I suppose the beauty of personality tests is that they tell you who you are. Within 20 minutes you are told what type of personality you are, how you react in times of stress, how you treat your friends, what sort of job best suits you, which other famous personalities are exactly like you - answers that used to take years of experimentation and angst to arrive at, you get after answering 40 multiple choice questions.

The best part is, if you don't like the conclusions, you can always skew your answers so that you get told exactly what you want to hear.

Still, cheating aside, it is quite fun, if you remember your "history" or have saved previous results just for kicks, to see how you've changed over the few years of your quiz addiction. It is also a rather pleasant surprise to find out that you've grown into the 'type' you've always admired and aspired to be.

Personality tests or quizzes are by no means an analysis of one's character, strengths or weaknesses but going through them is like visiting a family doctor whom you used to see as a child. In a calm, reassuring voice, you are given a diagnosis of who you are what problems you may have and what you can do to fix them. If you have gotten better since your last visit, you get a sweet as your reward; if you haven't, you are a little embarrassed but other than yourself and the doctor, no one will know so it's not so bad. The best part about it, is that you can choose to be okay with being ill and not take the prescribed the bitter pill. If you're the type.
