Surveys/Polls/Quizzes - Mia Norris


My Experience with the BuzzFeed Personality Quiz

I recently finished the "This Quiz Will Determine What Type Of Pizza Your Personality Matches With, And It's Scarily Accurate" personality test on BuzzFeed.
Through multiple-choice questions, the test probed my routines, preferences, and personality.
The encounter was pleasurable because of the vibrant and captivating interface and entertaining graphics.
 A Hawaiian pizza, according to the quiz, is "unique, zesty, laid-back, social, and quirky" with a "adventurous spirit"
who seeks out "new experiences with new people" and is "deeply loyal to close friends and family."
I found out this after answering all the questions.

Comparing My Results to a Larger Body

I requested friends to take the questionnaire and submit their findings after I posted the link on my Instagram story so I could compare my results to others'. Five (33%) of the 15 respondents chose Margherita, four (27%) chose Pepperoni, three (20%) chose Hawaiian, like me, two (13%) chose BBQ Chicken, and one (7%) chose Veggie Supreme.

I noted that Margherita and Pepperoni seemed to be the most popular responses when I looked at the quiz's comment section, which displayed over 14,000 takes and 80 comments. Hawaiian was mentioned less frequently but was still cited frequently. This implies that certain responses may be biased toward more "classic" pizza varieties by the quiz's algorithm.

Although Hawaiian was one of the less common findings in my study, the distribution indicates that it still occurred frequently enough to imply BuzzFeed creates these tests with fair results. These tests put amusement ahead of scientific accuracy and provide users with favorable, pleasing, and shareable findings.

Unit 1 Draft - Mia Norris

Source 1 Analysis: A Pencil Shop, for Texting the Old-Fashioned Way - The New York Times When I read "A Pencil Shop, for Texting the Old-Fashioned Way," I was taken aback by how applicable a pencil-only store may seem in a world where cellphones and digital communication rule the day. Molly Young examines why analog instruments continue to have cultural and emotional significance through a profile of C.W. Pencil Enterprise. The essay emphasizes the emotion, purpose, and nostalgia that surround tangible items that many people view as outdated rather than criticizing technology. The piece has a lighthearted, observational tone with some irony. Young establishes the contrast between contemporary digital life and analog simplicity right away by asking who would even need a pencil anymore. Her method is descriptive rather than persuasive, using statements from the shop owner, images, and anecdotes to let readers come to their own judgments. Readers who are at ease with technology ...

What I Listen To In A Day - Mia Norris

Image
  Every morning, I start my day at 8:20 AM. My alarm sound is usually one of three songs, but most often it’s Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac. I’ve learned that waking up to a song that makes me happy and puts me in a good mood helps me start the day on the right foot, even on mornings when getting out of bed feels extra difficult. After my two classes, my roommate and I decided to get our nails done, which was very much needed. The nail salon was amazing and really tried to make the experience as relaxing as possible. While I was there, I started listening to a podcast that put a lot of things into perspective for me. It focused on learning how to take control of your own life and truly make it yours, while also romanticizing both the big moments and the small, everyday things that help you feel better and more grounded. Once I got home, I headed straight to the gym. I’ve been loving my Wednesdays this semester because I only have one class, which gives me more time to do things for mysel...

 Unit 3 Portfolio  You're Not Using AI. AI Is Using You. This week, you most likely opened ChatGPT at least once. Perhaps to help you begin an essay, decide what to make for supper, or simply to provide an answer to a query you could have looked up on Google. Yes, it felt effective. Even normal. That's precisely the issue. The majority of people think they are just using AI as a handy tool, but the data points to something much more disturbing: we are progressively delegating our creativity, thinking, and decision-making to systems we don't fully understand, and if we don't set clear boundaries, we run the risk of losing the very cognitive abilities that define humanity. This is not a warning about science fiction. The majority of us are unaware that it is already occurring.  The Slow Handover (Fusion Chat, 2023)  When was the last time you sat with a challenging issue and didn't grab for your phone right away? We used no AI to write a first draft. or make a choice,...
