Blogthings, the underlying math.
Using blogthings seems to be cool these days, but exactly what makes them cool? Perhaps its the amazing psychic abilities, or maybe its the ability to profile someone based on ten questions. Either way, blogthings have a lot in common with the Wizard of Oz. Blog things appear to be all knowing like Madam Cleo, but in the end, they’re just simple arithmetic. According to this blogthing, I act twenty -four, but who is it to judge me? Very simply, it is the opinion of some random programmer who submitted to blogthings. Each question has 5 choices, each choice is weighted with an integral value, 1-5, inclusive. Each question has an answer of each weight. ( they aren’t in any order ). When the form is submitted, 1 is subtraced from each answer to make the rage 0-5, then the answers are summed and the result is returned to the user. According to whoever wrote that quizz, conservatives are more mature than liberals… I can’t say I don’t agree. :)… I don’t deny that those things are fun, but I do think they’re funny…
