Reading the fine print: a six-question quiz

In a group notice or a short reply, what do you actually know, and what are you only guessing?

  • Each question has one right answer, and the result page explains each one.
  • You can skip a question you’re unsure of.
  • Your answers exist only on this page and are not saved. Reloading starts from the beginning.

Here there is a right answer

Unlike the other quizzes on this site, this one has a single right answer for each question. You read something you might come across in daily life, such as a group notice, a set of house rules or a short reply, and choose what you can say for certain from that text alone.

What decides the right answer is only what the text actually says. The rule of the quiz is to add nothing from common sense or guesswork. It is not a test of what you know about Korean culture; it is about telling what is written apart from what is assumed.

Read each question to the end, too. Some ask what you can say for certain, and others ask what the text leaves open.

What the number you got right means

Your result shows how many questions you got right and, for each question, your answer, the right answer and a short explanation of why. If you picked a wrong answer, you also see what that answer gets wrong about the text, so you can check the reasoning and not only the outcome.

The number you got right is a result for these particular questions and nothing more. It does not measure your reading ability, your Korean, or how much you know about the culture.

When you are not sure

You can skip a question you are unsure of, and skipped questions are listed separately in the result. Once you have seen your result, you can start over and try again.

The answers are not given away here. Work through the questions first, then check them against the explanations. How it works explains how this quiz differs from the others.

The same questions also come at the end of How you communicate if you choose the version of that survey that adds the group situations and this quiz.
