Monument Quiz.pptx

No evidence of quizzing has been found in records from the ancient and medieval periods. If ancient Romans or Aboriginal peoples quizzed, they did not leave anything that shows it. The earliest known appearance of the word quiz in print, according to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), is surprisingly recent—1782—and the word then referred to an odd-looking person. The etymology of the word is unknown. A widely repeated anecdote ascribes the word’s invention to Richard Daly, the manager of a Dublin theatre. As one version of the story goes, he wagered that he could cause a word of no meaning to become the talk of the town within 48 hours and to acquire a definite, widely adopted meaning within a week. Accordingly, he had the letters Q, U, I, and Z written across doors and shutters all over Dublin. The subsequent public response led to his winning the wager. (The anecdote’s accuracy is, unfortunately, doubtful.)

Over the course of the 19th century, the meaning of quiz changed. It was used, for example, to talk about peculiar objects. The OED cites examples of the word being used to refer to a yo-yo-like toy that became fashionable in England in the 1790s. Quiz was also used to denote a practical joke or a witticism as well as the person making it.

As a term that refers to a test of knowledge, the word quiz first appeared in print in 1867, according to the OED, when it applied specifically to a set of questions used to evaluate a person’s knowledge in an academic context. This specific sense of the word has survived and is still used by instructors to denote tests that are not long enough to qualify as examinations and are often not announced prior to being given to the surprised students. By the early 20th century, American newspapers were applying the word quiz to a form of amusement, as in “The Ben Franklin Quiz,” a regularly published game promising cash for solving pictographic puzzles. The sense of a quiz as a competition between individuals or teams became increasingly common, though exactly how or why the meaning of the word moved from peculiar objects to a competition is anyone’s guess. The OED theorizes that it may have occurred by way of association with the word inquisitive or question.

One could argue that using questions as a formal test of knowledge began in imperial China. During the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE), candidates for civil service positions were tested to determine whether they had memorized 9,000 Chinese characters. This system—which became institutionalized during this period but, arguably, can be traced hundreds of years further back—evolved into an examination lasting three days and two nights.

The British state saw the value of this meritocratic system and undertook a series of reforms in the first half of the 19th century that culminated in the 1854 Northcote-Trevelyan Report, which concluded that recruitment into the civil service should be by open examinations conducted by an independent board.
