Jerk's at Work: Take the Quizzes

Am I a Jerk at Work?

Welcome to the “Am I a Jerk at Work?” quiz! Each question is designed to assess how you would respond to a series of tricky, hypothetical workplace situations. At the end, you’ll find out whether you’re a Conniving Trickster, Classic Jerk, just Going Through the Motions—or have been an Ideal Coworker all along.

It can also be fun to take these quizzes from the perspective of someone else at work (how would your boss respond to these questions?). And if you're really bold, have your coworkers take it as if they were you. It can be a great way to see how others at work perceive you.

Am I an Effective Ally?

Most of us have experienced jerks at work not only as victims, but also as observers. This quiz will help you assess how you respond to jerks when someone other than yourself is the target. The goal is to find out whether you’re an Effective Ally, and if not, what type of “not so supportive” coworker you are—Virtue Signaler, Dramatic Savior, or Actionless Observer.
