QUIZ RESULTS
WARNING:

Take into account that this test’s result does not wanto to tag you into
categories, but generate class discussions around your interests.
Keep it in mind when suggesting topics for the play.

If most answers in your class are a:

Your class is very energetic, teachers tell you you misbehave but they always like
going camping with you. When you have free time between classes or when you
meet outside school, you like playing physical games, doing sports, dancing, etc.
You are very good on Tik Tok, and on your group chat you share the best stickers
and memes.

Tip:
Keep in mind that humour has limits, before making a sticker using someone’s photo
or calling someone a funny name ask them if they care.

If most answers in your class are b:

Your class is witty and they like arguing. You hold long debates on certain
controversial topics. You don´t accept things you consider wrong, especially when
they are unfair. You help each other and are there to support everyone in the class.
You are good at editing videos and writing content for social media. Also, you like
reading and learning new things, you follow cool youtubers that most people don´t
know about.

Tip:
It is very important to remember that sometimes you are not right, it is never late to
admit you were wrong in those cases. It is good to listen to others carefully before
making an opinion on what they have to say.

If most answers in your class are c:

Your class is a unique and rare experience, all your teachers say something
different about you. Sometimes you feel a bit as outsiders, and you get tired of being
compared to other groups. You like telling jokes, but you don´t shout them, but
whisper them. You like “smart homor”, videogames and surfing the internet. You are
not the party type.

Tip:
It is great not to make yourself fit into a certain model and follow your own path.
However, to be able to surprise yourself, you could also allow yourself to discover
new things and get to know new people.

Do you agree with the results? What answer would you add?
How would you describe your own class? What “tip” would you give to your class?
