Supposedly it will describe your personality to a T.  I hate forwards with a passion, but decided to check it out… So I went to the site, typed in Josh and the result was:

Josh is a fun loving guy really funny and can make anyone laugh. He is very quiet at first and seems shy but when you get to know him you will fall in love. He has very good style and always looks handsome. He also always smells really good :)

Does this describe my personality to a T? I won’t say. But, I did type in some of my friends names and the descriptions were spot on!
