Sample quiz: workplace security basics

This is the kind of quiz the generator writes: one topic, believable wrong answers, the right one marked and explained. You can take it as it is.

1. Which of these is the strongest password?

   One answer
   • Summer2024
   • P@ssword1
   • Correct answer: correct-horse-battery-staple-91
   • 12345678

   Length matters more than symbols: a long passphrase is harder to guess than a short password with a few tricks.

2. An email asks you to confirm your login on a page that looks like your company's. What do you do first?

   One answer
   • Enter your password quickly to avoid a lockout
   • Correct answer: Check the sender's address and where the link leads
   • Forward it to colleagues to warn them
   • Reply and ask if it is real

   Checking the sender and the real address of the link catches most phishing before any harm is done.

3. Which of these are signs of a phishing email? Choose all that apply.

   Several answers
   • Correct answer: An urgent request to act right now
   • Correct answer: A sender address outside the company domain
   • Correct answer: A link whose address does not match its text
   • Your manager's usual signature

   Pressure, an unknown sender and a mismatched link are the usual signals. A familiar signature is easy to copy, so it proves nothing.

4. You leave your desk for five minutes. What should you do with your computer?

   One answer
   • Nothing, five minutes is short
   • Correct answer: Lock the screen
   • Turn off the monitor
   • Close the browser

   A locked screen keeps your accounts closed to anyone passing by; a dark monitor does not.

5. Where should you report a suspicious email?

   One answer
   • Nowhere, just delete it
   • Correct answer: To IT or the security team, as company rules say
   • To the sender, by replying
   • In a team chat

   The security team can block the sender for everyone; a deleted email may reach a colleague who clicks.

6. What is a safe way to share a password with a colleague?

   One answer
   • In a chat message
   • On a sticky note
   • Correct answer: Through the company's password manager
   • In an email

   A password manager shares access without leaving the password in chats, mailboxes or on paper.

7. What does two-factor authentication add to a login?

   One answer
   • A second password you choose
   • Correct answer: A second check, such as a code from your phone
   • A longer session
   • Access without a password

   With a second check, a stolen password alone is not enough to get into the account.

8. You find a USB stick in the office parking lot. What do you do?

   One answer
   • Plug it in to find the owner
   • Correct answer: Hand it to IT or security without plugging it in
   • Keep it
   • Format it and use it

   An unknown USB stick can carry malware that runs as soon as it is plugged in.

How to write a quiz that checks understanding

• Make the wrong answers believable

  Wrong options should be mistakes a learner could really make. When two options are obviously silly, the question tests guessing.

• Ask about using the knowledge

  "Which password is strongest?" checks understanding. "In what year was the policy adopted?" checks memory of a detail nobody needs.

• Leave out "all of the above"

  It lets people answer without reading every option and makes questions easy to guess. The generator does not use it.

• Generate from your own material

  Paste the lesson or the instruction you taught. The questions then cover what people actually learned, and the answers match your material.
