About the quiz

I love taking psychological quizzes. However, this does not mean that I believe all the results form these tests. I take the psychological tests not for the reason that I want to know myself more but for fun. If the result is good, positive, I’ll think that this quiz is accurate.( Even though sometimes it doesn’t really sounds like me, I’ll think that’s just because they are the personalities I haven’t developed yet.) If not, I’ll think this quiz is nonsense and throw it away as soon as possible.

Take the quiz I took during the class for example. It said that I am a complicated friend; it’s hard to pin me down as I am not easily categorized and I will change my behavior out of other’s expectations. I don’t agree on it. Perhaps due of the cultural background differences; it’s not suitable for me, a Taiwanese people, to take this test. No matter what, I don’t like this result and I think it’s inaccurate.

For another quiz I found, I think it’s quite accurate. As you can guess, I like the result. (Of course I do.) It’s a simple quiz. It has only one question: which colors do you like? I chose coffee. My result turned out to be that I am a responsible, stable and independent person. Although it may not be that accurate because it has only one question, I think it’s quite right. After all, I take a psychological quiz just for fun.

In my opinion, no matter the results are accurate or inaccurate, the most important is that you enjoy it. If you enjoy it, it’s worthy. If you find no interest on it, it’s a waste of time. After all, we take a psychological quiz not for criticism, judgment but for fun, for knowing more about ourselves. That’s what matters!

  2. Many people call that kind of quizzes psychological quizzes, but those quizzes are not "psychological". Real psychological tests are like IQ tests or World Health Organization Quality Of Life Questionnaire.
    You can still have fun with the results=)
