Not gonna say useless, but rather poorly implemented. To me it just comes across as a more annoying trait randomizer with less freedom since you're stuck with whatever you get even if you don't like the result. Getting different funds, skills, and careers is nice, but I hate that you're forced to use the traits that result from that stupid quiz.
The whole thing would have been better implemented imo if in addition to the traits randomizer, they allowed the option to randomize a career, skills, and starting funds with no silly little quiz AND the OPTION to edit the results you get if you don't like them.
