According to New Scientist Magazine.

The summary of the argument is basically that Boredom encourages you to think creatively and just do something, anything at all, go out, explore your surroundings, draw, write, or whatever.

There is a little online quiz too where you can measure yourself on the boredom proneness scale to see how easily bored you get.

I scored 69 on the scale. So Not easily bored at all. Which kinda surprised me :smile:

I got a 77 which says I can be bored if I read this right and that really surprises me since I am rarely if ever bored there is always something to do to stimulate my mind.

Hello all

That was an interesting quiz. Mine was 94 which was similar to Pansytilly's answer.

My score is 59.

It says: That means you have a very high boredom threshold. - scores range between 28 (not easily bored) and 196 (very easily bored).

If you score below 63 you are in the 1 percent of the population who are hardest to bore - you may never or rarely experience boredom. People like you tend to be curious and have good self-control.

Thanks for posting the quiz.
