About This Quiz

Your flaws are often something you don't want to think about actively. But think about this for a second. Maybe thinking about your weaknesses is a way to highlight your strengths. If you know what you don't do well, not only can that help you take a closer look at what you do well, but it can also help you work on improving some things, even if your biggest flaw is something as simple as you're always hungry. A positive of that would be that your metabolism is very efficient. You can work on it by eating more protein-rich meals to keep you fuller for longer.

See? Not everything is all bad, even when we're talking about flaws. Do you feel like you have so many flaws you can't pick your biggest one? Totally understandable. This quiz is here to help. It will take a bit of a deep dive into your life, but it will also try to figure out who you are as a person and your daily tendencies. If the answer you give during job interviews is that you're too caring or you try too hard, you definitely need this quiz. Just always remember that within every flaw is a strength just waiting to come out. Want to know what your biggest flaw is? Take this quiz to find out!
