What do we love more than a good online quiz? Bizarre Google translations.
It was, therefore, with great delight that we discovered a new dating test that’s gone viral on TikTok, largely thanks to its bizarrely-worded questions.
The FlowerBTI survey tells participants “what kind of flower” their love life represents, with answers ranging from “jana roses” to “mango tulips” to “reeds”, according to streams of TikTokers.
