There seems to be a great deal of interest from people in trying to find the best questions for their Facebook How Well Do You Know Me Quiz. I was talking with a co-worker today, Chrystyna, about our questions in our quizzes. She “made” some of hers up, suggesting that she was a culinary chef and once in the Marines. They were fun, but I chose to keep mine real. I think friends taking the quiz appreciate both approaches.

In light of the interest in what are the best questions, I offer 5 suggestions for creating yours.

  1. Choose topics that are from different times in your life. Pick something from childhood, the teen years, school, young adult, etc.
  2. The more real, the better. Sometimes, fact is more interesting than fiction. Being genuine is really appreciated.
  3. Be interesting. Include at least 3 or 4 things you have done or seen. Again, these things give your friends either a memory of you because they were there or tell others something they never knew about you.
  4. Have a mix of easy and hard questions. Easy in that most will know the answer and hard as in only a select few will get it correct. You don’t want questions that no one knows. People will like your quiz better if they see that the answers are in fact known by someone in your life.
  5. While the best questions are those that are revealing, use discretion! It is probably best not to divulge things related to past mistakes or bad decisions. Keep your revelations fun.

I’ve found this Facebook quiz fun to do and fun to participate in. If you have a great question you have either seen in one of the quizzes or used in your own, share it as a comment. I would say my fave question in my quiz was which song I sang in my first karaoke experience, probably because not many knew about that. No one that took my quiz were there that night. What questions would you ask?
