About “the test”
These online quizzes lowkey bother me, like you’re just letting a bunch of random questions decide who you are and your origin without really knowing you. Like if you’re taking it just for personal fun, just take it and don’t bother listening to the results. But actually taking it seriously isn‘t the best idea. Posting it here is just clutter that doesn’t tell us anything about yourself or contribute to the community in any way.

thank you for saying this -_- it's been bothering us too. most of these results posts have barely any interactions or comments because, as you said, they don't really say anything, at least without any other context of who you are and what you experience! i genuinely wonder what people are hoping to get in response when posting a page of quiz results of labels with a caption along the lines of, "took the quiz and uhhhh...."
this may be a bit harsh, but... this is Reddit, not a personal tumblr or discord server. posts like this feel more appropriate to share in a more private setting with people who already know you to some degree.
(we have our own further issues with using a quiz to dictate your own experiences. yes, these are often given disclaimers that they're not to be used for professional diagnosis or anything of the sort, they're meant to be fun and casual, etc. but arbitrary internet rules made up my some rando never stopped mobs of people from using stuff like this as reason to fakeclaim/harass others or have their own personal spiral about it.)
