Sometimes I Talk Too Much – A Quirky Quiz
I had a fancy schmancy quiz all figured out but it was the first time using the app and it conflicts with some ghost in the machine and was making the entire post invisible (told you it was a ghost issue).
So here’s the quiz in just plain text until I figure it out. Give your answers in the comments section, ok?
1. Match the ‘Sometimes’ with the ‘I Should Have’.
- Sometimes it’s because the other person doesn’t have time to talk and I don’t realize it.
- Sometimes it’s because I think who I am talking to wants me to keep talking but they actually want to say something.
- Sometimes it’s because I am so excited about the topic I don’t get the message that those I am talking to aren’t.
- Sometimes it’s because I’ve told the story or given the coaching lecture to the same people before and don’t realize it.
- Sometimes it’s because I want something resolved RIGHT NOW but the other person isn’t ready to have it resolved yet.
- Sometimes it’s because I am just full of myself.
a. I should have seen their eyes glaze over.
b. I should have seen them looking at their watch or phone a number of times.
c. I should have seen them give a big sigh.
d. I should have heard them talking among themselves.
e. I should have seen them try to get a word in edgewise.
f. I Should have done all of the above.
2. Match the word on the left with its language on the right.
|
a. Czech b. Estonian c. Finnish d. German e. Nyanja f. Uzbek g. Haitian h. Swedish i. Russian j. Galician k. Tagalog l. Danish |
3. All these words have the same meaning in English. What is it?

1. all f or: 1-e, 2-c, 3-a, 4-b, 5-d
2. I know none of them
3. – I looked it up – an anagram (is that right word?) of Robin G.
I think the test was not about getting these answers right.
John, considering you were the only one to even attempt it, you win the internet today!
1. I would go with F as well, so simple.
2. I didn’t know any of them until I looked them up either. But I think I might have been able to guess the German and Czech, and maybe Finnish, but who knows.
3. Yep, Robin G mixed around is right.
No the test was originally simply to try out a quiz plugin I had downloaded and to have fun. The plugin didn’t work too well.
True, true, true!
