About This Quiz

We can probably all agree the grade school years were maybe not our most glamorous years? Some of us were glue peelers, and others of us were the marker-sniffing kind. After we learn enough about your younger and your older personalities, we'll be able to tell what scented marker you sniffed to pass the time during reading circle. 

When little Johnny's antics were just too much for you and the vocabulary words had been repeated a million times, what else were you expected to do in grade school? If you weren't supposed to sniff scented markers, they would have never been on the supply list. With scents like banana, cherry, and grape, our grade school markers did everything but stand up and beg to be sniffed.  These days, kids can get nearly any school supply scented with almost any smell you can imagine, but they will never know the joys of a freshly opened blueberry marker like the ones we had!

As you go through the questions, share your school experiences and your favorite school supplies with us. Once we feel adequately educated enough to guess the marker scent you sniffed most, we'll share it with you. Would you have shared your markers with us?
