QUIZZING

‘Quiz’ is a word not much used by the common public. Although considered to be a word or a phrase associated with high IQ people, there is a quizzer inside everybody. Let us now the origin of this great word “Quiz”. Dublin theater manager James Daly (late 18th century) bet that he could invent and introduce a new meaningless word into the language almost overnight. He proceeded to pay Dublin urchins to chalk the word quiz on every wall in town. By morning all Dubliners had seen the word, and because no one knew what it meant, the meaningless "quiz" soon became the word for a test of knowledge. Online quizzes are the topic of the hour and 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 occasionally reflecting on the subject of the quiz and provide a springboard for a person to explore his or her emotions, beliefs, or actions.
