This is a bit of ageneralisation so don't tell me off if you're different to the following.

Why is it that (in general) people don't want/ like to do exams and tests but don't mind quizzes and brainteasers? Etc Etc.

They're basically the same thing but with a different name although with exams and tests you're usually working on your own, but you might be on your own doing a quiz or brainteaser to pass the time ie on a long journey.

One of probably many perculiarities in life . . . .

I go to a quiz every Friday night and the amount of cheating leaves me gobsmacked. One person has a copy of the Guiness book of hit singles in her bag every week and always gets full marks in the music round
We have people who openly google on their mobile phones in our local quiz. I stopped going when the same 19 year old lad won it 4 weeks in a row.

Isn't it an urban myth about GCSE exams being based on multiple choice questions nowadays? I teach GCSE maths, and for the exam board we use there are no multiple choice questions.
It seems to me multiple choice questions were actually more common 30-40 years ago. Many of my 'O' level exams included a section based on multiple choice, so it's not a modern day feature of exams

I've known people to cheat at the fortnightly school pub quiz by googling on their iphone.

There's a running total now, and we're 2/9 by 2 points!

We didn't have Multiple Choice questions, only Multiple Guess ones

Factor, like i say in some exams there are multiple choice. The chem paper i ddi in january was 1/2 multiple choice, 1/4 maths, 1/4 other random chemsitry knowledge.
Biology had a few tick boxes a couple of claculations and a few 1 word/ sentences questions and 2 half page questions. Maths had 1 section on quick 1 or 2 mark answers then a section on longer question where if you can't do the first part, you can't answer the rest of it.

at gcse history, english and RE were a combination of answers between 1 sentence and 2 pages long.

Art was a huge final piece with a 2 page evaluation.

Geography had answers between 1 and 10 sentences long.

sciences had a few multiple choice questions aswell as 1 word/number answers and a few that were a sentence or two long plus some diagrams to draw.

And maths had no multiple choice question but some question were quicker to work out than other.
Never heard of anyone not getting a job cause they could not get a 9 lettered word ?r?t?y?r?
