Right-Brained or Left Brained: Students answer a questionnaire to determine whether they are right-brained or left-brained. The questions were taken from a psychological test and rewritten so as to be comprehensible to lower-intermediate students.

Introvert and Extrovert: Students look at a list of behaviors and then classify them into introvert behavior or extrovert behavior. They then determine whether they or their parents are introverts or extroverts.
