Online quizzes are quizzes that are published on the Internet and are generally for entertainment purposes.

Introduction

Online quizzes are a popular form of entertainment for web surfers. Online quizzes are generally free to play and for entertainment purposes only though some online quiz websites offer prizes. Websites feature online quizzes on many subjects.

One popular type of online quiz is a personality quiz or relationship quiz which is similar to what can be found in many women's or teen magazines.

Practical applications

Many online quizzes are set up to actually test knowledge or identify a person's attributes. Some companies use online quizzes as an efficient way of testing a potential hire's knowledge without that candidate needing to travel. Online dating services often use personality quizzes to find a match between similar members.

They are used by teachers to make pupils more interested in the subject matter.

Most of the online quizzes are to be taken lightly. The results do not often reflect the true personality or relationship. They are also rarely psychometrically valid. However, they may occasion reflection on the subject of the quiz and provide a springboard for a person to explore his or her emotions, beliefs, or actions.
