Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3


I'm in a quizzy mood. I want to take tests had have them tell me things, so I've gone on an internet quest for the best book lover quiz. The following tallies the results (P.S. You can take each quiz yourself by clicking on the subtitles below):

Book Lovers' Quiz
I started with a website that promised to tell me what kind of a reader I am. There were 4 choices: eclectic, serial, exacting, or involved. I spent my 5 minutes answering their 10 or so questions only to discover...I fit equally in all four categories. Well, thanks a lot! That was super helpful.

Classic Lit Quiz
I moved on to this site which is supposed to test my knowledge of classical literature. Quiz is boring in that it wasn't that difficult, and I got a 100% but nothing happened. How could I feel happy with my success when there was no fanfare? No, must pursue other internet quizzes!

A Quiz That's Going to Tell Me Something
Okay, so this quiz purports to tell me whether I'll be a good writer or not, but get this---they expect me to have a paper and a pen! C'mon! The irony is not lost on me, but why would I take a quiz on-line if I can't click buttons and have things automatically calculate? No, I am not sated! The superior internet quiz about writing/reading has still not been found!

A Satisfying Quiz
So, you're supposed to answer questions about an author's work to deduce his/her identity. I was able to figure out the author's identity, but the quiz itself was still very challenging even though I had read most of this author's books. This site has definitely whetted my appetite. I decide to try a few more.


C.S. Lewis Quiz

Now this quiz was great! Informative (several great quotes and background info on author as you go along) and challenging enough to make right answers satisfying! I think I will just declare This Literature Quiz site the undisputed champion!

Go on and test your book learning or suggest other fun quizzes!
