The Beauty Quotient Formula Quiz

Think of your BQ score as a sort of lifestyle surgeon -- without a scalpel! The BQ Quiz was designed to function as a barometer for a woman's beauty quotient (or potential). Because this quiz is subjective, there is no perfect score or failing grade! It is unique to each and everyone who takes the quiz and will help you recognize your positive factors and allow you to realize and tackle your liabilities. Armed with this knowledge it allows you to maximize your beauty quotient!

The quiz is divided into three sections. After answering all questions within a section, click the “Apply Formula” button to display your own BQ score. A range of scores is provided at the end of each section to help identify areas of strengths and weaknesses. Once you know your score, you can refer to the book and go to the appropriate section for treatments and advice about how to raise your BQ.

You must answer every question in order to allow the program to score the quiz for you. If a question has answers that do not completely apply to you, choose the closest one that does apply.

Please remember these important facts about the quiz!

  • There is no perfect BQ score OR failing grade!
  • Do not get discouraged by the grade, think of it as a guide to a new and better you!
  • Improving your BQ is a work in progress.
  • Consider taking the quiz again and again after making recommended changes from the book to document and celebrate your progress.
  • You must reassess your strengths and flaws to continue to raise your BQ.
  • Work at your own pace. This is not a race. Think of it as a journey. You are not competing with anyone.
You do not have to complete the quiz all at once. The browser will remember your answers.
