Too many of these questions do not have any options that are even close to fitting my experience of life. I have found this in many such online "fun" quizzes. They are not fun for me but only serve to remind me that I experience life far differently than the vast majority of my fellow humans. Yes I know everyone is different, but some are more different than others, and some are a lot more different. I am neither proud of this nor wallowing in self-pity, just making an observation.
Any test that asks anything about friends, jobs or relationships is likely to not have enough choices given for me to answer the questions honestly, so the test is bloody useless and annoying to boot.
I have the same problem with quizzes as well, but somehow I still like taking them. Whatever I score - BS or not - I somehow like comparing my results with those of others. And see if they had any problems with the test such that I had. I'm not much like you in that I'm not bitter about being different, though. Probably because I haven't had many things to really complain about in life and I feel guilty for being such a spoiled dumbass. I haven't been discriminated against enough. I wish I were more different than I am, I feel too common. That is probably an awful thing to say, but I can't help it's the truth for me. I place far too much value on inviduality, I know it, but I can't change my core values. Sorry. I did not mean that to be offensive if it came across as such.
I suppose I'm childish. I think that's probably the vibe with this post. Naive, dumb, privileged and childish. Lucky and ungrateful. Why do I even post this. Argh. Ignore this. But it'd feel 'wrong' to not post it now.
