buffy quiz

[spoonless]

Wow, this is a really good quality quiz. I liked the questions better than just about any personality quiz I can think of, I had to stop and think about some of them but I didn't think they were ambiguous or forcing you to choose between two bad options like some quizzes. As a bonus, Willow has always been my favorite Buffy character, so I'm very happy to get her. Although I wouldn't have guessed it from the questions until the end.

Willow Rosenberg 45% amorality, 54% passion, 54% spirituality, 9% selflessness

Likely you're stronger on the inside than most people would give you credit for: like Willow, you're a decent person with both passions and a spiritual side, sometimes struggling for control. Willow is one of the most beloved characters in the Buffy universe; Congratulations!

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 9% on morality You scored higher than 27% on repose You scored higher than 29% on spirituality You scored higher than 0% on selflessness

Interesting that I'm "more selfless than 0% of people" :) That should be on my resume or something.

Makes sense, I guess, but when results seem to cluster so close to the 50% boundary it probably makes the answer a bit too random....

Agreed. That's why they give you two different results--the non-curved and the curved results (relative to others who've taken it). For the ideal test, these numbers would match exactly, but for most tests I've seen they're pretty different.

One negative consequence of having the cutoffs all at 50% is that there is a critical point at 50-50-50-50, at which you're right on the cusp of all 16 possible results. But the alternative is to test variables for which you expect to have a larger portion of the population on one side or the other... which makes it seem kind of "biased" in a way, although the tests usually end up this way empirically anyway.
