Was curious how a personality test would look for developers. So created this using FastAPI, HTMX, and AlpineJS.

Are these quizzes AI generated? This is the second one I've seen here in two days and I don't even answer the first question because it doesn't apply to me. 2am? I'm in bed before 10pm. Even if I change the time, none of the answers apply either.

Why is AI generating multiple choice answers instead of evaluating free form text replies anyway?

No they are generated at build time (static). I was thinking of generating on the fly but wanted to release and get feedback first. Re. multiple choice, is easier than typing I guess.
