Quiz yourself on 25 commonly misspelled words! Right here. How’d you do?
(To my horror, I missed two.

Pop? Soda? Coke? Soft drink?
Wash or warsh? Creek or crick? Carmel or cara-mel?
Here’s a quiz about regional differences in speech and language. See if the quiz can predict where you’re from. Take the quiz here.
When I took it, the quiz correctly guessed at my peripatetic past. Born in upstate New York, moved overseas at a young age, college in the midwest and Texas, grad school in the northeast, married a die-hard Texan, moved to the Pacific Northwest… No wonder I’m so confused.

We already know I compulsively take online quizzes. Here’s one from my e-mail. Rumor has it Dr. Phil did this test on Oprah, but I have no idea whether or not that’s true. It’s still fun enough, ten simple questions, so grab a pencil and paper, keeping track of your letter answers to each question.
Answers are for who you are now — not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. Don’t peek, but begin the test as you scroll down and answer.

OVER 60 POINTS : Others see you as someone they should handle with care. You’re seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don’t always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS : Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who’s quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. T hey see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who’s constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who’ll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who’s extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to kno w you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn’t want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don’t exist. &nbs p;Some people think you’ re boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren’t.
