a strange quiz algorithm
Many quizzes ask you for your gender, age, household income, SSN, and all sorts of personal things. For scientific studies I would provide some of that information, but for "get a happy image for your journal so other kids can see how cool you are" quizzes, I pick randomly. The gender answer is used by a most of them to filter out the list of possible outcomes (especially if the outcomes are gendered), which is why the "What Tarot Card Are You?" quiz outcome surprised me (I chose male):
You are The High Priestess
Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education
The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluctuation, particularly when it comes to your moods.
