The Truth about my Identity and Buzzfeed Quizzes



It has come to my attention that whatever social media site I end up on, someone appears to be sharing a new Buzzfeed quiz they have taken.

Newsflash: I love Buzzfeed.  It is an absolutely hilarious site, with many laughable stories, and some that are exceptionally touching and make me tear up, and there are an incredible amount of articles with the cutest puppies that make me want to go buy one and smuggle it into my dorm room as soon as possible.

My cousin and I were having a great, intellectual conversation the other day and I realized that maybe I've been doing my college career all wrong.  I took the Strengths Finders test and the Myers Briggs test, but I am beginning to realize I should have just offered to take Buzzfeed's many personality quizzes.  I am even considering adding my results to my LinkedIn Profile to make myself more marketable when I graduate in a year.


First of all, I am a Journalism major, but I clearly I have many talents.  Apparently I could also be a spy and if I were a spy, I would be a computer hacker.  As I can barely type a website in the search box (just kidding - I can do a little more than that!), I think that this may be a little less than accurate, but Buzzfeed has to have more accurate quizzes right?













What Type of Spy are You?


Despite this great news of finding out what spy I am, I believe I'm having an identity crisis.  I never knew how many different types of Disney Princess quizzes there were and I'm starting to panic a little.  I've been told I have red hair (I think that's false - I'm just an extremely odd brunette), but nonetheless I took the Disney ginger quiz (is that okay to name a quiz that?) and it told me I was Merida, which was slightly weird to me me, but only because I've never even seen this movie, but I can roll with it.











Which Disney Ginger are you?


Truthfully, I was okay being Merida ... until I saw there was another Disney Princess quiz which apparently entails all the Disney Princesses!!!  Then, I got told I was Tiana which I'm really cool with because The Princess and The Frog is actually one of my favorite Disney Princess movies.













Which Disney Princess are you?


BUT THEN, Buzzfeed got all deep on me and there is a quiz that tells you the KIND of princess you are and this one said I was a Renaissance Princess, but neither Tiana or Merida are Renaissance Princesses (or maybe they are and I just didn't do my research - which was actually no research - and I just really don't know my Princess eras!) so can anyone see why I'm struggling right now?














What kind of Disney Princess are you?


I started to wonder though if my identity was really all about my princess alias, though, because my mom always said I could be whatever I wanted to be - it only makes sense that I would take a couple other quizzes to decide if being a princess is truly my calling.

I've always loved The Hunger Games (and yes, I do like this trilogy better than the Divergent trilogy - except they also have that random prequel book about Four... whatever... Which "Divergent" Faction are you?) so I thought I could find out what character I would portray.  Not going to lie, I was really hoping to be Katniss, and not even so much for her killer shot or sassy attitude, but she gets to kiss Gale aka Liam Hemsworth.  After taking the quiz though, I find out apparently I AM GALE.  Okay.















 
I mean, I do have a lovely face though ...
Which "Hunger Games" Character are you?


I may be most confused about the food quizzes.  I can understand trying to match people to movie characters because movie characters have personalities but I have yet to have my wheat toast respond to me in the morning when I ask, "Do you think you are an introvert or extrovert?"  But, based on my lack of response (weird) I'd say wheat toast is introverted.  Nonetheless, I had to figure out this whole food quiz thing ... Which cereal are you?




















I would love to be a fly on the wall for all of the cereal interview processes.

There is seriously a quiz called But like, Are You a Cheese? And yes, I took the quiz.  And yes, I'm a cheese BUT THEY DON'T TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF CHEESE YOU ARE!!! How does that help anyone at all?!


For my final self analysis (as I am more confused than ever now) I found a quiz called What's your actual personality type? Now I should be able to settle this matter once and for all.














First of all, I was so distracted by the fact I had never heard of an ambivert that I couldn't focus enough to read the description of what I supposedly am! Once I quit overreacting, I realized that an ambivert is someone who is both an introvert and an extrovert.

My ending conclusion: I don't think I am going to take any more Buzzfeed quizzes.

Except ... I was just kidding because I took these quizzes as well, but I am not going to tell you my results!

Which Lizzie McGuire Character are you?

Which Book should you Date?

Which Marvel Movie Character are you?

Which Jennifer Lawrence character are you?

Which Frozen Character are You?


Hopefully, you have better luck than me. Or maybe yours make more sense ... or by having good common sense, you just don't take any of these quizzes at all!!!
