Unsure About a Question?

Quiz questions may use terms or make distinctions that are unfamiliar. I hope to reword the quiz for clarity and add pop-up help/examples. Stay tuned!

The good news is that no single question strongly effects the results and you always have a neutral (middle or unsure) option which nullifies that question - pick this option for all questions and you'll end squarely in the middle of the Typological Circle.

Wrong Result!

This is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to hear about - please dash off an e-mail to kapolka@wilkes.edu giving me the particulars.
A mismatch can happen for several reasons:

1. The quiz is designed to suggest the straighforward narrative approach that best matches with prescribed elements of the story.
   Books with complex or mixed narration may achieve these ends using other means; good authors frequently 'break the rules.'
   
   
2. The quiz has a bias toward character and authorial narration.
   These narrative modes are easier to write, least experimental, and most likely to be published, however this bias is under review and possibly argues for revision of the quiz.
   
   
3. The author did not chose the best narration.
   Mark Twain used an authorial narrator for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer but switched to character narration in subsequent Sawyer novels (Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, etc.) In retrospect, Twain admitted that the latter was the better choice.
