Read this before you take a Facebook quiz again

Read this before you take a Facebook quiz again We know it's tempting. You've seen that quiz going around that all your friends seem to be taking. It's a personality quiz, and that's right up your alley. But, wait a second. Before you take it, you might want to think twice.
 Just recently, there was a scary survey going around on Facebook that wound up being a huge security threat. The survey was called "10 Concerts I've Been To," and the scammers were using it to learn the answer to users' login security questions. We get it. These quizzes are fun. We all enjoy taking them, but they can also have a negative effect on your privacy. Just like the example previously mentioned, developers of these Facebook quizzes could use them to access the details listed in your Facebook profile, including your religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, photos, groups you're part of, events you've attended and more.
 Even if you're not a big quiz taker yourself, you probably have Facebook friends who are. And, in some cases, when your friends take or share a quiz the developers could gain access to the details in your profile. Now that's scary. 

             HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

It's important to point out that, in most cases, people who take these Facebook quizzes actually give the developers permission to access this information without even knowing it.
    Have you ever seen something like this pop up before you've downloaded a Facebook app, or taken a Facebook Quiz?

 The thing is, some people get so excited about the quiz itself that they forget to read the fine print. If you look closely, just above the "Allow" button is a statement that says, "Allowing [quiz name] access will let it pull your profile information, photos, your friends' info, and other content that it requires to work." And just beneath the "Allow" button is a statement that says, "By proceeding, you are allowing [quiz name] to access your information and you are agreeing to the Facebook Terms of Use."

 You love it or hate it, but you can’t ignore it. Testony’s Survey Creates a Hit Ridge in Local Languages in Facebook We are talking about the hilarious Test apps that the social media is going gaga over. Such test apps are not new on Facebook but the latest one to hit the block is Testony’s survey in English, Nepali, Hindi and other local languages and also adding to it an Nepalese reply to an English question.

Fun Test apps (Quizzstar, nametests, meaww, fruityfifty, etc) have always been providing an altogether different taste to the users since a long time, but this time the latest Testony’s survey has come out with some hilarious results to some basic generic questions. For questions like ‘When will you get married’, ‘What does people really think about you looking at your photo’, ‘What will you become after 10 years’, ‘What does your Gf/Bf will offer you to do after your marriage’, ‘What does your future hold’ etc. have brought out some amusing answers while insulting the users in a sarcastic manner, which has further made the situation even more side-splitting.

Moreover, the captions that the users have put up while sharing these test results has made the news feed gone absolutely crazy!

These test results are taken in a jovial manner by many, while only a few have taken them seriously. They have either believed results it to the utmost or have put up status updates criticising the test vehemently.
 However, these tests have also been linked with some relating pictures of the question searched, in the background of the result and to questions like ‘Want to know about you?’, ‘What is the personality of your zodiac sign?,’ have increased the number of users getting themselves involved with it. This gives immense pleasure to the person, who wants to know more of him and if somehow it relates with his personality if these tests seem to possess a tinge of reality with it. But these are only a matter of entertainment which evaluates the professional aptitude of the users.

In some cases it was seen that people have started long debates and discussions on their respective Facebook walls about Testony’s survey in Nepali language.  

Irrespective of everything of what people have said, whether they like it, love it, ignore it, or hate it- Testony has become popular among the users due to the mere touch of the languages in their local aptitude and people who were never seen sharing any such updates regarding their future or love life were seen sharing. And when asked as what made them take the test or share it, the simple answer was- “Nothing can be sweeter than to get trolled by Facebook in your native language".
