I took this quiz titled, "The Cast of 'Rent: Live' Took Our 'Which Famous Musical Are You?' Quiz, and Now You Can Too," due to my interest in Broadway, especially musicals. My family always goes to see these shows together, so I thought it would be interesting to compare our results due to our pretty common taste in Broadway. This is why I sent this quiz to my family group chat of 8, and found pretty triggering results. For example, 6 out of 8 of us got the same result.  This was surprising to me because we shared some of our answers and chose different responses. I thought that by having different responses, we would draw different results. The show the six of us got was The Book of Mormon, and the other two got Cabaret and Hamilton. 

Additionally, something that was interesting to me were the descriptions given for each show. My aunt, who got Hamilton as her result, did not relate to any of the "descriptions Buzzfeed gave to her." This got me thinking about how these quiz makers create their quizzes. Furthermore, my grandma and I both got The Book of Mormon, but chose two different answers to imperative questions. I'm now curious about what specific question and response combination results in a given show. I wonder if these quiz makers think that people actually believe the results and descriptions they are given, or just think that people do the quizzes for fun and don't actually care about what the result may be. I personally enjoy completing these quizzes because they get time consuming and addictive, and sometimes the descriptions to the results I choose mirror exactly who I am. However, there are other times when the description is nothing like me, similar to the way my aunt reacted to her result with Hamilton's description today.
