Q: I can't find the quiz! Where is it?
A: Click the button below to go to the quiz page.
Q: Something isn't working right for me, what should I do?
A: If you're having trouble and using a computer, make sure your browser is up to date or try using a different browser to take the quiz.
Q: I don't want to use a different browser or device. Can't you just fix it?
A: Maybe, but I'll need your help. If you're having problems and want to help me fix it, then please send me a screenshot of what you are seeing, and include details on what you're using to view the quiz (eg, a laptop running Windows 10 and Firefox 55, or an iPhone 6 using Safari, etc).
Don't know how to take a screenshot? Here are some easy instructions. But I bet you already know how to do that, don't you?

Q: Ok, I took your stupid quiz. How come my score wasn't what it should be?!
A: I don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you don't like your results, you can take it again. Try choosing different answers the next time, especially for questions you weren't how to answer or maybe changed your mind about after the first time through.

Q: What are the right answers to the questions?
A: This isn't a school quiz with right and wrong answers, and the score isn't going on your permanent record. So just relax, have fun, and answer the questions in whatever way seems best to you.
Q: Can I take the quiz more than once?
A: Sure, take it as many times as you want!
Q: Do you ever update the quiz with new questions and stuff?
A: I do, but it has been a long time. Before you ask why, here's the short version of the answer:
In September 2012, I was offered a fulltime employee position at the company I had been contracting for. I accepted the offer and moved all the way from Illinois to California a month later. Between work and being overwhelmed by the sheer number of things there are to do out here compared to where I used to live, I haven't had as much time to work on hobbies. That said, I just completed some boring technical updates in August 2017 and am hoping to squeeze in a content update before the end of the year.

Q: Some of the questions didn't have an answer or option that was right for me!
A: Sorry about that! If you don't like any of the answers for a question, you can always choose the "other" or "something else" option. But in general it's best to try to choose the closest possible answer from the options provided, even if it isn't exactly what you would want. You can always suggest a new answer, too.
Q: I took the quiz and got a low score. Should I be worried?
A: Nah. It's just a quiz, and it's really just for fun. So no, you don't have to worry about it.
Q: Is this zombie apocalypse stuff really going to happen?
A: I don't think so, but anything can happen (and it doesn't have to involve zombies). If you're really worried about your chances of surviving a disaster, don't rely on the quiz to determine that for you - remember, it's just for fun. If you're still really worried, you might want to try learning some new skills like first aid, swimming, or fishing.
Q: I have an idea or suggestion for the quiz. Will you add it in?
A: Maybe! Send me your idea and we'll see.
Q: Who are you? Why did you make this quiz?
A: I'm Elisabeth. 👋🏼
I had the idea for the quiz back in 2008 and worked on the questions, answers, and scoring system for a few months before finally putting it online. It was just something I did for fun, and I still do it just for fun. I write all of the questions, answers, and manage the scoring. I also maintain the website and handle the front end design and layout junk. My partner-in-crime Adam is the genius responsible for the code that makes it all work.

Q: I want to make a quiz of my own. Will you tell me how the quiz works or share the quiz script with me?
A: Ah, no. Sorry!
Q: Will you link to my website?
A: I don't have a links page and I don't plan to add one. It's too much hassle to keep adding new links and checking the old ones to make sure they aren't dead or re-directing to some other site and what-have-you.
Q: My question wasn't answered here! Now what?
A: Well, I guess you'll have to ask me, then. :)
