Everyone Has A Something They Use To Procrastinate – Here’s Yours
May 4, 2018
Let me guess – right now you probably have a tab open for Buzzfeed quizzes even though you should be paying attention in class, or doing your homework, or writing that essay that is due in a couple weeks. Buzzfeed quizzes are addicting, needless to say, especially when the results you receive are scarily accurate. You ask yourself, “how do they know exactly my personality by making a sandwich?” or “how do they know my height based on random options I choose?” The question I wanted to figure out: exactly HOW accurate are their quizzes?
I had myself and a friend take 10 personality quizzes to determine what percentage of Buzzfeed quizzes are truly accurate.
