tests, tests and more tests

NOTE: I actually wrote this a few days ago and forgot about it. When I went to add photos to the sledding post I noticed it was saved as a draft and decided to post it.
I guess as a full time student I don't have enough tests in my life so I've been taking more online. Our friend Carolyn had a link to a "What Jane Austen character are you?" test and because I wanted to be silly I took it. I'm Fanny Price in case you were wondering. Another friend Erica had one about Intelligence type. Results below. What possesses us to take such silly tests? There isn't anything scientific about them whatsoever. Your score is based on the capricious whims of the writer and their understanding of whatever subject they are comparing you to; be it Jane Austen characters, Friends character, dogs, rock stars, ewoks, whatever. Yet we still take them. Again and again. I am Fannie Price, Kramer, Rocky Road Ice Cream, Han Solo, Lisa Simpson, and a Golden Retriever. I can't for the life of me figure out how any of those are connected EXCEPT through me. I would never associate Kramer and Han Solo together.
Do I feel validated as a person because if I were a dog I'd be a Golden Retriever? Am I a happy nerd because I'm Han Solo (the answer is no, I want to be a Jedi)? Why o why do we take such silly tests?

Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things. Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments. You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it. You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle. You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or mathematician.
