What Downton Abbey character are you? Where were you meant to live? You've seen them. What do you think the real purpose of these online quizzes are? They must be fishing for something!

Personal info, personal info and more personal info.

Tied to your IP address. And oh, give us your email for your results.

You gotta be way too bored or too lonely for these.

Maybe,but mostly I think its just silly fun. You know,like the quizzes to findyour elf name at Christmas ,or your steampunk name,etc.

Sadly, they are likely information gathering software. Whether they are nefarious is up to discussion.

And what exactly can one find out about you with your IP addy?

I'm guessing, Smaug, but i think the IP address pinpoints your city and maybe the zipcode, which is demographics info that could be sold to advertisers. There's a website that will show you the info connected with your IP.
