About This Quiz

The holidays are all about spending time with the people you love, spreading cheer to your friendly neighbors and indulging in sweet and tasty treats. But if you're anything like the Grinch, then maybe the holidays are about throwing Christmas ornaments in the trash, taking pine trees back to the forest and stealing presents from others. Even if you love the holidays, we all have a little bit of Grinch-like qualities within us!

The only friend in the Grinch's life is his dog, Max, whom he lives with on Mount Crumpit. This location shows just how much he loves people because it's pretty far away from the friendly Whoville town. The Grinch wants to steal Christmas away from others, and he succeeds in his attempt. Make no mistake: Behind his evil smile lies a smart and calculated mind planning all of his sinister moves in advance. 

But underneath it all, the Grinch has a soft and vulnerable soul who feels lonely without any friends in his life. He doesn't know how to communicate with others, and being grumpy isn't always about feeling hatred for the world but rather hatred for one's self. There are many layers to the Grinch's personality, and if you want to find out how similar you are to him, then it's time to take our grouchy quiz now!
