Personality Project
Personality Project
Now that you’ve taken some personality tests, it’s time for you to make your own. You will choose which
quality you are testing for, generate a list of questions, determine how the answers to those questions
translate into aspects of personality, and write the results descriptions.
1. First, provide a brief explanation of the purpose and identify the specific traits or dimensions you
want to measure.
a. What are you measuring? Ex: how you argue, whether someone’s stubborn, what makes
them happy
b. What are you using to measure it? Ex: Which pizza topping are you? What do your pokemon
choices mean about how you argue? Using book titles to guess your superpower.
2. Set clear expectations for the participants.
a. Provide instructions for how to take the test.
b. Should they go with their gut instinct or take some time to think it through? etc.
3. Decide on the results.
a. How many different results will there be? Remember, you don’t need 16 like Myers-Briggs.
Minimum of 4 results.
i. Your results can be pizza toppings or a number like the enneagram test or a set of
letters. You choose.
b. Write the description for each result. Explain the implications of each trait and how they
contribute to the overall personality.
i. This is the little blurb after you finish taking the quiz that will tell you how to interpret
the results. Don’t just tell someone, “You’re pepperoni!” They need to know what that
means in terms of their personality.
ii. Each result should have an image/graphic that makes sense.
iii. Finally, offer personalized feedback or recommendations based on the individual's
results. This can include suggestions for personal development, career choices, or
relationship dynamics.
4. Develop a set of questions that relate to each trait dimension. The questions should be clear,
concise, and relevant.
a. What types of questions will you have?
i. Multiple choice: Each answer corresponds to each result.
ii. This/That: Choose which answer best describes you.
iii. Rate yourself: Give a statement and ask if they strongly agree, agree, disagree, etc.
b. How will those questions and answers lead you to a result?
i. For example, does each answer correspond to one result? Basically, if I answer “A”
that would give me a point towards result 1. If I answer “B” then that would give me a
point towards result 2, etc.
ii. Or maybe each question is focused on a result and your answer determines the
amount of points. Ex: I prefer to spend time by myself. If they answer “agree” maybe
that gives them 5 points towards the result “introvert.”
c. Minimum of 5 questions.
