For year upon year countless teenagers have been plagued by an inherit inability to define who they really are as a person. Throughout their adolescent years these youths would constantly test the boundaries in attempt to achieve this definition - only to do the same twenty years later through what has now become commonly known as: “a midlife crisis”. This process has been played out since before time, and often led directly to severe depression when failure resulted. For millions upon millions of people this simple thing has caused endless pain and constant conflict between them.
All this caused by three simple words: “Who am I?”
But what could be done?? Sure, adolescents could simply move from social group to social group until they found where they fit best - but who wants to go through all that work, and what if you don’t like the group you end up in?
But fear not - this problem has been COMPLETELY solved! Once again the world wide web has provided a simple solution to a complex and devastating problem - online personality quizzes. Through MySpace, FaceBook, Ringo, Bebo and many other social networking websites these troubled teens can fill out simple surveys in order to discover their true self. “Which superhero am I?”, “Which flavour am I?”… “Am I gay?”, “Am I fat?”… The list continues on and on. Each day another quiz is added for the masses of confused adolescents to discover themselves. Through a simple series of multiple choice questions the greatest question in life can be answered - I mean, I’ve ALWAYS wondered what flavour I would be!!
To test this phenomenon, I took a few quizzes myself!! The results are as follows:
What superhero am I?
|
You are a wanderer with amazing strength.  |
What flavour am I?
|
I am a quiet, fresh taste, almost more of a scent than a flavour. You will be aware of me, but not quite remember me without being reminded. Not that I’m boring; on the contrary, I’m just a little outside the ordinary. What Flavour Are You? |
That’s definitely me in a nutshell - there’s no denying it!! So you can clearly see what wonders the internet has brought us now! No longer do we need to go off and actually ATTEMPT social contact to find who we are at fourteen… Nor do we need to go out and buy a Porche and a crazy young stripper wife at thirty-nine…
We simply need to do an online quiz!
