perfidy

Over at Zoe Brain, I find a country quiz. A surprisingly accurate one, as it turns out:

You're the United States of America!

You were probably a big bully in school, and odds are that you're still a big bully. You make promises that you break, you manipulate everyone around you, and you're awfully materialistic. On the other hand, you're pretty inventive and have a really good sense of justice. You just never get around to applying the idea of justice to yourself. Incredible potential remains yours to take advantage of.

Seeing how good that one was, I just had to see if the state quiz was up to snuff. And, to my undying amazement, it got that right, too:

You're Ohio!

Why-o, why-o, why-o are you so bland? Despite being in a fairly interesting location with a fair amount of potential, most people are struck by how little about you is noteworthy. Of course you know there's nothing wrong with being average, and that's where most folks are anyway! You do have a flair for rock-n-roll, though you mostly prefer the old stuff. You have the unique trait of, at times, experiencing air as a brown solid. One of your names undoubtedly starts with the letter C.

Despite the accuracy of the quiz result, I am less than pleased with the state description offered here.

Taking the other quizzes, the University quiz resulted in a college I was planning to attend before I became drunk for five years; the animal quiz pegged me as human; and if I were a book, apparently I would be 1984. Not bad for a few random interweb quizzes.
