About This Quiz

“Would You Rather” is more than just a fun game. Though, of course, it is quite fun. But the choices that you make when playing a game of “Would You Rather” say something about who you are as a person. Because the questions are difficult and there are never any obvious answers, the choices that you make are unique to you. For example, you and your close friends are much more likely to pick the same answers in a “Would You Rather” game than you and your worst enemy, or somebody who has a completely different world view from you.

Similarly, your hair color can have some implications about who you are. Sure, it’s not an exact science, but we do know that blondes have more fun, after all. And what is it that they say about redheads being fiery? We admit that, to a certain extent, these are just stereotypes, but most cliches come from a place of some truth.

So if you’re curious whether or not your “Would You Rather” choices match your hair color, try out this quiz. We’ll guess your hair color based on your answers to these complicated scenarios, and you can see if we were right. Ready to get started?
