Too Complex to Be Categorized
eHarmony is one of the multitude of dating sites out there, but it has a unique angle--to register, you must complete a number of prescreening personality tests. As Wikipedia puts it:
Prospective eHarmony members complete a proprietary questionnaire about their characteristics, beliefs, values, emotional health and skills. Matching algorithms . . . which the company believes matches people's core traits and values to replicate the traits of happy couples, use these answers to match members with compatible users.I have a friend who registered and completed all of the questionnaires, then was given the result that he was too complicated for their algorithms and couldn't be matched with anyone, and thus couldn't use the service. He was understandably frustrated by the experience, but I've always been a little bit jealous that he could genuinely achieve that result.
Well, I now have my answer. (Even if it is much more superficial). I did a quick quiz meme to find my Dewey Decimal Section, and my first result is "Unassigned."

I'm too much for Dewey! :-)
The quiz gave me two secondary (though repetitive) results; they are slightly different, but still focused on "General Works" like encyclopedias and things that don't really fit in the other categories:
Chris Koppenhaver's Dewey Decimal Section:

This makes me very happy.
