There are actually quite a few questions where I felt none of the answers represent me.
For question 1, I'd most likely go if there's a form of entertainment I like. (games, movies, music, etc.)
For question 10, I'd never consider just tapping the lid or running water on it (I doubt either of those even work), but I have my own trick where I pry part of the lid with a knife. This is to let some air in, making the jar less vacuum-sealed and easier to open.
For question 11, I'd most likely not notice the text for real, and not because my phone is on do not disturb, but because I'm that focused on what I'm doing (or because I accidentally left my phone in another room).
For question 44, I hate conflict and wouldn't let an argument go on for that long in the first place.
This is all good information, and I will address it question-by-question!
Question 1: That's a great answer, and actually probably what I would pick a lot of the time. (Activities are enticing, and it's weird that I didn't think to include that.) I'll add it in the next update!
Question 10: My physics teacher parents would never forgive me if I didn't share this: tapping the lid (like making a small dent in it with a butter knife or something) operates on the principle you're describing, in that it distorts the lid and breaks the seal. Same thing with running the lid under hot water - the heat makes the metal expand more than the glass, so the seal is weakened. The more you know!
I can edit that answer to be a little more clear, re: tapping (so people don't think we're talking about ASMR tapping or something) and I can also include your method!
Question 11: This is a totally valid response, and I'll add it in the next update!
Question 44: This one's trickier. I also struggle to imagine letting an argument go that long, and I actually think that most people feel the same, so that question is meant to probe how one reacts when they're stuck in that frustrating situation. I've tried to avoid offering answers that are basically question skips, unless skipping the question is unusual/interesting/revealing in and of itself. Choosing to avoid the long argument seems like a thing that almost everyone would do, so I worry that I'd be missing out on more interesting data by offering that.
That said, your point is totally valid, and I don't like having questions that leave people out. There's actually a couple of questions like this that I feel need a larger overhaul, so along with those, I think I will either replace or reframe Question 44 so that it requires fewer internal caveats (or ideally, none at all!) on the part of the test-taker.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response/suggestions! These are really helpful and I greatly appreciate you helping to improve the test :)
For question 49, it felt odd that so many of the answers were negative. I'm not sure what answer I would want to see, but something along the lines of more proactively offering support; most of the given answers feel like they assume you're not very close with the roommate.
Dang, you're not wrong there... I think I must've been letting some personal experiences dictate the possible answers on that one.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and I'll add some more supportive responses in the next update!
Haha I got Grass as the monotype and Grass/Grass for dual. Guess that's all there is to me.
It's a chill way to be!
For question 2, I wouldn't consider them trash, but I wouldn't really have a use for them, either. Since, I don't do anything relating to construction, repairs, or arts and crafts.
Good suggestion, consider it added!
On question 23, my job would be into the deeper realms of technology - specifically, nanotechnology or possible biotechnology.
Also, on question 25, there should be an option to study as hard as possible the day before the test.
Good suggestions! For 25, that's an interesting take that I hadn't considered, and I can totally include that in the next update!
For 23, that's a completely understandable thing to ask for. However (and I hope this doesn't pull back the curtain too far) what that question is really asking around is jobs that are varying levels of physically demanding or dangerous. Since I think that most people would prefer jobs that are not dangerous or physically exhausting (a job in technology is incredibly hard, but not life-threatening), the information I want to gather with that question is about where/how someone would be able to push themselves, if they had to get a little risky.
That said, you make a good point, and I can totally see how I could rephrase the question so that folks don't feel unseen/unrepresented!
I would have liked to see question 7 have an option of "I feel no need to justify my lifestyle" or similar; it's not that I feel like I wouldn't be able to, just that I wouldn't have any interest in doing so
That is so valid, and I will definitely add that response (or something in that spirit) in the next update!
I got interesting primary and secondary types (grass and ghost). I've considered doing a grass monotype run before since it is pretty close to poison (my favorite type). This was a neat quiz!
What a coincidence! - I actually tried a Grass-only run this past week (because I was sick and stuck in bed) and somehow, this is the first time in my life that I realized that I'm actually quite bad at Pokemon strategy, so I had to change it to "MOSTLY Grass-types" to get to the end. Oh, the shame!
Anywho, Grass/Ghost is a cool combo, and I'm glad you liked the quiz! :)
Oh which gen did you run through with your grass run? I tried gen 2 with just bug once and that was brutal. There is always that one gym that always seems to give monotypes trouble in a run (mine was Jasmine).
what did you end up augmenting your grass friends with?
Gen IX... like I said, I'm really bad at strategy, even with terastallizing . I'm legit impressed that you even got to Jasmine in Gen 2 with just Bugs, especially given the first gym. That Whitney fight must've been just awful (Heracross helps, I guess?)
I ended up spicing up my Grass guys with Fairy-types - similar vibe, and having a Klefki around to no-sell the Poison offense ended up being really helpful.
I do not like how accurate this was, I feel attacked (this is a complement)
Hehe, thank you :)
I keep getting booted to Question 2 while on Question 46, if I answer the last one in the list
Ah, thank you so much for letting me know! That answer got added later in the process, and I guess it got the default scene transition code (which goes to 2).
I'm gonna go in and make sure nothing else is weird like that, but for now, that answer work should properly. Thanks again!
there should be more mono-flying types in pokemon, if not to add more varied species to the mono-flying-type card than two birds and the god of tornados.
I agree! Thank goodness for the Rookidee line, otherwise that card would be real lonely-looking.
amazing quiz, thank you so much for making this!!
thank you so much for taking it, I'm glad you liked it :)
