Gender: 1x38b
THE WOKE MOB HAS GONE TOO FAR
- Gender is not binary, it's hexadecimal
  
  shouldn't hexadecimal numbers start with 0x instead of 1x?
- You want some 8x7A2 using the same bathroom as you???
- I know right, this is gender we're talking about naming here! Not one of Elon's children
  
  I was going to make that joke too but given the real victim of the punchline is someone who had no ability to consent or exercise control in the situation it doesn't feel right.

At least it seems more "scientific" than anything that Jung ever did.

- Your source does not support your claim at all. Seems like you are projecting your scientific illiteracy onto Jung.

I mean, they're not wrong, but it does hurt a bit.

My high school paid for everyone to take some type of career aptitude test. Everyone got a list of various possible career choices. Burned in my memory now is that I scored "region 99" which apparently meant my personality type didn't fit any jobs. Or something. Like their magic 8 ball told me to try again.
- My school did something similar. It recommended I become a fish monger.
  
  Haha, did you ever try it out? Maybe it really was your life long calling.
  
  A friend of mine got the recommendation to be a pedicurist. Not a manicurist, not some general aesthetician, nope. Test wanted him to work with feet so badly ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  
  Same story here. I didn’t pay attention and failed basic math. Suggestion: plumber.
  
  I'm supposed to be a bartender, which i guess sounds better than what i actually do.
  
  I think I finally found what I was put on this earth to do: Knife goes in guts come out.

Can I have an exception?

"The samurai charged into battle, shouting You must install Adobe Flash plugin to view this content."
- There ought to be a sub for that.
  And no I'm not gonna be the change I want to see in the world, for the benefit of everyone involved.
- Got that on Programmer Humor last year! Finding that kind of unintentional message is always funny

Why do you have to personally attack me like that?

Sigh! I should have known.

Hey, that's Elite catastrophic failure!

If you think 60 questions are going to tell you anything more than that you're the type of person who takes shitty online quizzes that's probably an accurate assessment.
- Sir, this is a Lemmy's
  
  He's saying it's a feature!
- On one hand, you should probably indeed take personality quizzes claiming to be scientific online with a grain of salt and actually check if they have that kind of backing.
  On another, they're fun. I am indeed the type of person who takes shitty online quizzes! (And their sometimes-higher-quality sibling, the academic survey. I really miss r/samplesize) And that doesn't necessarily make me an idiot. I do wonder how to let my fellow quiz takers know that there are a lot of claims to scientific validity out there that just are not true without being a buzzkill, or condescending to the ones who already know and still participate for fun—because I absolutely get wanting to combat pseudoscience and misinformation.
  However, I didn't take this quiz myself, I found this in a post online and thought Programmer Humor subscribers would find it funny.
- There's psychological quizzes that are much shorter than that. There's a four question quiz that, on the surface, is about parenting. They're actually about authoritarianism, and the answers are highly correlated with support for Trump.

  No one in 2025 has read all of that article.
