Well, sure, but some things have a more definite psychological meaning than others. Your interest in math, science, writing, etc. implies that you are an intellectual moreso than does your preference for the color yellow.

I had always assumed it was a team of writers, although I was sure that she influenced it. That's interesting to note. I don't believe Rowling is a good quiz writer in that case (although still a good novelist). Quiz writers should never rely on questions that have such loose implications.
