Few topics are off-limits for communication professor Lynsey Romo.

In fact, Romo’s research often resides in the realm of conversational discomfort. She studies how people talk about money, substance abuse recovery, dieting and other sensitive subjects and stigmatized traits.

A University Faculty Scholar and recent U.S. Fulbright recipient, Romo’s prolific work has appeared in top academic journals for communication as well as in media outlets such as Time, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, New York Magazine and The Guardian.

We partnered with Romo to develop this quiz, based on findings from various recent studies. Test your knowledge of taboo topics.
