About This Quiz

Did you know that the season you were born in has a strong impact on your personality? Believe it or not, the season of your birth has a major effect on your temperament, behavior and spirit. 

For instance, spring babies (who are imbued with the element of cool air) tend to be unusually cheerful, friend-focused and optimistic. Winter babies, on the other hand, tend to be more introverted and intellectual because they're imbued with the element of cold water. Autumn babies embody the element of warm earth, making them friendly and sensual, while summer babies are powered by the element of hot fire, making them impulsive, fun and full of life.

If you're curious about whether we can guess the season of your birth based on your personality, this is the quiz for you! We've come up with a personality test sure to correctly match you with your birth season. We'll ask you about everything from what makes you most nervous to whether you'd go to Burning Man if you got free tickets. Our quiz supercomputer will tabulate your answers and determine whether you were born in autumn, winter, spring or summer! Ready to put your essence to the test? Let's get quizzing!

You go out on a first date with a very intelligent, very kind person who happens to smell terrible. How long do you stay?

I'd stay through the whole date and, if I liked them, I'd make a second date. Hygiene's not a deal-breaker for me.
I'd put up with the smell for 15 minutes before asking them why they smelled this way.
I'd make an excuse 30 minutes in and leave ASAP.
