Wasting time on the Internet doesn't have to just mean Facebook and YouTube videos. This compilation of smart, accurate and perceptive online tests will actually allow you to use post-dinner downtime/tired-of-work lunchtime to find out a little more about yourself. No Myers-Briggs or Rorschach tests here. Instead, this is a list of personality tests that might actually tell you something you don't already know.

Hmm. Just tried the BBC "what kind of thinker are you" and it didn't actually come up with any answers or suggestions ... just a random statement about Renaissance thinkers. Big deal. As for the others, I am NOT registering on a website just to do a flipping "test". My level of interest cuts out at that point.

Just looked at the yougetme site - what's this about guessing what others are like and comparing? No thanks, I could not be LESS interested in doing that!

not a good test as most questions were repetitive.

I found some of these pretty interesting. According to two I took, I'm saner than I thought and much more dissatisfied with my marriage than I realized.

Have your spouse take the same test and if the results are the same then you can both file for an unconTESTable divorce.

It was the potential for growth element of one test that dinged the heck out of me. so much for my ability to predict the future.

Ah time wasting tests...I remember a group of us way back in high school filling out the honesty tests for eachother and giving the person rediculous results. An online test can't pinpoint who a person is, but I must admit when time needs to be wasted these always deliver!

Who creates these tests and who decides who administers them. Some people cannot trust themselves to take a test honestly. I know lots of types of people who would say one thing do another and think they put down choice C, even. Come on.

Everyone is equal. Everyone is the same. Everyone is the best. No more tests.

How is filling in pseudoscience questionnaires not a waste of time?
