versus Personality Quizzes

I will admit it: I think I may have a problem when it comes to quizzes.  You know what I'm talking about, right?  In just about every magazine there is inevitably some kind of rate-yourself multiple choice questionnaire designed to discover some kind of useless, superficial deeper meaning.  I can't help myself!  If I'm standing in the checkout line in the grocercy store for more than the allotted 2.5 mins/10 items/ person I will inexorably be drawn to a 10 Question Survey of How Romantic Am I?  It's how I found out that I have a "winter" complexion, have a healthy natural competitive streak against all Pisces, and thong underwear would greatly enhance my self-esteem - that was a weird test...

Anyway, as I am one always willing to annoy people with intensley personal questions I figured, "Hey I could make one up myself!"  And so I have.  Below are 21 queries that I have carefully considered, spent hours crafting, all in the name of attempting to discern and decipher the inner-most you!  All with my signature use of the bizarre, of course!  So, grab a piece of paper and pencil and score yourself at home!  Who knows, you might just find out something about yourself you never thought you'd want to!!

This is gonna be fun!!

  4. I have long dreamed of having "Pop Up Video" glasses. Should this whole "having a real job" thing not pan out, I may devote my life to inventing them. Maybe they'll make a biopic out of my quest, and someone will get to win an Academy Award for depicting me in my epic, yet ultimately futile, quest.
