Why You Should Take Online Personality Tests With Your Teen
My 10-year-old recently discovered a typical teenage entertainment that I remember thoroughly enjoying when I was a teenager and a teenager in the 90s: personality tests. Of course, in the 90s, you had to wait for the latest issue of Tigerbeat , Sassy, Seventeen or Cosmogirl to arrive in the inbox to get the quiz fix – and even then, they were pretty much age-irrelevant. (What kind of kissing person are you? Are you stuck in the “friendship zone” with your hobby? Are you obsessed with boys?) We went into these quizzes anyway, passing them off and taking turns analyzing our results. However, there are now countless personal quizzes available on the Internet. And as my 10 year old still doesn’t need to ponder kissing techniques, luckily many are much more quiz tamers you and your twin can enjoy taking together. About once a week, my son and I take out our laptops and sit down together to look for quizzes, and if you have teenage children at home, I suggest you do the same. Here are some of them that we liked:
- What character are you from Star Wars: The Clone Wars ?
- What pokemon are you?
- What kind of Minecraft character are you?
- What kind of nerd are you?
- What kind of deceiver are you?
- What Disney character are you?
- What kind of Avenger are you?
- Check your little things among us .
You can probably tell what his hobbies are based on these topics, but whatever your child’s interests are, there is bound to be an online quiz that matches that. What’s fun about taking these quizzes in tandem is that it’s the perfect, discreet way to spend time together, especially in the evening or if it’s raining outside and we’re bored.
We take a few minutes to discuss our results and whether we agree with what the other person got, which can create small moments of connection. ( “Do you have a pokemon” electric type? “And I would have called you a” water type “.” “I know, right? I’m the water.”) Point of pride for me, as he was pleasantly surprised by the depth of my knowledge “among us “ .
If you’re not sure which quiz topics to learn with your teenager, Kidzworld is a good place to start . They have everything from science and animal quizzes to career predictions and film tests.
