What kind of humor do I have? quiz

A person might ask: what kind of humor do I have?  As you may recall from one of my previous posts (Am I Funny? and the Types of Humor), there are seven categories of humor: Self-humor, Stupid-humor, Dirty-humor, Sarcastic-humor, Dark-humor, Dry-humor, and Witty-humor.  You may have asked yourself: what kind of humor do I have?  You may not be able to tell yourself if you are funny not, at least not truthfully.  So, how are you supposed to determine what kind of humor you have if you aren't even sure you're funny at all?

Take this quiz to determine your sense or senses of humor.  (note - some people may have more than one kind of sense of humor)

Disclaimer: this quiz may not be 100% accurate.

Directions: answer each question with a yes or a no.  If the appropriate answer is closer to a maybe, simply choose one of the other, or skip the question.  Or, if the question gives you two choices, pick one.  Since a person might have more than one kind of sense of humor, feel free to continue the quiz by going to the next question even if you've already been assigned a sense of humor.  Most importantly, be honest!


1.     Do you laugh a lot?
If yes, go to question 2.  If no, maybe you don't have a sense of humor.  Continue to question 2 anyways.

2.     If you were to choose what you do more often, would it be grin or smirk?
If grin, go to question 3.  If smirk, go to question 4.

3.     Is your laugh considered loud and annoying or quiet and shy?
If loud and annoying, go to question 5.  If quiet and shy, go to question 4.

4.     Do you consider yourself the funniest out of all of your friends?
If yes, then you have Self-humor.  Sit back and enjoy your own jokes.  Maybe even share them with someone.  If no, maybe you don't have a sense of humor.  Continue to question 6 anyways.

5.     Do you laugh more than your friends?
If more, then you have Stupid-humor.  You laugh a lot and at everything.  Sometimes the cause of your hysterics might be stupid, and usually is, but hopefully you've got another Stupid-humored person by your side laughing with you.  If less, maybe you don't have a sense of humor.  Continue to question 6 anyways.

6.     Do you often get quiet when someone walks by while you're laughing with your friends?
If yes, then you have Dirty-humor.  You laugh at all the wrong things and have an extremely dirty mind.  Chances are you're a teenager or a grown-up male.  You're perverted, but in a 'that's what she said' kind of way.  If no, continue to question 7.

7.     Do people consider you more brooding or happy?
If brooding, continue to question 8.  If happy, continue to question 10.

8.     Do you hardly smile because you have a dark personality or because you're constantly thinking?
If dark mind, then you have Dark-humor.  Congrats.  You're that person that makes Dark-humored jokes with maybe a bit of Dry-humored facial expression and a Dirty-humored mind.  You're divergent!  If constantly thinking, continue to question 9.

9.     Do you usually tell your jokes with a black facial expression?
If yes, then you have Dry-humor.  People can't always read your facial expression or body language and it's often hard for people to tell what you are thinking.  Still, you have a sense of humor.  If no, continue to question 10.

10.     Are you the person that talks back to your teacher with clever remarks?
If yes, continue to question 11.  If no, continue to question 12.

11.   Are your comebacks usually epic or lame?
If epic, then you have Witty-humor.  People in this category are probably the cleverest and most intelligent.  Or just strive for attention from their peers and do so by developing their sense of humor.  Maybe it comes naturally to you, or maybe you've trained your mind to pick up on slight details in a conversation and pick out the amusing parts in it.  If lame, maybe you don't have a sense of humor.  Continue to question 12 anyways.

12.     Are you the type of person that takes things literally and makes jokes that start with, "well, technically..."?
If yes, then you have Sarcastic-humor.  You often talk back to teachers or adults and are constantly searching your brain for a clever remark.  You might even have some Witty-humor mixed in with your sarcasm.  If no, then maybe you don't have a sense of humor.


If you got more than three 'maybe you don't have a sense of humor's, you probably don't have a sense of humor... or, you can tell yourself, it's buried deep down.
