Smarterer - Show Off Your Skills


Smarterer - Show Off Your Skills

Recently, I was invited to join the Bzz Campaign for Smarterer - a way to show off your smarts and skills through fun quizzes.

What is Smarterer?
"Smarterer gives users an unbiased resource to prove what they know. The website presents users with a diverse collection of tests. These include social, technical and digital topics. The user can select a test that is relevant to their knowledge and take it. Smarterer gives them their score which can be used to prove what the user knows. Users can also create tests for the Smarterer community. Users who successfully complete tests are given access to a badge identifying their success. These badges can be placed on Facebook, Twitter and Google profiles as well as blogs. They also appear on the user’s Smarterer profile. Smarterer also gives community members access to the leaderboards, which show who has the highest scores and provides icons that link to the site’s most popular tests. The current list of popular tests includes Facebook, Twitter, Google, Gmail, Chrome, CSS, Microsoft Word and Excel."

I have to admit, I much prefer taking the fun tests like pop-culture and music rather than the technical stuff...but that is just a personal preference.

Smarterer Features
Create your own tests for other Smarterer uses to take
Search for tests already added to the site
Prove what you know in technical and internet subjects
Post Smarterer badges on social networking profiles
Earn a place on the Smarterer leaderboards

It is a fun way to not only challenge yourself, but friends and family alike.
