Welcome, Spuds! Today, we're diving headfirst well, let's say, "potato-first", into the world of your Reactancy, a sophisticated term we've borrowed from psychology but then unceremoniously battered, deep-fried, and served up with a side of offbeat humour! By the end of this quiz, you'll discover your 'Potato Reactancy' - a range from a simple 'tater tot' to the inexplicably complex 'fully loaded baked potato'.
Now, how about we mash this up and get started?
Question 1: A friend shows up to your house unannounced. Do you:
Immediately think of the extra cleaning you'll have to do and the preparation of late-night snacks (you're a true couch potato after all!), and identify with the
Panicked Parboiled Potato?Get excited about the surprise and immediately go fetch your collection of potato chips to celebrate. You're a definite
Enthusiastic Early Rose.Feel indifferent because you're already sitting there like a seasoned 'tater waiting for Sunday roast. That's the reaction of a genuine
Chilled Chip.
Question 2: Your boss assigns you a new project at work with a tight deadline. Do you:
Fire up with the energy of a freshly baked 'slammin’ sweet potato! You quickly plan your schedule, start working on the project, and probably finish it before the deadline with extra cheese-bacon topping. Yeah, you're a
Pumped-up Purple Majesty.Half-heartedly agree but already start planning your sick leave email draft. Hi, you must be a
Disinterested Desiree.Think this as an opportunity to showcase your skills and turn the challenge into a chance to shine. Nothing says "bring it on!" quite like an
Adventurous All-Rounder Maris Piper.
Question 3: You see a spoilt child at the supermarket throwing a tantrum because they want a toy. Do you:
Feel a sudden urge to give parenting advice and put this tot in his place while dreaming of better-behaved French fries. That's quite the
Responsibly Roasted Russet!Take an extra-long look at the candy aisle, suddenly finding toffees fascinating. That's some classic
Distant Desireereaction.Sigh and empathize with the parents, relating to your own 'bad peel' days. Ah, the classic
Empathetic Edzell Blue.
By tallying up your responses, assign the numerical value 1 for every Potato Answering as Parboiled Panic, Early Rose, Disinterested Desiree or Responsible Russet. Similarly, assign a 2 for every Purple Majesty or Distant Desiree. And finally, a value of 3 for every Chilled Chip, Maris Piper or empathetic Edzell Blue.
Based on the sum, here are your results!
9-13: Congratulations, you're a golden, crispy ‘tater tot'! Your reactancy is as straightforward as a salt and vinegar chip!
14 -17: Woah there, Yukon Gold! You're pretty consistent, but you do have those blips (or should we say 'dips'?) that add some spice to your reactancy!
18-20: Fully loaded baked potato alert! If anyone knows how to handle sour cream, it's you. Your reactancy spectrum has all the trimmings and varies more than the frequency of potato puns in this quiz!
Now go on, dear Spuds. Embrace your inner potato and get the reactor running. Also, no worries if you feel a bit fried after this. We've done our job then. Plus, we'll be back soon, maybe with a corn-on-the-cob reactancy quiz? Now wouldn't that be a-maize-ing?
