The following is a personality test to see what kind of person you are.
Psychologists have found numerous pointers as to what kind of person one is, from just things we take for granted.
For instance, observing a picture for a short period is enough to know what kind of personality one has. Are you optimistic, creative or just stable. This personality test is not scientific, and its main purpose is simply to have fun.
Quiz using pictures of different cities. Useful as a starter on a unit about cities. Is also useful to get pupils looking for clues in images to help locate them somewhere in the world.
