About This Quiz

We're very much a world divided, even in modern times. Many people have a sort of duality of thought and action. We have our private selves, the person we are in our own homes, behind closed doors that maybe only friends and family get to know much about.

Then there's the public self we have that we present to the world. It's how we act at work, or when we're out shopping for creamed corn and paper towels. This version of us is often much more reserved and "proper" in that traditional sense of the word. This proper version is not the kind of person who talks about controversial things, and they certainly don't engage in public displays of affection. Whether it's because they find such things inappropriate, it makes them feel awkward, or they just don't like creeps watching is an entirely different matter.

In the middle is where you'll likely find most people. People who are OK with a hug or a kiss when it seems like a good idea but who also don't want to cause a scene that'll get them banned from the mall. Everyone fits on the scale somewhere though and if you answer a few questions, we bet we can guess where you fit in. Want to find out if we know your thoughts on PDA? Take the quiz!
