Are you for Bush or Kerry? and other Norwegian quizzes (Part II)
Many cultures show a preoccupation with personality and self-evaluation. Individuals in Norway are no exception to this, searching for information that would somehow clarify their position in the social world. Personality quizzes, if answered honestly, can serve as an immediate feedback mechanism, allowing the individual to privately reflect on his or her own characteristics and potential. In the same sense, these quizzes can also serve as a norming mechanism, placing human behavior within a defined category or spectrum that is culturally appropriate.
