‘Quizzes are best when you assume you know the answer but you’re wrong.’

In this article, feminist Sara Pascoe is asked about her love of quizzes. Asky why she likes them so much, she says 'Even if I get all the answers wrong, it’s a fun way of learning.' And when asked if she gets overcompetitive, she admits she does 'but it’s enthusiasm for joining in, rather than desperation to be the victor.'

Have you ever played Trivial Pursuits?

How do you feel about quizzes - are you very competitive?

Have a go with this short quiz on animals: (@Paulette)

I gave it a try with an amazing result, but to be honest I had to search on interet to find some answers. I am glad I know even more than before.

mheredge

I think I made two mistakes on the animals @Paulette. And for the geography quiz, I had to do quite a bit of research.

How about plants?

Why I discovered this topic only now ? I like quizzes too !
I've done the last one about plants and I score 8/10

Paulette

For plants I scored 9/10.

mheredge

I think I managed 8/10 - I made a mistake about oak trees which was stupid.

Vok

Clearly I don't know much about plants, only the half is answered right.

mheredge

Here's one you might like better @Vok. Let's see how much you know about British TV.

The online quiz is embedded in the article and might take a few seconds to load.

I'm afraid to say that of the 21/40 score I achieved, at least half were totally guesses.

Vok

WIth some luck I've only got 16 right answers for the TV quiz @mheredge .

mheredge

I was very lucky with my guesses @Vok. I think I would have got less than ten right otherwise.

Paulette

I stopped after the first ten were wrong.

mheredge

Here's a quiz about Christmas: http://www.christmastrivia.net/quizzes/easy-christmas-trivia (I managed 7/10).

http://www.christmastrivia.net/quizzes/difficult-christmas-trivia (oh dear, I only got 4/10).

Paulette

My score is 9/10 I didn't know the right answer on the las question.

mheredge

Try this art quiz (my score was only 32/60):

mheredge

This quiz on art is a fun way to learn: https://www.usefultrivia.com/art_trivia/

Cinzia80

@mheredge very funny test, but it doesen't give the result !

mheredge

Which one @Cinzia80? The last one doesn't give any information if you answer incorrectly, but gives a good explanation of the right answer. I just kept going till I found the right answer to each question!

Cinzia80

@mheredge Yea I refer to the last one. So it's made to learn and not to test our knoledge. I thought the test gives points result as the other.

mheredge

All I know is that since I got most wrong the first time, I was more interested in reading about the correct answer @Cinzia80

mheredge

Check out these desserts to see how international your palate is. I got one wrong. Macarons are made locally, so no surprise that I have often tried these. Trifle is very traditionally British.

@mheredge ahaha nice quiz !!!
This is my result:

You checked 13 out of 26 on this list!

You don't have international taste buds. You like to stick with the classics, and that's OK. You're a fan of cookies and cake, but you're not so eager to try new things.

You checked more than 13% of quiztakers.
Can your friends beat you?

mheredge

I love trying new things @Cinzia80.

Hermine

I was really good at the last quiz = I love trying out new things.
