About This Quiz

If you've always wanted to explore the depths of the ocean, now's your chance to embark on some aquatic adventures with us in this oceanic quiz! You'll find plenty of fish, seashells and best of all, mermaids! You can't deny the existence of mermaids either because guess what? You're actually a mermaid and we're about to explore some of your lively personality traits.

A mermaid is a hybrid of a female human being and a fish. Such sea creatures are able to breathe underwater and have mastered a variety of swimming skills and techniques. Some mermaids also love to sing, while others prefer to watch a sunset by sitting on a rock. If you're curious about where to find mermaids, you may have a hard time spotting them in the ocean. But don't worry, because you can always escape into classic films like "The Little Mermaid," "Aquamarine," "Splash" and "A Mermaid's Tale." While a mermaid refers to a female type of sea creature, there are also male "mermaids" as well, which are actually called "mermen." So if you're excited to splash around in the ocean, we encourage you to take our oceanic quiz to find out what types of mermaid traits you possess!
