Facebook Quizzes: Are They Worth Your Time?

Who takes FB quizzes?

Facebook quizzes are rampantly increasing each day. I receive a number of requests daily for these quizzes and find myself having fun taking these quizzes though I find it’s choices often funny, kind of stupid and unrelated. For those who are busy and whose schedules are really tight, they never take the time to take these tests for which I agree with them. At times the result it gives seems favorable and realistic but everything is up to chances. The computer chooses it’s response based on a random order or at times the pattern of our choices. But there are also those which when you try it once more and you give your same answers the second time around, a different result occur which only proves that there is no fact with it. But for those who are bored with their lives you might as well try it and have some fun reading those questions and those fun choices that the quiz makers are to offer. Facebook quizzes have become so popular for the very reason that it only takes a minute or even less to finish one and for us who are naturally curious, we tend to be attracted with the subject matter of them.

    I ignore them for the most part, though some of my friends are constantly playing them. I just don’t have much time to do them and I am also worried about bad applications that come with nasty viruses.

  35. mo hoyal Says:

    My kids are sore at me, or were-they got over it-because I removed myself from facebook. I love this triond site because of the writing advantages and love to read what all of you write, but found fb to be a bit too social. I like Triond much better. Interesting read!

  36. Kimberly Wilson Says:

    I’m gonna give one of those quizzes a try!!!

  37. Write Easy Says:

    I dont like them! SUch a waste of time..I have lots of my friends addicted to these games especially the farmville and fortune cookie. It is an excellent way for Facebook to earn though! They do make it look very interesting.

  38. Avaxier Says:

  40. Matt Hall Says:

    I cant stand those quizzes and I don’t understand why they are so popular when they make no sense at all.

  41. Snooky Says:

    I take some of the quizzes. The summaries are dreadful most of the time. But they are a diversion. The only thing is I am running out of friends to list if i want an immediate answear
