Do photographrs love personality tests more than other people?

I'm a photographer and I like personality tests, and when I see a funny one and send it over to my friends in Skype, I mostly get replies from my friends who are photographers. Most of other people ignore such messgaes (and yes, I know it is not a good idea to annoy my skype contacts by sending them links, but I cannot resist when I see something interesting).

Example - yesterday I have taken personality test composed by Dalai Lama and I have immediately sent it over to all my friends.

Are creative people more interested in exploring their inner world?

I think it's just you and those particular types of tests. I like personality tests, but I read up on David Keirsey and Isabel Myers based research instead of taking those short online quizzes.

You are also assuming that none of your Skype friends are creative. Photography isn't the only art, you know.

I never assumed that none of my skype friends are creative. I said that photographers may be more creative than other people in my contact list (my skype contacts are 40% photographers and almost 60% IT specialists, mostly programmers). But you're right, I guess programmers should be not less creative than photographers, maybe photographers just have more free time to reply to useless messages I send them

Well, my attitudes to such a test would be:
1) I don't give a damn
2) It is none of their (the company creating it) business

And as someone else has mentioned creativity - what is creativity anyway? A joke from my undergraduate time:
Mathematician 1: Have you heard about xyz who dropper maths and became a poet?
Mathematician 2: I'm not surprised, he wasn't creative enough to be a mathematician.

-> Fiddling with mathematical formulae or writing code would not be what most people would consider being creative, but it is.
(In case you are curious, I have a BSc in Mathematics and spent the last 3.5 years dealing with a combination of chemistry as well as some programming. But I have no idea when my thesis gets submitted... yet...)

I'd rather suggest something else:
Online media favours those with a slightly narcissistic streak - especially sites like Facebook and Twitter, these people would obviously like such "tests" to show how "good" they are.
This does not apply to forums by default because their primary motivation is not to "show off" but to share. Galleries such as Flickr or 500px can be used for both endeavours, to share or to show off or both.

I myself never go for those quizzes -- they show up on FaceBook a lot, i just ignore them.

I don't think it's about creativity, it's just about whether you want to spend your time doing thya kind of stuff!
