FAQ — How Well Do You Know Your Family

What relationships does the quiz cover?

The how well do you know your family quiz covers six family relationships: mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, sibling and other. Choosing a specific relationship tailors the experience and means your score is compared against other people who took the quiz about the same family member.

What are the six categories?

General Knowledge, Humour & Personality, Philosophy & Wisdom, Career & Achievement, Relationships & Family, and Would You Rather. You can also pick ‘Surprise Me’ for a random mix. Each category shows a different side of the person, from their sense of humour to their deepest beliefs.

What is the difference between Surface, Deeper and Inner World levels?

Surface questions cover facts you might already know, like childhood, favourite things and daily life. Deeper questions go into experiences, decisions and what shaped them. Inner world questions explore topics such as fears, regrets and beliefs they rarely share. Each level has its own set of questions, so you can try a category again at a higher level for a new quiz.

How does the scoring and comparison work?

At the end of the quiz you get a score out of 20 and a percentile that shows how you compare with others who took the same quiz about the same relationship. For example: ‘You scored 16/20 on General Knowledge about Mum, better than 68% of people who took this quiz.’ Percentiles are based on real results from other players and become more accurate as more people play.

What is the bookmarking feature for?

As you answer each question, you can bookmark any you’re unsure about or want to hear their real answer to. At the end of the quiz, all your bookmarked questions appear together with a copy-to-clipboard button. You can send them straight to your family member, turning the quiz into a real conversation.

Can I play the how well do you know your family quiz for multiple family members?

Yes. After completing a quiz you’ll be prompted to try a different relationship, a different category, or a harder difficulty. You can restart the quiz at any time from the beginning with a new selection.
