internet personality "tests"

America, Isn't There A Better Way?

I just took one of those internet personality "tests" .
We all know this form of internet interaction being used as a form of keeping in touch (as opposed to sending an actual note where we formally ask how someone is and tell them how we feel)

Anyway, my test told me that I am a
Garfield :


(Which went on to say: )
 "very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but....may take it to an extreme. (and in addition)  would always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others. "
 
 
As I read it I wondered who had decided this was me and what they had based the analysis on?
After all I have never had any contact (that I'm aware of) with the entity which composed this "fun little forward" and I started to wonder how many people actually take this sort of thing seriously.  How many people are "hurt" by this game?
