Description
Find out what makes you tick in 20 psychological quizzes. Written by popular children’s author Alice Harman and illustrated with the bold, geometric artwork of Blok Magnaye, Who Do You Think You Are? takes you on an interactive tour of the history and study of psychology through its most prominent tests.
After a science-based exploration to establish what exactly personality is and the different ways it can be measured, test yourself to discover your personality types and traits, intelligence, creativity, unconscious, and most importantly, whether you are more like a pizza or a salad. Each chapter begins with a discussion based on modern psychology that sorts out the fact and fiction behind the different tests. Find out:
- Which of the four ancient Greek humours is most dominant in your personality (If you’re a great listener and avoid arguments, you might be Phlegmatic.)
- How you prefer to think and learn with the Left Brain–Right Brain Quiz
- How impulsive you are with the Barratt Impulsiveness Test
- How much you enjoy new objects and experiences with the Neophilia Quiz
- How your abstract reasoning skills measure up with the Culture Fair IQ Test (You’ll have a chance to test yourself in a few different areas of intelligence to find out where your strengths lie!)
After taking all these intriguing tests, you might just want to become a psychologist! A section at the back describes the different jobs psychologists do and provides resources for more information on the field.
Have a blast learning more about yourself and the field of psychology with this brightly illustrated quiz book!

looking forward to sharing this with my son, and if it helps him, with mental health professionals who work at his school to help them with the kids during this trying time.
I received an electronic copy from The Quarto Group through NetGalley.
Authors Alice Harman and Blok Magnaye have compiled a set of psychological tests for young adults to explore their personalities and minds. They've combined facts with actual sample tests to introduce psychology to readers. Well written easy to follow language takes readers through various theories starting with the Ancient Greek Humors and brings them to modern theories on intelligence, personality traits and creativity. Throughout the book, the authors also remind readers that these are sample tests to make them think and explore further.
A glossary and further explanation of different psychology fields is included at the end.
This book is amazing! It is so reassuring to see books about big topics made for younger people. Psychology is such a fascinating field but seems typically reserved for college or young adults. The beginning explains big terms in an easy way and gives good examples. There is so much good information! The end has a little bit about different careers in psychology which is also great. It is a great introductory book for children from older elementary to middle school. I highly recommend this book!
While you are sitting at home with your kids, this might be a fun book. It is filled with personality quizzes. Maybe understanding ourselves will help us to cope. Maybe it is just fun to do personality tests. Either way, or for any other reason, this title is worth a look. While this book is geared toward kids I think it can be explored by those of different ages. Adults can still probably remember how they would have answered these questions as children.
The book has a number of chapters including, for example, A Brief History of Personality, Personality Types, Personality Traits, Aspects of Personality, Creativity, Understanding the Unconscious and more. And, of course, there are the quizzes and answers.
Many thanks to NetGalley for this book in exchange for an honest review. This colorfully illustrated title = will intrigue amateur psychologists.
I have been browsing through and reading this book for some time. I don’t feel it is one to read at once, in one sitting. The premise is entirely fascinating and the book is full of psychology experts, research and quizzes. This is a book for the philosopher, the curious and the categoriser. With plenty of research to inform you, the truly fun part of this book lies within the quizzes.
Growing up, I would buy magazines purely for the quiz, test or questionnaire content, spending time dithering over my answers, trusting the outcomes, Who was I? Introverted or Extroverted? Which animal was I most like?
While these may not be an exact science, they offer fantastic points for discussion and debate. Aside from comparing your answers and outcomes with friends, chatting about the merits and science behind them would be fun.
The illustrations are bold and colourful, offering an almost retro vibe to the book. I have and will continue to spend hours taking the quizzes, analysing the outcomes and figuring out the research.
I would happily recommend this to any students from Year 5 and older, as they will take more from this book.
Teachers, this could be a fun way to start the year and get to know your students! Just for fun of course!
I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
This is a great book for young adult readers who want to learn about psychology or are thinking of doing psychology.
The book has some great tests for you to do to find out more about yourself and understand yourself more. The end of the book has more information about the types of psychology and other useful information to read about psychology too.
A fun book for all ages. I did quizzes with our whole family--my husband as well as third grader and kindergartner. This book would be fun for kids at school, as an after school activity at a library, Easy book to jump around and pick and choose what order to proceed.
