A Short History of Quizzing
Quizzes have been part of human culture long before they became digital. From oral storytelling traditions to written examinations, people have always used questions as a way to test knowledge, spark curiosity, and bring groups together.
The word “quiz” became widely popular in the late 18th century, when public knowledge games began appearing in schools, pubs, and newspapers. In the 20th century, radio and television quiz shows turned question-and-answer games into shared social events.
Today, quizzes are used for learning, team events, friendly competition, and simple curiosity. The format has evolved, but the appeal is the same: a quiz is a quick way to learn something new, challenge yourself, and compare answers with other people.
Why Humans Love Quizzes
Quizzes feel good because they’re simple and social. A short set of questions gives you a clear goal, quick feedback, and a little challenge without a big time commitment.
They also create conversation. Even when people disagree on an answer, that debate is part of the fun — and it’s why quizzes work so well in classrooms, teams, and group chats.
At their best, quizzes do three things fast: they test memory, teach something new, and give people a reason to share results with others.
