Online quizzes are a popular form of entertainment for web surfers. Online quizzes are generally free to play and for entertainment purposes only though some online quiz websites offer prizes. Websites feature online quizzes on many subjects.

The largest knowledge-based quiz website online in terms of both traffic and quizzes available is FunTrivia. One popular type of online quiz is a personality quiz or relationship quiz which is similar to what can be found in many women's or teen magazines.Many online quizzes are set up to actually test knowledge or identify a person's attributes. Some companies use online quizzes as an efficient way of testing a potential hire's knowledge without that candidate needing to travel. Online dating services often use personality quizzes to find a match between similar members.

This on-line quiz uses some of the questions from the quiz scene that forms one episode in the game. The areas of science we touch on include astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, paleontology, physics, scientific biography and technology.There are also many online quizzes, many webmasters have quiz sections on their websites and forums, and some have included features which allow users to submit quizzes.

Most of the online quizzes are to be taken lightly. The results do not often reflect the true personality or relationship. They are also rarely psychometrically valid. However, they may occasion reflection on the subject of the quiz and provide a springboard for a person to explore his or her emotions, beliefs, or actions.

The origins of the word quiz are as difficult to pin down as the answers to some quizzes. We can say that its first recorded sense has to do with people, not tests. The term, first recorded in 1782, meant "an odd or eccentric person." From the noun in this sense came a verb meaning "to make sport or fun of" and "to regard mockingly." In English dialects and probably in American English the verb quiz acquired senses relating to interrogation and questioning.
