Reviews

[Applemily]

This was really interesting even though I just did it by myself. It would probably be really funny and exciting to do with a few friends and also give each other insights into each other's personalities. There were a few results that I really hadn't seen coming and others that I could have easily guessed the result of before taking the quiz. All in all, it was fun to go through this book and would be more fun to do so with a few friends.

Firstly, it's primarily for a western audience. If you're from other cultures, many of the questions would probably not apply or resonate. Secondly, many questions only have cookie-cutter answers that not everyone will select. Thirdly, some questions are just dumb. For instance, in a quiz asking about how people perceive you, one of the questions simply asked, if your friends could describe you, what would they say? DUH. How would you know?!
