Quizzes Go Viral

Jo Bryant, , , ,

I have a friend…read further and you’ll know who you are !

Not often does a day go by lately without she posts something that says: “I got…” Today it was “I got You Belong in the 80’s.” She wanted to know which decade she belonged in. Which naturally we ALL do !!!

To do this she had to answer a series of questions.

  1. Pick a colour
  2. Pick a slang term
  3. What’s the best cartoon show ?
  4. Pick a power clique
  5. How do you take pics ?
  6. Pick a movie
  7. You’re running late for work. What do you do ?
  8. What’s your favourite fashion accessory ?
  9. What would you do if you won the lottery ?
  10. What’s your vice ?

Of course you have a set of 9 answers for each question to pick from.

Naturally I followed the link [research for this post of course] and answered the questions.

My answers were:

  1. Purple
  2. Daddy-O
  3. Scooby Doo
  4. The Pink Ladies from Grease
  5. With my IPhone [which isn’t actually an IPhone at all].
  6. Across The Universe
  7. It will be OK  🙂
  8. Cat-eye glasses
  9. Get a sweet vintage ride
  10. Sweets

Turns out…I belong in the ‘60s!

What you would give to experience Woodstock back when. But seriously, if you could throw sexy, psychedelic parties in tribalistic communes your whole life, you would. Oh, wait…

All in the name of research you understand !!!!

yeahhh-smiley

It seems the WWW has gone a little mental with silly quizzes that tell us where we belong. On Buzzfeed you can find out everything from what your fate would be in The Hunger Games to…what kind of dog are you ?

You think I am kidding ??

DEATH

I got Death in The Hunger Games. I succumbed to a career in the final showdown. I almost made it. I was THIS close! Unfortunately, I couldn’t overtake the career I ended the games with. The good news is I was so popular with viewers that they made an action figure out of me. Neat ! – great news !! Who wouldn’t want to be a DEAD action figure ??????

great dane

Seems as dogs go, I am a Great Dane…oh yes I am. I am so humble I don’t notice how much I stand out in a crowded room. [Lot of good it does me as a DEAD ACTION FIGURE] I am extremely smart [yet I’m a DEAD action figure…how does that work ???] but are still approachable due to my warm demeanor. I’d probably make a great pediatrician or duchess of Cambridge.

[No wonder my career got me killed in The Hunger Games]

Check out Buzzfeed’s QUIZZES section. I got tired of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.

These quizzes are generating more comments than almost anything in Facebook’s history.  Buzzfeed has a team that numbers about 100 making sure that around 5 quizzes a day are put out at the moment.

Hey GIRLFRIEND…you know who I am talking to !!! Did you hear that…FIVE  a day !!!!paranormal-cativity-07

So…if you…like millions of other people are trying to answer the age old question of “who am I ?”, Buzzfeed is more than willing to help you out in case you are having trouble working it out yourself.

Me ?? Well I am going to grab my bellbottoms, hop in the combi and head to the beach while I listen to The Beatles. After I find out which Beatle I actually am of course.

  1. Lol…I kinda hoped you weren’t talking about me… >.< But hey, sometimes the quizzes can be fun, and seriously, I totally get why you had to do them in the name of research. The decade, yeah, I could see you being a hippie. I wouldn't have guessed Great Dane, though. And I haven't taken the Hunger Games quiz. Yet. 😉

    1. Glad to hear you enjoyed them Christine. Hope you found a good quiz. Me – well, I am back from the beach, the bellbottoms are in the wash, the combi in the drive, and it seems I am: LATE 60’s Paul McCartney [I did say I had to do the Beatles quiz before I left]…and…I have a friendly, upbeat demeanor, but I can get very frustrated when other people don’t live up to the high standards I’ve set for myself. I can’t help but be very ambitious. I’m a very romantic person, and put a lot of emphasis on love in my life. Hmmm…late 60’s McCartney…oh now I get why I saw some big yellow thing floating around off the beach. Also probably why these lyrics make perfect sense to me.

      See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.

      Coo coo, kachoo.

    1. I love Stevie Nicks…love, love, love her and would kill for HER style. I just went and did: What kind of cheese are you which seems like a very important question to know the answer to. Don’t you think ???
      I am…wait for it…Swiss Cheese
      Oh yes I am…and…
      My beauty is in myholes. [Don’t I know it] All my nooks and crannies are filled with secrets and special talents. I am one of a kind. Mustn’t let anyone call me a crater face, because my imperfections make me more wonderful than anyone else. Also, I need to believe in my faith, after all I was made HOLEY.
      Now I know that it might be time to do the ‘Sandwich quiz’ and find out where I should stick my swiss cheese.
