Cheating on a quiz that doesn’t even count tells you exactly what you’d do on one that does.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Low stakes remove the excuse. With nothing riding on it, there is no pressure story to hide behind, so the choice shows you the plain default underneath. Practising a shortcut on something small trains the hand that reaches for it later, when the stakes have changed and the reflex has not.

Treat the small ones as repetitions rather than as things that do not matter. Take the pointless quiz honestly, get the bad score, and find out what you genuinely do not know yet. That information is the only thing the quiz was ever for.
