I used the following quiz as an ice breaker for a writing workshop I taught a few years ago. It's pretty fun stuff. I found it to be a better opening exercise rather than the who are you and why are you here stuff we normally get at the onset of such workshops. I post it here for fun. I'll post the answers next week. Enjoy.
