How Do You Approach New Experiences? (10-Question Quiz)
Some people enjoy discovering new options; others get more from what they already know. This quiz looks at your everyday preference for novelty or familiarity across activities, ideas and routines. Neither preference is a measure of intelligence, courage or worth.
Think about your choices over the past six months. Choose what you tend to do when both options are reasonable and available, not what you would do on an unusually busy or stressful day.
