Scoring the Juvenist quiz:
For Qs 1 – 6: Never (3 points), Sometimes (2) and Always (1).
For Qs 7-10: Always (3 points), Sometimes (2) and Never (1).
A score of 30 means you’re an Ace! A score of 20 means you’re getting there and a score of 10 means you may need to do some serious rethinking if you aim to be a juvenist.
Some of these questions will be discussed in the following weeks.
So what is a juvenist?
The terms ‘juvenist’ and ‘juvenism’ have been coined as a corollary to feminism.
A juvenist is defined as someone who advocates for the rights and needs of marginalised children, at times in the face of conflicting adult interests, including their own.
