I don’t take those online quizzes that my hidden traits. You know the quizzes I’m talking about, right? Those series of questions that dig deep into my character to reveal important information like, the color of my soul, or my ‘inner nationality,’ or what kind of spice I am. Note, this isn’t revealing which ‘Spice Girl’ I am, but which actually SPICE I am.

Crucial information.

Someday, I may be captured by cannibals and added to their soup. I could ruin the entire meal.

I’m not sure how the color of my soul is important, or even possible. Invisible things don’t have colors. That’s what it means to be INVISIBLE.

There is a more practical online quiz that I would be willing to take if it ever becomes available: “How much do you loath taking online quizzes?”

I would score pretty high on a quiz that measured my disdain for mind numbing surveys designed to help me understand which Marvel superhero or Harry Potter character best represents me.

Some responsible, thoughtful person ought to create a quiz called: “How much useful knowledge have you forfeited taking online quizzes?”

There should be a quiz to find out how much it annoys your friends to incessantly post your quiz results along with the challenge that they do the same. “This quiz about my preferred pasta shape totally described my personality! You should take it too!”

I can deduce how much enthusiasm my friends have for these quizzes. It’s actually simple to do.

I post a picture of grandkids:

Hundreds of people comment.

I post the quiz results confirming that if I were a marine animal, I’d be plankton:

No comments.

Which is the online version of awkward silence.

So at the risk of never knowing the color of my soul, I’ll skip the online quizzes and do something else with my precious time, like procrastinate about exercise or learning something new. I wonder which Harry Potter character does that…?

Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,

the man who gains understanding,

for she is more profitable than silver

and yields better returns than gold.

Proverbs 3:13
