BuzzFeed Publishes 30-Question Adulting Quiz Claiming 90% Fail Readiness Test
2 articles · Updated · BuzzFeed · Jun 25
Summary
BuzzFeed posted a 30-question “adulting” quiz that asks readers to gauge whether they are prepared for everyday adult responsibilities.
The self-assessment is framed around practical setbacks—medical emergencies, bad landlords and unexpected expenses—as moments that expose gaps in life skills.
The post argues successful adulthood is learned through repeated mistakes and positions the quiz as a way to measure readiness rather than a formal test.
BuzzFeed also used the item to promote its Community Contributor program, inviting users to submit quizzes and posts for possible placement on its homepage and app.
