As someone who has never taken, and will probably never take, a Buzzfeed quiz: I think it probably risks the same kind of sampling bias. Not sure what the best way to overcome this is. Joke: government mandated surveys with monetary punishments based on your net worth if you fail to take them.

Unless you make survey taking a society wide, randomly sampled, civic duty -- like jury duty -- you're always going to be vulnerable to some biases.
