Many such online quizzes (also: what is your X name, based on your first & last names, birth year, city of residence, etc.) are very thinly disguised deanonymisation / classification systems.

There are 33 bits required to uniquely identify any individual on Earth. Since the userbase of any online service is already a far smaller subset (particularly when looking at active userbases), answering such a quiz (truthfully) is quite likely a way to specifically identify you. Even as little information as residential and work postal codes is effective at uniquely identifying 90% of a population.

The slightly less nefarious use is in classifying audiences for advertisers, though even this can be abused.

Information has value. Don't grant it casually.
