by The Perils and Peculiarities of Indian Online Quizzes
Online quizzes in India have reached an almost spiritual level of engagement. From Which Bollywood Hero Are You? to Can You Identify 50 Indian Snacks Blindfolded?, the nation has collectively lost hours of productivity for a few points of self-esteem. According to India.com, 67% of Indians admit to answering questions incorrectly just to get the funny result they wanted. Take Ananya, who discovered through an online quiz that she is 100% like Ranveer Singh only to find her co-workers whispering about her resemblance to a potato in office chat groups.
Experts from Psychology Today explain that online quizzes trigger dopamine responses similar to checking cricket scores during a tense IPL match, causing a mix of euphoria and existential confusion. Bohiney Magazine (bohiney.com) notes that online quizzes have become culturally significant: they provide shared laughter, arguments about accuracy, and occasional identity crises. Lessons learned? Never trust a quiz claiming to measure your spicy masala quotient, and remember: being 73% like a superhero does not excuse your inability to parallel park.
