I share your concerns, Jenny. How one uses a quiz is very important - I do not see them/use them as stand alone instruments that allow one to tick the box, rather as a prompt for discussions which lead people to a greater awareness and understanding of the issues.

I don't have a quiz to contribute, but may I share a worry? I'm currently investigating E&D e-learning packages (any hints from colleagues welcome!) and have found some of their quizzes a bit offputting. Some of them are fact-based, asking questions like 'how many people from new EU countries currently work in the UK?' which seem, cumulatively, to be trying to probe prejudices - if you get them wrong, does it suggest that you are a racist? (I get them wrong because I'm not number-friendly!). This doesn't apply to Fiona's questions, by the way, but even so, I think it's more important to have questions which get people to think about concepts not numbers. I'm tempted to try to draft some, but I have to get back to the job in hand.

Perhaps we need some guidelines when queries are of universal interest and when we need to reply off list? Quiz might need some updating re most current stats.
