stupid quizzes
I always get sucked in by those pop quizzes on other people's blogs, it's so easy to just click the link and there you are, with numerous time-wasting but irresistable quizzes to answer. Somehow it feels like reading your stars in the newspaper, or consulting a clairvoyant - you know it's total crap, but you think you'll just check it out anyway in case you learn something interesting about your favourite topic - yourself!
Anyway the particular link I followed took me to the "What kind of meat are you quiz" - now I ask you, what kind of person would waste time doing a quiz like that and even more, put it on their blog to tempt others - well as I was saying, I'm quite lacking in self control when it comes to these temptations, so I did it - and I came out fish, which had quite a nice description attached. So far so good.
The next quiz promoted by the referring blog was "Which wife of Henry VIII are you?" Hmmm, well after the meat one... I glanced to the sidebar of the quiz-master and lo and behold there were all sorts of far more fascinating quizzes there. I did the "Are you right or left brained" one - because, unlike my cynical fellow blogger, I really wanted to know something interesting about me. I'll enter the code here and see whether it comes out, but if I have to enter it on the template it isn't going to happen. In that case, I'll just let you know that I am almost perfectly adjusted between the left and right...ahem! Then I did the "What age will you die" one... and I'm not sharing that with you, it's just too personal.
For a bit of fun follow the link.

| You Are 45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained |
 The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |
