A Fun Zone's IQ Test & Quiz Page

There are plenty of quizzes here to amuse, entertain, and enlighten.  Most of them are geared toward academic puzzles and are great for high school and college students.   Definitely try these out!

Are You a Cyber-Geek?

Actually, this test has little to do with anything "cyber".  It's a test of knowledge of manners for formal dinner engagements.  I was glad I got as many right as I did; I guess I'm okay for someone to dress up and take out in public!  Available courtesy of MSNBC.

Are You a Good Sports Parent?

Do you help your child when s/he is on the field or in a sport, or do you unknowingly hinder their progress with well-meaning but subtle undermining words and actions?  Find out at this test instrument, available through MSNBC.

Are You a Real Woman/Man?

Although the answer seems obvious, this test purports to measure to what degree we adhere to the stereotypes of "masculine" or "feminine."  The results may surprise you.

Are You Made of Human Rubber?

A five-question test to determine how flexible you are, physically.  Acrobat or Brick?  You'll soon find out.  BTW:  I passed all five.  Guess I'm far more flexible than I thought!

CMHA Stress Test

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CHMA) has an index for measuring the degree of stress one may be experiencing in one's life.  Stress can be difficult to understand.  The emotional chaos it causes can make our daily lives miserable.  It can also decrease physical health, sometimes drastically.   Strangely, one may  not always be aware that one is under stress.  The habits, attitudes, and signs that can indicate problems may be hard to recognize because they have become so familiar.

The Career Interest Quiz

Interest quizzes are designed to narrow down career choice decisions,  predominantly used by high-school and college-age students in deciding what they want to do with their life.  This is one of two different interest surveys available at this update.  (In case you're curious, the reason I have so many available this time is that we have a Summer Youth program going on in our training school right now and I've been busy finding career and job placement sites for them to visit on the Internet.)

The Career Questionnaire

This is the other well-designed interest inventory for help in deciding what career path to follow.   This one is available through the popular College Board website.  This interactive survey allows you to narrow down the field by how much you rank external factors as well, including job growth potential, tolerance to level of noise, indoor vs. outdoor working preferences, and such other factors. 

The College Personality Quiz

Along the lines of the previous two tests, the College Personality Quiz is an 80-question test instrument that helps determine what type of college settings you would best perform in.  Again, this is probably geared more toward high-school juniors and seniors, but may be considered by anyone planning to attend or return to college.

The Communications Sensitivity Survey

A survey that measures how well you respond to communication cues and helps to define your particular communication processing style.  Results are not instant, but will be e-mailed to you. 

Father Knows Best

Here's a really interesting test.  What kind of father are you, or would you be if you were a father?  Are you more like Ward Cleaver (1950's) or Paul Reiser (1990's)?  Find out by taking the survey.

Feiger-Vos Online Personality Test

I'm not sure about this one.  Some of the questions seem "iffy" at best, but it is an intriguing concept.  Results are hand-graded and returned via e-mail.  Since I just took the test, I haven't gotten the results yet.  If they can come up with an accurate analysis from the questions they asked, I will be very interested in looking further into this instrument.

The Goofiness Test

A "just-for-fun" test; you'll laugh out loud at some of the choices.  Find out how "goofy" you are in the greater scheme of things.

Your Life as a Gorilla

And I thought I had seen everything on the "Ant" test.  Here's a personality test that measures what kind of gorilla you would be,  based on the personality traits of several gorillas from the Atlanta zoo.  Are you just a "monkey's uncle", or the "gorilla my dreams?"

The Inner Self Personality Test

It's always good to find a test that was lost at one time.  The Insight Personality Test is back at a new location.   If you've never taken it, or you want to try it again, here it is!

Making College Count:  The "Ready for Success" Evaluation

Here is another college-prep survey to determine how ready a person (generally school-age) is to "knuckling down" and preparing for a successful career.  Overall good test with interesting results.

The Mental Muscle Diagram Indicator (MMDI)

This is a new psychological test that is currently under development.  More people are needed to take it to validate it and help develop it further.  It looks to be very good; similar to but with a different focus from the MBTI.   Make sure you qualify (read the first part!) before taking the test. 

The Mother Game

Available in different versions for both men and women; find out how you relate to and how much your life was effected by that ever-important person:  Mom.

The Net Quiz

This one's not about the Internet.  A test for die-hard fans of networking; find out how much you know about Ethernet, protocols, and T1 lines.  Short; only 10 questions.

Personal Learning Styles Inventory

Researchers are finally discovering that success or failure in school may be highly dependent on one's personal learning style, and whether the needs generated by that style are being met.  Determine your method of learning, and how you can get it to work for you.

Puzz.com

You can find several IQ tests at this site, as well as analogy tests, trivia, contests, and games.

Richard Pearman's Personality Test

This is an experimental personality type test, in the sense that it's been designed to test a theory to  predict statistical difference between the sexes.   Based, yet again, on the MBTI archetypes.

The Steven King Quiz

Find out how much you know about the "Master of Horror Fiction's" works.   Must have Javascript enabled to work.

What's Keeping You Awake?

Have you ever had trouble sleeping at night?  It's estimated that most Americans do not get anywhere near the 8 hours a night of sleep that experts recommend.   Millions of us are kept awake by a wide variety of sleep disorders and syndromes.  The following quiz will help you assess whether you have a clinically diagnosable problem getting the sleep you need. 

The Weirdness Test

Find out how tainted you are. :)
