Silly Quizzes

On a visit to Mom-In-Scrubs' blog I came across the following quiz and just for fun I took it too. It seems both MIS and I are positively smashing at English. However having done that one I just kept going because deep down inside I have a real competitive streak wen it comes to silly quizzes. In no other area of my life do I even hint at competitiveness - but put a quiz in front of me and I go all starry-eyed and become desperate to share the insane amount of useless information I have acquired over my very interesting(?) life. I am such a nerd. But I am proud to be. Take some quizzes with me whydon'tcha?

Your result for The Commonly Confused Words Test...

English Genius


You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!


Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

Then I took the "Which Harry Potter Character Are You?" test. My scores were actually as follows:
7 Potterness, 12 Grangertude, -24 Malfoyism, 7 Weasleyness, 0 Lunatude and -1 Longbottomness!

Only -1 for Longbottomness - they've obviously never seen my bottom!

Yes I'm Hermione - a by-the-book-know-it-all-who-likes-to-hang-out-with-the-guys. As I have already admitted my love of useless information - who else could I have been? I swear if JKR ever publishes Hogwarts: A History I will be first in the queue to but it!

Your result for Another Harry Potter Character Test...

Hermione Granger


"I read about it in Hogwarts; A History!"


The bookworm of all groups, you're the one everyone turns to when they have a question. You don't care much what others think of you, and are pretty darn smart! You're die hard loyal. When it comes to school, you dot your i's and cross your t's.

Then I thought just how astute am I? and whaddaya know there was a quiz for that too.

Your result for How astute are you?...

Fast-witted Fox

87% Astute


You're certainly clever, but maybe you're just a bit too quick at answering. Did you add up the pieces of fruit in each answer? Did you count the number of mothers? Did you continue reading to find the last "cow"? You've done really well, though, so go and have some chocolate to celebrate!

They even knew how much I love chocolate - surely these are the wisest quizzes ever!

In the early 80's when I was in secondary school I was very into The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. I know I read at least 4 of the 5 books. But that was back in the 80's and I can't remember as far back as breakfast-time with ant clarity. I have to say I guessed a pile of these answers. Still it's good to be a Hoopy Frood. That is good right?

Your result for The How Well Do You Know Douglas Adams, and Hitch Hiker's Guide Test...

Ford Prefect

You scored 74 % Knowledge!


You're a hoopy frood from a far out planet, you know Betelgeuse Seven from Magrathea, but may slip up on more difficult questions. Perhaps you only know one version of the Hitch Hiker's Guide, or slipped up on Douglas Adams knowledge... nevermind, you are clearly a true fan with some serious knowledge and that's what counts.


Please rate my test as it is entered in the 'Geekery' contest, if I get bad ratings I will try to improve the test, feel free to message me with any feedback. Thanks

It was at this point that I'd even bored myself and the need for tea overtook me.

Oh, thank goodness I'm a genius, too, otherwise I would have had to stop being your friend.

And don't worry, those kinds of things bring out my competitive side, too ; )

Mom In Scrubs said...

I'm a quiz geek too. I'm Harry Potter though, go figure. And only 64% astute, darn you!

And since I don't know anything about HGG, I didn't take that one.

What fun, thanks!

Whirlochre said...

I love the idea of being 87% astute.

Kiersten - I have no doubt you did far better than me! Thank goodness you're still my friend. I left a typo in the post - did you spot it?

Oh MIS - it's that roller-coastering adventurous side of yours that swung it toward Harry Potteriness. I am equally Harry/Ronish but ultimately a swotty geek.
As for HGG - I just used the wild-guessometer. That got me through many a school exam.

Whirl - I know! It's a gas concept isn't it - I guess I'm 13% clueless.
