Quiz: What does it take to be an original thinker?

From Adam Grant, comes this 15 question quiz (5 minutes) that would be great for your career and/or entrepreneurship unit. It also delivers insights that you might find helpful in your own job. 

Here's a link to the quiz. 

Good questions to lead a discussion:

  • Which answer was most surprising to you? For me it was the question about morning people (of which I am clearly one!)
  • Did you discover any interesting insights that you can use in your own life from the quiz? 
  • Your friend asks, "what does it take to be an original thinker." What's your one sentence answer?

About the Author

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
