You may feel like an expert on the world of work just by virtue of having experience in it. But since launching Quartz At Work this year, we’ve learned that the “obsession” areas we cover—such as identity and inclusion, leadership, and managing—are surprisingly complex. We’ve had to rethink what we “know” on several occasions, such as when a study comes across our desk making the case that certain jobs tend to be only assigned to attractive people, or when we discover new statistics about gender discrimination or the prevalence of disability in the white-collar workforce.

Take our quiz below to test what you know about these topics and others. We hope you’ll find the revelations as intriguing as we have.
