Do you take those ridiculous "test" offered on the internet?

I'm talking about the type that say "are you a good kisser", "are you romantic", "are you sexy" and all the others that are out there only to get us to click on a link either buy something or join a site. Years ago when I got my first pc and didn't know any better I thought they would be fun to do but found out fast that they were basically ads and ended up giving me pop ups galore! Do you take those tests? Have you ever had any "luck" with them and had fun or did you have bad experiences with them?

To me those tests are rather a waste of time and sometime really make me mad. In the end, we don't get anything and we are not informed of the result or outcome.

No I do not because I get enough spam in my junk folder as it is and don't need to add anymore. I had to set my email settings at exclusive so I'd get only the emails that I deem safe and the one's off of my address list and nothing more.

Yes, it's the spam that I hate so much. I hate having a lot of emails and having to delete them all so I don't appreciate it at all.

I can't remember the site but I think it was called Tickles or something. I use to do those a while back just for fun and never took any of it seriously though :)

I signed on with Tickle a long time ago, ctry, and they had some fun tests, but I have become so busy doing other things that I have not been to their site for almost a year now. I particularly liked the feng shui test. I did pretty good on the IQ test as well.

I used to do these things all the time, and yeah they do just end up giving you millions of pop ups, its not too bad though now as I have a pop up blocker! But I do not do them anymore because you always end up having to sign up for something or getting hundreds of email offers from everywhere!

the only types of "Tests" i will take are surveys and they have to be giving money or points to get stuff. That is what I like if I am going to take my time to answer questions I want it to be for Surveys, I am just too old and have been married TOO LONG to take those types of silly cosmo tests.

When I am extremely bored, I do them to pass the time, and usually get a laugh out of the answers, but I do not take them seriously, they are for entertainment only.
