Tell Us About Your SO and We'll Guess Their High School Stereotype

About This Quiz

High school stereotypes are commonly portrayed in the media. The older crowd among us may remember Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which gave us the classic surfer/slacker archetype and others that continue to this day. Another popular media portrayal of high school students came in the hit TV show Saved by the Bell. In particular, the characters of Zack Morris and A.C. Slater are excellent examples of the classic "jock" stereotype.

As the years progressed, high school stereotypes got a little bit more nuanced. The show Degrassi, a portrayal of teenagers in Canada progressing from junior high and on through high school, became one of the most popular TV series in North America. The show is known for taking a serious look at student issues like alcohol, sex and mental health — matters that the more reserved, family-friendly sitcoms of the '90s wouldn't touch often.

While we don't have to live our lives by the guidelines of high school stereotypes, it certainly helps us understand the way we view the world. For better or worse, high school stereotypes help us find meaning in a time that is often full of confusion and uncertainty. If you've ever been curious about what kind of stereotype your partner would be, give us some details about them, and we'll give you the verdict.
