Politics and Culture Guru

From Timbuktu to Tijuana, you know all about world culture and politics. You've seen it all, and what you haven't seen, you watched on one of the "smart people channels." Your friends tell you that you should run for governor. What people love: You've always got a great story to tell. What people hate: You make them feel like ignorant plebians. Sometimes you slip and CALL them plebians.

Book snob... Out of the possibilities, it fits best. :D

You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every book ever published. You are a fountain of endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and never fail to impress at a party. What people love: You can answer almost any question people ask, and have thus been nicknamed Jeeves. What people hate: You constantly correct their grammar and insult their paperbacks.

You know which wines go best with which foods, and you can make New York City's finest sommalier feel like a kid at a keg party. You wanna take that Emeril guy and beat him with a stick, but really - you've got more class than that. What people love: You know the best restaurants and what their specialties are. What people hate: Every waiter in town wants to mangle your pretentious ass.

This quiz is so utmost trivial that it makes my ears bleed. Every line waves its category at you like there is no second question to be answered. Anybody who did not know which categories where available after the seconds friend's invitation should start to worry immediately.

A shining example of many:

You've got the chance to meet a dead person. Who's it gonna be?

   Adolphe Duglere (patron chef at the Emporers Dinner in 1867)
   Michelangelo Buonarroti (painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel)
   Ferdinand Magellan (sailed 44,000 miles total to places no one had ever seen)
   Ludwig van Beethoven (18/19th century composer who wrote masterpieces despite his deafness )
   Edgar Allen Poe (prolific 19th century author, most famous for The Raven)

Anybody but the first name would be a crying shame for anybody not to know, so why the explanations?

  supported. >:( :-\
 
  there are some decently-put-together quizzes out there, and this one's far, far, sadly far from the top.  (although if you check, say, okcupid, you might find that it's also far from the bottom.)
 
  especially unfortunate:

Hehe. I also found that one quite amusing.

No, he did not discover that continent, he just confirmed what the locals have known for thousands of years.

 I am devestated that both Rrb & Jester did not like the quiz. :'(

 I do agree with Jester that the quiz does lead one to an unsurprising conclusion and if the names of the dead have to be explained then you are not much of elitist, but still I thought it appropriate for this group, after all, you can't get more elitist than the BG 1 & 2 modders.

Fine art and decor expert

Name the era, and you can name every artist from it. You've got an eye for design and a knack for feng shui. Color schemes, architecture, and objt d'art - these are all your forts. What people love: You're the perfect person to shop with. What people hate: They have to clean their house whenever you come over.

  i just think it's taking on too much at once.  i'd much rather see a "what kind of food snob are you?", a whole quiz for each category.
