Here is a quiz.→[More:]
It says I lean toward closed-mindedness, and that I prefer traditional, familiar experiences.
It says I enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways; have a messy desk; am neither particularly social or reserved; tend to consider the feelings of others; probably remain calm, even in tense situations.
It also says I tend to forget about my tea steeping on the kitchen counter while I do internet quizzes, and that my teacup then acquires the dreaded "tea-ring". They are absolutely right about that!
I am somewhat conventional, tend to do things somewhat haphazardly, probably enjoy spending quiet time alone, neither extremely forgiving nor irritable and tend to become anxious or nervous.
It is pretty amazing how it's able to deduce that I'm, for example, introverted when all I explicitly told it was that I'm not talkative, am reserved, tend to be quiet, am sometimes shy or inhibited, and am not outgoing/sociable. It's like it was somehow -- I suspect maybe voodoo? -- able to process all that confusing disparate information, synthesize it and distill it into one startling, revelatory conclusion.
I really am more impressed by the designers' unswerving, nearly-religious commitment to green as a design concept than I am by the likely intended merits of the test.
