I’m constantly amazed at all the free stuff available on-line. My latest find – quizzes and tests. For example, I’ve found that I’m an INFP Myers-Briggs personality type, and “pretty moral” from the Robin Hood Morality Quiz.

Yea, many of these “free” tests are designed to just get my contact info. Once I swam passed the sharks, though, I found a lot that were legit, from places like:

  • newspapers and magazines – such as CNN, Psychology Today, Oprah and, oh yes, even my new friends at AARP ( I just turned 50, for all you new readers.)
  • researchers at universities or other organizations gathering data
  • helpful organizations such as religious groups or Alcoholics Anonymous
  • developers of tests who are refining them through data acquisition
  • computer geeks
  • marketers showing you a little of their product in the hopes that you’ll purchase the souped- up version. These are sharks, but of a higher class. They at least give a little.

If you want to find out more about yourself, I’ve compiled a list of links. Dive in. These should not have annoying pop-ups, etc.

Find any of these to really be sharks? Know any others to add to the list? Leave a comment or e-mail me.
