Amazing that hundreds of thousands finished the test and about 200 people finished the test while I was making it. I wish I had so many participants.

People love to be told things about themselves, even if not particularly accurate or reliable, like a Magic 8-Ball. Tests like this benefit greatly from the network effect as people want to compare scores with friends and family.

The magic of front page of HN is usually a few dozen additional hits per hour. Sometimes it might get into the hundreds for something really relevant to the specific crowd here, but I doubt that this particular issue is that high-interest for HN. Actually R'ing TFA is still a very high bar!
