flesh wound, but I confused that with "Sectumsempra," which was introduced in the sixth book/movie. The actual effect strikes the foe with a feeling of incessant tickling. Besides that, though, I got them all right!What Should Your Name Actually Be?
There wasn't an option to say if you were a guy or girl for this, and I'm not gonna try to go through this one again to get a guy's name for it. My result? "Kiki." The description?
Your name should have been Kiki.
Right, because that totally makes sense.WHEN Will You Die?
Apparently I'm going to die on July 1, 2024. Exactly 10 years from now.
You have 10 years left. Now is the time to plan out how to really enjoy the time you got! Travel around the world, explore new people, accomplish your dreams and most important of all - BE HAPPY. 10 years is plenty of time.
Umm... no it's not. It really isn't.
Which Transformers Character Are You?www.playbuzz.comFind out which Transformers character you're most like.
Ironhide. A brief summary from the Wikipedia page I linked to just now (because the quiz gives no description) is that he's Optimus Prime's oldest friend and the weapons specialist of the team, having sustained many injuries during his time as a soldier. I could live with that.
Admittedly, I actually don't know all that much about each Transformer outside of the recent movies... I think I was just a couple years too late to really know/enjoy the show all that much.
How Would You Die In An Action Movie?
"You tragically die in your lover's arms." The picture associated with this result is from X-Men 3: The Last Stand, after Wolverine kills Jean amidst all the destruction she's causing.
You're a lover (and maybe a fighter, too). Your caring nature and irresistible good looks caught the attention of one of the hottest characters in the movie, and their piercing eyes and rippling muscles will be the last thing you see before you go. Don't worry, your untimely death will be avenged by a combination of a sudden adrenaline rush and maybe a machine gun.
I feel like the description is geared more toward a woman... oh well. At least I'll be avenged.
Which Gaming Icon Are You?
I'm already calling BS on this one because the first question asked "If you could have any superpower, what would it be?" and did not list flying as one of the options. That is my go-to superpower, and I'm rather disappointed it wasn't there, especially because it asked any superpower.
It ended up giving me Sonic the Hedgehog.
Impatient & Quick-Witted, you are Sega's iconic mascot - Sonic The Hedgehog! Sonic is the title character and protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by Sega, as well as numerous spin-off comics, four animated shows, and an animated OVA. He is a 15-year-old blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who has the ability to run at supersonic speeds and the ability to curl into a ball, primarily to attack enemies.
While I'm a little worried as to how the Sonic franchise is going to be dealt with for the new series "Sonic Boom," there are a few games that I've played that I really did enjoy, so this result isn't too bad.
Which Norse God Are You?
This one is about Norse gods... and the third to last question asked me to choose a Greek deity. Then it asked me to choose my favorite of the X-Men Okay.
Wise and Timeless, you are the Norse God Odin! Odin is the Allfather of the gods, and the ruler of Asgard. He is flanked by ravens, of which he uses to oversee his lands. His role, like that of many of the Norse gods, is complex. Odin is a principal member of the Æsir (the major group of the Norse pantheon) and is associated with war, battle, victory and death, but also wisdom, Shamanism, magic, poetry, prophecy, and the hunt. Odin has many sons, the most famous of whom is the thunder god Thor.
Odin's a pretty decent result, though, so I can live with that.
