And what random object are you, sir?

I predict that all the millions of random Facebook quizzes are going to become the new Myers-Briggs test. Never mind that most of them don't make any sense and seem to be written by people for whom English is a second (or maybe third) language. Clearly these quizzes must provide the answers to questions about ourselves that we always wondered, but never knew how to ask.

I can see it now -- at your next staff development retreat, instead of finding out whether you're an ENFJ or an ISTP, the consultant will ask which famous painting, Muppet, Spice Girl and color you are. Maybe Facebook could even merge with match.com and begin connecting people with their quiz match for dates.

In case you're wondering, I am (among other things)...
  • Mona Lisa
  • Marilyn Monroe (in a past life)
  • Miss Piggy
  • Posh Spice
  • Yellow aura
  • Shelby (from Steel Magnolias)
  • American cheese
  • Rachel (from Friends)
  • Say Anything
  • Gold (which fits nicely for Posh and Piggy)
Now the real questions is: why can't we stop ourselves from taking all these quizzes?
