GoToQuiz

Be sure that you don't take any of the "are you pretty?" or "are you stupid?" quizzes seriously, especially if you have lower self esteem and are looking for validation. I'm not one of those people myself, but some of the quiz results are disgusting. For example, in the quiz "how good is your taste in music?" if you are an oldies music fan, the result will say that your taste is terrible and that "you should kill yourself right now." Also, if you criticize a quiz in the quiz's comments section, you will be harassed. There is no option on the site to report comments or quizzes, either, which is a recipe for disaster.

I love Gotoquiz just as much as the next fellow but I am deeply dissatisfied with how they handle accounts. I made an account a while ago and my password to that account was hard to remember, after a bit I bought a new computer and decided to login. But surprise, surprise, I forgot my password. I tried desperately to login but unfortunately my attempts were obsolete. Since I had given my email address to the site I was sure that they would have a reset password option. But sadly there isn't. I suggest adding something like this so that people won't lose their accounts.

This site allows some of the most ignorant, childish, and self-absorbed people ever to make their presence known on the Internet to post the most meaningless, amateurish, and spiteful surveys I've ever seen and does NOTHING to keep them in check. Sure, most of these individuals may very well be moody, poorly parented teenagers and/or bored, immature twenty-somethings, but age is no excuse for crass obliviousness or self-indulgence or any other kind of low standards. The poor grasp of grammar that most of these quiz makers demonstrate particularly shows just how little they themselves care about the quality of the tests they devise, much less the site's own barely existent moderators.

Take, for example, this glorified griping session in which the creator is ultimately whining about a crummy day he/she is apparently having:

Then there's this gem in which the foul-mouthed, grammatically challenged creator asks if the test taker "sucks" as a person, which most of the sixteen commentors rightfully deride. The description of the survey alone speaks volumes of where the guy's head was when he made his little magnum opus.

The site even hosts several quizzes where the creators blatantly ask takers "Do I hate you?" as though they even know (or care) who's on the other end. Here are just a few examples of such wastes of webspace.

https://www.gotoquiz.com/do_i_hate_you_quiz_3 (Creator quote: "I hate almost everyone.")

https://www.gotoquiz.com/how_much_do_i_hate_you_6 (The creator even brags about being "a truly pretentious, misogynist." I know. Pretty embarrassing, huh?)

Personality surveys/quizzes are supposed to be a fun little break from reality for whoever takes them, demographics (age, race, gender, etc.) aside. If those who make such tests can't take the whole creation process seriously, though—especially as far as said surveys' content is concerned—then what's the point of such people making and posting such works for all the world to see in the first place, much less in anyone taking them? I certainly don't see why anyone in his or her right mind would want to take quizzes like the ones I've referenced here, nor can I see why anyone would give GoToQuiz.com any score on any review site higher than one star if this is the kind of material they regularly host. It just goes to show how few their standards are (if they have any at all) and how open they are to allowing ANYONE to post the meanest-spirited, most thoughtless garbage he or she wants to in a world that's already rotten and ill-natured enough as matters stand.

Whatever you do, make sure you don't post too much info in the forums. Also make sure you don't make an alt account and say it's not you. I made the mistake of both of these things and was bullied for the longest time. Somebody also said they would kill themselves if they were me. Making quizzes is fun, but avoid the forums.

There are quite a few good quizzes on this site but also some very poor ones. The good ones are very fun and the bad ones only waste a few minutes of your time, so it's not a big deal like buying a car.

The quiz design page could use some work. They encourage you to post a link to your website on the quiz, but most URLs get a bogus "Invalid URL" error when you try to use them for the link.

Used to be great, but now all the quizzes are like cut in quarters its been like 2 years since this first happend FIX IT ALREADY

Love the style and the different quizes. Its really great and i just love it and oooo i made it to 100

I am happy to remove this review if I hear back from GoToQuiz. I sent GoToQuiz two DMCA takedowns on Sept. 22,2022 and Jan. 27,2023. The email address I used was *******@gotoquiz.com, which is what they say to use for DMCA takedowns on their site here: https://www.gotoquiz.com/contact.html.

I created, own, and sell the material they are giving away for free. This is for the same URL on both occasions, which they have still not removed in Feb. 2023. I can see that they opened the email in Oct. 2022 and Jan 2023, but they have not responded to me at all. The copyright-infringing URL remains active.

GoToQuiz, you are legally obligated to respond to DMCA takedowns. It is unprofessional and unethical to ignore DMCA requests. Your site claims to be DMCA compliant, but in failing to respond to DMCA requests, you are not compliant.

There are a lot of great quizzes on this site. Also there are forums where you can meet other quiz makers. It's really an awesome site. Definitely five out of five.
