Type the question, fill in two answer tiles and delete the empty ones. Mark the correct answer. 3. For a true or false style pair, use the True or false question type, which shows two tiles. 4. For opinion pairs such as "Mixtape or Streaming playlist?", use the Poll question type if your plan includes it. If not, use a Quiz question and mark both answers correct so nobody loses points. 5. Set the time limit to 10 or 20 seconds per question. Two-choice questions do not need longer. 6. Add 10 to 15 questions, save, and click Start to host it live or assign it as homework. ## Tips for writing this or that quizzes - Write the scoring key first, then write the questions to fit it. Each option should point clearly to one result. - Keep the options balanced. If one side sounds cooler, everyone picks it and the results stop meaning anything. - Fact-check every trivia answer against two sources before you play it. - Teachers add this or that quizzes to the end of a unit: ten two-choice review questions take about 4 minutes in Kahoot. - Present a personality result as a fun label, not a diagnosis. Nobody wants to be told they are boring. - For more quiz pairs, use the random picker at /this-or-that-generator. It gives a new pair with each click. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a this or that quiz? A this or that quiz is a list of two-option questions with a result at the end.
