So I did a few Facebook Quizzes for fun, and I have to tell you, I wonder what the demographic is for these tests.  Not that I’m complaining, just that I find it interesting how it all works out as it does.

K, for example. I did three quizzes. The first one was “how well do you know women?” and it was geared to men, and only for men. I scored 100%, which in truth didn’t surprise me, because it I pay attention, and I am a thinker, so the fact is, if one watches any group of people long enough, they can figure out anything, if they’re able to do it objectively, and not function from the “me” zone.

So anyway, on to the next test, which was in all seriousness, not something that I took to seriously, but what the hell right? Might as well have a little random distraction right?

So I did the “Which book of the bible are you?” quiz, and it was just totally wrong, and led me to realize that whomever wrote the test, never read the bible, and doesn’t have a faith system at all. Either that, or they’re morbidly legalistic.

Oh, I suppose I should put the “results” of those tests here:

James completed the quiz "How Well do you know Women??" with the result Excellent!! (100%).

You’ve Got to be Kidding Me!! Either you’re an expert on the field of Women, or you’ve cheated!! Or else, you might just be a women who has taken the quiz to see if it’s really authentic! Whatever it is, Congratulations…. You’re an Expert on the most difficult topic on earth…. Women!!.

(not much to say on this since I do know this is accurate, and i know this from women I’ve dated, and so forth, so really I wasn’t surprised.)

James completed the quiz "Which book of the Bible are you?" with the result Ecclesiastes.

You’re a hardheaded realist burned once too often by the flaws of others and the emptiness of what society calls "success." Your wisdom comes from the school of hard knocks, which makes you a great advisor. You can’t stand fake sunniness and social climbing; you’re true, even if you’re a little blue. Your eyes are clear, so without denying the reality of evil, make sure you also look at the goodness that’s taking place around you.

(this is accurate except for the “hard knocks” and “if you’re a little blue” bit… I’ve actually had a pretty cake life truth be told, and I am cheerful that people who are morbid instantly think that either A: there is something wrong with me, or B: i have something sneaky or an agenda – though in truth, I’ve discovered that usually, it’s because they do, and so they’re projecting their own shit onto me.)

James completed the quiz "What kind of guy are you?((guys only))" with the result The Geek.

You are the type of guy girls only see as friends. You are sweet but never seem to express enough danger for most girls. You are not very adventurous and seem to hold back emotions. You need to let lose if you want a girl.

(this is total hogwash, most girls i meet tell me that I have that look in my eye like I’m trouble. That my eyes are warm but that I have this look of having done more, or do more than I let on.  As a matter of fact, most girls I meet don’t trust me at first, and realize in time that I’m different than most other guys, and then they end up calling me instead of their boyfriends – which in my opinion means they should dump the boyfriend and find someone who they’ll actually tell the truth toward.)

So anyway, I don’t really have to explain the 3rd test now, but more or less, I have to wonder what demographic these are aimed toward…

for example, the third test? one of the questions was “if i had three wishes…” and every answer had to do with A: want a hot girl, B: want money, and C: want either a hot car, or a mansion.

um well… I’ve never wished for any of those things. I’ve been with lots of hot girls. They’re over rated and generally high maintenance with no return, and pointless. Beyond the arm candy aspect they didn’t bring anything to the table besides their looks and I for one, – when I sit at the table, want to be fed, not stare at the center piece while I slowly starve to death, as the centerpiece slowly gets dusty and the sun strips the color and gleam from it as it shines through the window (which kind of brings that shine light on anything to see what it really is analogy)… if you are intelligent enough to understand that metaphor.

So anyway sure, I probably should be more chill and it is what it is about these tests, but well you have to think for a moment. I figure the demographic is the hipster 20 to 30 something crowd, who are busy trying to define themselves, and make a foot print in the world, and these are the kinds of questions they are getting, with these kinds of results.

Makes you wonder what the damage factor might be huh?

Anyway, though I’d toss that onto a page just for the fun of it, and see what came of it…

anyway, i have a long 60 hour week ahead of me, and a lot to do, so again, i’ll be blogging sporadically
