Latvijas Avīze Offers a Quiz on Your Ideal Working Day Length
The website la.lv of the Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze has published an interactive quiz that helps readers work out how many hours a day suit them best. The quiz has 10 questions.
Latvijas Avīze, a Latvian newspaper, has posted an interactive quiz on its website la.lv that aims to determine how many hours a day each reader should actually work. The piece belongs to the site's entertainment content, and its authors present it as a way to reflect on one's daily rhythm.
Why the quiz
The introduction notes that most people work an average of eight hours a day. People differ widely, though: for some, energy runs out right after lunch, while others are still writing emails at night and making plans for the future. For that reason, the authors stress, the ideal length of a working day can differ from person to person.
How it works
The quiz consists of 10 questions. The first concerns the morning routine: an alarm goes off at 7:00 a.m., and the reader must choose what their first thought is. The answer options vary. One is to ignore the alarm and sleep until noon, another is to ask for just five more minutes, and another is to get up straight away and start the day. There is also the option that the person has already been up for a while.
Once the questions are answered, the participant is shown a result indicating how many hours a day would suit them best. The source material does not describe the remaining questions or explain the results.
The quiz is available in the «Tests» section of the Latvijas Avīze website and is open to any visitor.
