The very clever folks at the ACLU of Northern California have put out a Facebook quiz that helps users understand what quiz app developers can find out about them. Hint: it's a lot. This work builds on a June report on the same topic. Congrats!
Stanford Center for Internet and Society
In the heart of the Silicon Valley, legal doctrine is emerging that will determine the course of civil rights and technological innovation for decades to come. The Center for Internet and Society (CIS), housed at Stanford Law School and a part of the Law, Science and Technology Program, is at the apex of this evolving area of law.

Thanks for the hint about quiz app...
I hate the quizzes on Facebook, and their apps. I keep telling people to leave them alone, but they don't listen.
I just did the test, and it's quite informative.
But... I was just a bit disappointed that it didn't show an example at the end of what information it could pull from my profile.
That way I could also test if my privacy settings are put up right. But maybe someone else will do that later.
