About This Quiz

Go to high school, they said. It will be fun, they said. Not sure who "they" are, but high school isn't always fun. In fact, sometimes it can be downright horrifying. Some people make out way better than others, and those are the ones who are part of an elite group of friends. If you were part of one of the other groups that maybe felt ostracized, or you didn't belong to a group at all, you weren't alone. All of these groups add flavor and intrigue to the high school experience. Which one were you in? Let's find out.

Let's figure this out by how you like your salad. Say what? It's true! Salads might be everyone's least favorite food, but there are basically endless bases, toppings, dressings, sides, you name it. If you've ever been to a build-your-own salad spot, you know just how daunting it can be to make up your mind on the spot. You'll have a little bit more time in this quiz, and at the end, you don't even have to eat the salad. Want us to guess your high school stereotype? Build a salad in this quiz and we will!
