Since 1987, yearbook staffs across the country have spent the first week of every October pausing to celebrate the creativity, dedication and teamwork that go into capturing the story of a school year. During National Yearbook Week, Walsworth is celebrating by shining a spotlight on the unique talents and personalities that make every staff strong with a yearbook personality quiz!
Let’s face it: yearbook takes all kinds of people. From the meticulous editor who catches every typo to the social butterfly who keeps everyone motivated, each role matters. Every contribution helps tell the story of your school year.
Introducing the Yearbook Personality Quiz
Walsworth’s Yearbook Personality Quiz is a lighthearted way for advisers and staffs to see the roles they naturally take on within their yearbook team. Every staff is full of unique strengths, and this quiz highlights what makes yours shine. Here’s a peek at some of the personalities you might discover:
🪄 Word Wizard – crafting the stories that make history
📸 Snapshot Superstar – capturing the candid shots that bring stories to life
🦅 Eagle Eye – spotting every typo before it goes to print
📋 Checklist Champ – keeping the team organized and deadlines on track
📣 Hype Hero – bringing the energy when it’s needed most
🎨 Vivid Visionary – turning big dreams into creative reality
🌟 Leading Light – guiding the team with patience and purpose
⏰ Last-Minute Legend – thriving under pressure and saving the day
🛠️ Humble Hustler – working behind the scenes to keep things moving
🌪️ Chaos Coordinator – somehow managing the moving pieces when things get hectic
Each personality celebrates a different strength. The mix of all these talents makes a staff successful.
When you and your students take the quiz, you’ll uncover your individual strengths and see how your team’s personalities balance and complement one another. It’s a great conversation starter for staff bonding and a fun way to celebrate the diversity of skills on your team.

Why Take the Quiz?
Sure, the chance to win $200 is exciting, but this week is about more than prizes. National Yearbook Week is about celebrating who you are as a staff and why your work matters.
When you take the quiz together, you’ll spark fun conversations and probably learn a few surprises about each other. Maybe your quiet copy editor turns out to be a hidden Hype Hero. Maybe your last-minute deadline savior is actually a Vivid Visionary at heart. Either way, you’ll laugh, connect and appreciate what makes your team one of a kind.
It’s also a wonderful teaching tool for advisers. Use the results to start conversations about teamwork and communication. Talk about how different strengths come together to create something amazing: your yearbook.
For students, the quiz is a reminder that their unique contributions matter. Every single role – whether it’s capturing images, organizing sales or designing spreads – plays a part in creating something lasting and meaningful for their school community.
So take a few minutes this week to pause, celebrate your people and see where your personalities shine. You’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for your team – and maybe even a $200 prize.
How to Celebrate in Class
Looking for a simple, fun way to celebrate National Yearbook Week with your staff? The Yearbook Personality Quiz makes it easy to turn this week into something special. Here are a few ideas to bring it to life in your classroom or newsroom:
- Take the quiz together.
Set aside a few minutes at the start or end of class for everyone to take the quiz. Compare results, share laughs and see which personalities stand out on your staff. You’ll be surprised how much you learn about each other. - Create a Yearbook Personalities board.
Print or write each person’s result and display them on your whiteboard or wall. Add photos or fun quotes from each staffer. It’s a great way to build pride, celebrate individuality and show visitors what makes your team unique. - Pair up complementary personalities.
Use the results to encourage collaboration. Have your Word Wizards team up with Snapshot Superstars, or your Checklist Champs partner with Last-Minute Legends. It’s a fun exercise in teamwork and appreciation for different skill sets. - Turn it into a staff celebration.
Host a quick celebration to wrap up the week – bring snacks, play music and share what each person brings to the team. Recognize everyone’s strengths, big and small. - Share your results on social media.
Encourage students to post their quiz results with the hashtags #YBKPersonalityQuiz + #NYW2025 and tag @WalsworthYearbooks.
