| Take the Rate My Life Quiz | |
Worth a gander, but if you take the quiz, also take the time to analyze what questions are asked and how. Many assumptions here about what makes for happiness and what doesn't (e.g., more friends = better life, what does "strong moral code" mean and do I really need one?, etc.).
In reviewing the quiz's commentary on my score, I got this, for example:
"Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score leaves room for improvement. Consider making a concerted effort to redefine your attitudes and focus your beliefs. Boosting your spirit will lead to greater life satisfaction."
Ok, I do agree that in life in general I'd like to feel more at peace. But I think I got this fortune cookie comment because I did not put that I believe everything happens for a reason. And who is this stupid quiz to tell me otherwise! If my "moral code" were "stronger," would I get "You are super happy giddy girl" in response?
I think I prefer superficial quizzes like "What Kind of Dog are You?" They're inane so they don't piss me off.

I totally agree with you on this one. Many of the 'answers' you had to choose from were not appropriate for me so I chose the closest one which, of course, skewed the results. It also seemed very 'christian' based and is not a one size fits all kind of thing. I think you and I should write our own test. That'll show them!!
