In the spirit of an online quiz -- that is to say, always accurate and scientific -- we've whipped up our own descriptions of the stereotypical personalities attributed to the Twin Cities' most popular lakes. Which lake are you?

If you're so tan that you look like a hot dog:

You are Lake Calhoun. This lake is party central, the place to dig and be dug for beach bunnies, jocks and tattooed hipsters. This trendy melting pot welcomes anyone who wants to play with the popular kids. But may we suggest some sunscreen?

If you're a triple iced venti half-caff skim macchiato:

You are Lake of the Isles. More sedate than others in the Chain of Lakes, Isles is known as the place for yuppies with puppies, the perfect place to parade your purebred. Picturesque Isles is ideal for the upwardly mobile young and monied. It also attracts mansion-oglers, for good reason.

If you're pushing a Bugaboo baby stroller:

You are Lake Harriet. Upscale and family-oriented, Harriet sports a charming bandshell and is the perfect stop for young moms, or for kids between lacrosse practice and viola lessons.

If your boat is bigger than their boat:

You are Lake Minnetonka. Truly the prince of lakes, Minnetonka and its many prestigious bays are an exclusive playground for the wealthy (or for those pretending for the day). So take a spin in your yacht. Indulge in a lakeside picnic with champagne. Just behave better than a Viking, please.

If you're proud of your rusty Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon:

You are Lake Como. This lake is solid, reliable, hard-working. Some might dare to call it bland, but vanilla is still the most popular flavor in the world.
