Who Am I?

So the world of Facebook has become overwhelmed by quizzes galore. These quizzes are designed (and I use that term very loosely - in fact let's put it in quotes, "designed") to uncover aspects of your personality and assign them qualities. I have found out what color I am (yellow), punctuation mark (the semicolon) and type of shoe (stripper heels). I now know that I am both Buffy and River Tam from Firefly - so you had better watch out. I kick ass. And yesterday I discovered that I am as good an astronomer as my friends with doctorates in astronomy (hey, that's what the quiz said). This is what happens when non-professionals design survey tools. Sure, it is more fun to only answer 5-10 multiple choice questions than take a professionally developed assessment tool - just so long as the tool (ha, ha I said tool) approximately measures what it claims to measure. I am alright being the crazy ass-kicker. I know very little actual astronomy - and the test knew even less. I like stripper shoes. What I object to is the color yellow. I am not a sunny personality. Whoever came up with this quiz is a moron. How sunny is that?! You are a fucking moron color quiz maker.
Another thing, yesterday, I took what type of feminist are you and got ecofeminist Vandana Shiva. I don't hug trees. Now I have to find out what decade I am.....
