Made for a company as a little casual distraction to get employees to know one another better and be able to predict the gender of the bearer of the first names. They are an international team, and often interact orally buuut of course, it is always easier to know a bit more about your coworkers without assuming what their gender is. 

30 questions (15 for both sides), obviously a little biased by my informants and myself, but it is interesting nonetheless to think about first names as very complex units of cultural semes. I've read much more than I wrote about and would love to extend that game towards a phonetic study of first names, and maybe use that bare-bone endeavor as a basis for something more, should need arise.

Thank you for the heads up! I just added a scrolling bar--you should have access to the quiz now :)
