Quizzes
Everyone loves quizzes, but why?
Well, it seems that our passion for quizzes comes from the fact that they are an insight into our own life story and that, deep down, human beings find comfort in being a type, in being part of some group. We are always searching for a better understanding of ourselves, of who we are as human beings, but also as unique individuals.
One of the reasons why personality quizzes are so popular is that they are a way for us to dig deeper into our inner selves and get to know ourselves.
Steven Myers, a professor of psychology, explains about quizzes, “you could introspect and think about yourself, however that has its limits… when we take these self-assessments, they give us another mirror inward.”
Although we are all unique and original beings in our individuality, no one can deny being reassured when they feel they are part of a group, a type, in some way. We naturally feel good when we fit into a box, and personality quizzes offer exactly what we are looking for: confirmation that we fit a certain type, just like millions of other people.
