Somebody, somewhere, has to have code that churns these out. There sure are enough of them. It's got to be automated. Fill in a category (Serenity characters, Platonic solids, fruits, toes); name a bunch of things in that category; assign random qualities to each thing (the tetrahedron is assertive and dominant); push the button and a quiz pops out.
An advanced version of the code will search Wikipedia for you so that you don't have to know the names of anything in your category. That version also has language lookup tables so that it can assign questions having something to do with the qualities you listed. That costs money, though. The freeware version is random. There's a checkbox for whether or not you want it to give you repeatable results.
This would explain a lot.
To save aspiring quiz writers all this tedious pointing and clicking, I would like to announce that I am some guy in a coat, an octahedron, a kumquat, and the piggy who had roast beef.

I also happen to be the shooting star, the evening paper blowing down an alley, and the basket of chestnuts on the kitchen table. I am also the moon in the trees and the blind woman's tea cup.
