I have found some recently, like the forty question tests that seem to be decent. I won't get into the ones that claim you are a flaming idiot no matter what you answer. I mean the fun ones.
Anyone else?

The ones I find really fascinating are the personality tests usually offered by the online dating services.
In grad school I had my complete profile tested for team assignment purposes. HBDI, MBTI, communications style, negotiating tactics, leadership assesment etc... etc... It's actually a cool exercise, you really learn what turns your crank intellectually and emotionally. Thus you can protect yourself from manipulation while you learn the framework for manipulating others.
The dating service quizzes are quite reflective of these tests and free. I understand the professionally administered instruments cost quite a bit of money.

The ones i usually find are the math and spatial relationship questions. Those are pretty fun. I used to buy the puzzle books like the math ones and the logic problem books, but as i get older, i find the SAT style math questions more and more interesting. Sometimes i actually remember what Venn diagrams and such are all about.
The "like" and "is" statements (Clinton not withstanding, lol) are kinda easy if you have a decent vocabulary. Those aren't as fun to me, but they are usually included.

I may have geeked out here, lol. Comics, sci-fi books, fantasy books, puzzles...
if it weren't for the fact that i am a large white southern married male, i would fit waaaaay to many stereotypes.
