Some of them are pretty useless, but others I've found helpful.
Examples:
MSN had a "how's your relationship" quiz that was a complete and utter waste of time. It had questions like "your sweetie wants to go to the mountains for vacation, but you'd rather spend some time shopping in the city. Do you..." and then it had stupid answers that had more to do with the situation than with how you deal with it. It wasn't just that ratbastid wouldn't do x y or z as the quiz suggested in the questions, it was that the questions were phrased in such a way as to be completely irrelevant to a real relationship.
However, I find that some of selectsmart.com's quizzes are pretty useful. It was because of their pet selector that we looked for a chow mix and found our perfect pooch, and their religion selector has pointed me in a number of interesting directions learning about religious and philosophical beliefs that seem to mesh pretty well for me.
I think you have to consider the source and take everything with at least a grain or two of salt.
