If you've ever found it necessary to waste some time on the Internet on a Friday afternoon (not that we would know anything about that—ahem), chances are good that you've run across a quiz or two in your time. "What Kind of Shoe Are You?," "Which BBQ Style Are You?," "What Season Are You?." Who cares?
