About This Quiz

Let's take a trip back to your high school years! After you tell us about the way you lived back then, we think we'll be able to guess how many times you were sent to detention. While some of you might have had a permanent resident card, others may have never been given a pink slip.

Receiving detention is considered a huge embarrassment by students with high ambitions, but other, more defiant, students considered it a badge of honor. No matter which "The Breakfast Club" character you see yourself most like, which one were you most like in the detention room? Whether it was summer school or a designated period of the day, your experience with the subject will be obvious to us.

You don't have to love or hate the time you spent in school to take this quiz. We think we have designed the questions in a way that will bring out your most truthful responses. Unless you are that mastermind who managed to ace every exam without studying, your detention record will be clear to us. Will we be right about the number of times you got detention, or will we need to go back to school?
