This was so much fun omg!! I love that you can check what the answers for everything else are.
Are you supposed to be able to get two of the same type for your dual-type? My friend got fairy primary and fairy secondary for their #1 result on the dual-types making them a fairy/fairy type with their mono type as fire.
I love this quiz, I always keep on coming back to it every so often to see what the new options are and if there are any new questions / answers, as well to see how much I've changed! I don't like most quizzes since I find them to be too short to mean anything, but this quiz is just right - not too short to be inconclusive, and not too long to get boring. Really excited to see what else you add in the future! Thank you for making this!
I believe the quiz just called me fruity as all hell... 0.0 not that its wrong, just a bit of a surprise! XD
Fun quiz, I really enjoyed it. Really liked having the alternate results at the end, too (Water mono, Ice and Water duo), cuz it was fun to see how things might lean a lil those ways. Now, to scour the pokedex for a team that matches my results :3
This is indeed an interesting result, perhaps powerful even. And I made sure to pick the typings on the board that I am comfortable with.
(Image of my results is hidden below.)
A balanced stat with a lower Speed and slightly higher Attack stat sounds accurate. What is made up for is the fact that I have Slush Rush...while being an Ice type.
Lightning Rod is funny because I main a Swampert, and that I could also be a lightning type in a sense.
And I actually have a character that better fits the "Ice-Normal" typing, but I guess I am one too, which I am amused of. I always believed that I was more like an "Dragon-Electric" type, but going by Bonsly's definitions, that might have been a loose presentation.
For question 16, eating breakfast slowly while watching videos was the closest answer I could make. But what I really do is spend all morning mentally preparing for the day before doing all of my daily morning stuff within the last 2 hours
For question 36 the only thing I'd reasonably do is stare them down with a weirded out look because it's really strange for someone I don't know to suddenly do that unprovoked
Question 34:
Play an overly violent video game to just enjoy the carnage and take our mind off what made you angry.
It's definitely overly weighted towards fairy. Primary 2 [36.24] and secondary 1 [64%]being psychic, yet the second monotype is fairy in spite of only having primary 3 be fairy [35.07]
So the way this happens is that the monotype, primary, and secondary results are all calculated separately - in analyzing Pokedex entries, I distinguished between the traits of a monotype vs. either half of a dual-type, because there seemed to be some significance in that distinction (to acknowledge whatever logic causes them to make 93% of Flying-types Flying-secondaries, for instance). There's usually a lot of overlap in traits between a type's monotype/primary/secondary varieties, but certain types (like Fairy) can be a little more spread out. I hope that clears things up!
Not sure if I'm really liking the results this time. I first took this test about a month ago and the typing I got was Ground (Ground/Water), and I decided to take the test again after about 3 updates. Now I'm getting pure Ice, or Fire/Bug for dual typing. I feel like I agreed with the description of Ground more than Ice, not that I really disagree with Ice though. Now it could be a case of "this is what I wish to be vs what I actually am", but I noticed my friends were all getting Ice type. Maybe we're all just that similar?
Anyway I'll talk about some questions
Question 22: I would never go to such an event. Why is there no "I would never go to such an overwhelming and loud event" option? I love music too, but my love of music does not require me going to music festivals or concerts. I would much rather stay away cuz I don't wanna blow my ears out.
Question 23: This question just feels strange in general. Least likely to break you? In what way? Physically? Mentally?
Question 24: I feel like there should be an answer that represents not really sharing your interests like that in the first place. Like this question seems to assume that your subculture is something that people know you're into, which may not even be the case at all.
Question 42: This one is kind of complicated because I wouldn't feel just one way. I'd feel annoyed but also thankful.
I'm genuinely sorry to hear you don't like your new results as much, that's a real bummer. As you say, it could indeed be that you and your friends are all a little similar, and it could be that you're seeing a "what you want vs. what you are" situation, but also -- and it's not fun saying this -- it could just be that the test needs to be more thoroughly re-balanced after the huge influx of new answers in the latest update.
There's another pretty big answer update in the works (including a few from this comment - stay tuned!) so I'll do a more rigorous balance check after I put those in.
I do hope that somewhere in your top 3 results, you still got Ground, since that feels right to you.
Anyway, onto your suggestions!
Q22: Funnily enough, I had thought that I had covered this option, but I'm now realizing that the answer I was thinking of specifically says, "that amount of people stresses me out" as opposed to the noise level. I can definitely add a new answer that reflects that distinction!
Q23: You're not wrong... this is a strange question, and I've re-written it a bunch of times to make it more workable for folks... I can't specifically comment on it right now, but I'll find some way to make it clearer, or to write some totally new question that still gets the information that I need from it.
Q24: This is a reasonable response, and I'll do my best to make room for it! (There's another not-yet-added suggestion that I'm also going to try to get in there, but I think I can fit both.)
Q42: That is indeed a little complicated. It's kind of hard to combine things there, because I'm now realizing that all of the other answers could be combined with saying "thank you"... it might be easier to simply take out the "saying thank you" part, and stick to the feelings someone might have, regardless of what actions they take. (Or it might be due for a total re-write as well....)
Anywho, thank you for the suggestions! I hope your results after the next update feel a little more accurate :)
Question 14:
Answer choice: Jolly, it's time to prank my friends
(or something along the lines of teasingly annoying the friends)
What a fun response! Thank you for the suggestion, and I'll for sure put that in the next answer update :)
Question 53: Best qualities in a job hunt.
Answer choice: "Intelligence. I know AI exists but it's still good to be smart."
What does AI have to do with helping you find a job? You can't have it answer the interview questions for you. Moreover, "it's still good to be smart" is a bizzare line, as if that's even in question.
I don't see why the answer should even mention AI. Being genuinely intelligent and able to prove that in an interview is why someone would choose that answer.
So that answer was specifically requested, and the requester made a note of how they feel like intelligence (as in math smarts) are increasingly devalued. I can see how that's just making things more confusing, so I'll change it, thank you for the suggestion!
question 42: i'd like if Awful was less extreme
Agree with this. Question 42's answers are weirdly unempathetic. I can feel awful to a reasonable degree and remedy the situation, not just give up on the friendship.
Gotcha, I can add another answer to allow for more nuance - thank you for the suggestion!
Question 23: does 'logger' mean 'lumberjack'? please change because it's slightly unclear
Can do!
Thank you for the suggestions! I'm gonna go through these one by one:
Intense job question: Having a "struggles in non-intense jobs" option would be very useful information, so I can put that in the next update. As far as "I have no way of knowing" goes, that is also incredibly valid, and I'll play around with it, but I worry that so many people would jump to that option that it would completely negate the question.
Subculture question: I think I can add this one, thank you!
Test question: I think I can add this one as well!
Date question: I think most people would probably share things as they come up, and not just blurt out secrets without prompting, so I can reframe the question to make it more clear that we're talking about when something comes up, how much do you share.
Vulgar remark question: I don't think I can help you on this one , as I don't think there's any way to make this more specific without making it exclusionary to a lot of people. This one might just need a total redo...
Ambitious project question: This an INCREDBILY relatable answer you've given, and I will 100% put that in.
Thank you again :)
Thank YOU for reading it and responding! All of these replies are understandable, even the ones where my suggestions aren't feasible. This is a great quiz! I had attempted to share my results, but posting a comment with an image gave me an error message :'( I know that's not your fault though! Just something in the website.
Aw bummer! Itch can be weird sometimes I guess :(
I'm glad you liked the quiz though!
In Order, from biggest to smallest
Ice, Normal & Fighting, Ground, Dragon, that works
A message to convey? : )
As much as I like the description, as much as the insect type is really not a type that interests me.
Otherwise good job, I try to redo the test with each important update, and I can see your involvement. So congratulations :)
First off, thank you so much! I do put a lot of effort into this, and I like to think it gets better with every update, so I'm genuinely glad you're coming back to see it :)
Also thank you for sharing your results, even though you're not so into the Bug-type. Personally, I think Bug-type Pokemon are really cool, but hey - maybe next time will be different!
Thank you again :)
It's very accurate xD
I'm so glad you think so! :)
(also thank you for sharing your results! - I can't explain it, but it always warms my heart to see an absurdly long stat bar)
Hello great quiz! I was curious how I was getting "Fast" despite having Speed be my lowest stat. I thought that was an interesting discrepancy. I also see that you take suggestions so I wanted to provide some for you, since some I didn't have an answer that felt great, though I understand you might not be able to take all of them.
Question 2: You find a box marked “free on the side of the road, full of various pieces of wood, metal, and plastic. Which best describes your most likely reaction? Proposed Answer: I’d check to see if there is anything that is unique that might look cool and would put on display at my place. I love collecting weird things!
Question 16: You’ve just woken up, and it’s a work or school day. What are you most likely to do for yourself within the first hour of being awake? Proposed Answer: Hit snooze! Maybe hit snooze again! Just give me more sleep, I’m so comfy!
Question 28: You’re on a first date with someone you met on a dating app, with no friends in common. What’s your most likely approach to sharing things about yourself? Proposed Answer: I would see if we shared any similar interests and share why they were important to me or how they shape who I am!
Question 29: You feel it’s time for a change, and you’re reorganizing everything in your bedroom, including the furniture. What aspect of your life is this new layout most likely to support. Proposed Answer: A sense of aesthetic and a taste for something new! (clearing stagnant energy?)
Question 33: If your neighbors were asked about what you’re like, what sort of consensus would they most likely have? Proposed Answer: Some might say I seem like a nice person, but no one really knows me.
I also was curious how the abilities were chosen/sorted through. Anyway great work and thank you for your time and energy <3
What a lovely comment, both in terms of content and format! (I'm a sucker for cleanly-written paragraphs and well-placed italics.)
To answer your first question, I've actually seen this Fast/Speed discrepency several times before, but I think your results have set a new record for incongruity - congratulations! The way this happens is that the attributes ("Fast", "Coolheaded", etc) are calculated first - they're what the answers directly affect, and they're the basis for almost* all of the other results. The presence or absence of certain attributes are used to calculate the stats, and "Fast" is certainly the most heavily-weighted attribute when calculating Speed, but it's not the only one.
*there's a few specific answers you can choose that will have a more direct impact on some of the Abilities, but they're rare.
In the case of your particular Fast/Speed mismatch, the lower Speed may be the result of lower scores in attributes like "Reckless", "Shedding", or "Routine-Based", or higher scores on stuff like "Whimsical" - there's more factors, but looking at the rest your results and the answers you suggested, those would be my most likely culprits.
Alternatively, since the stats are calculated as a percentage and always add up to a stat total of 450, it could also be that the attributes feeding into the other stats were just really strong.
As for your other question about how Abilities are chosen, the Abilities are the most direct result of the attributes - almost 1-to-1. So for instance, everyone who gets the 'Fast' attribute will get an Ability directly tied to that. In your case, you got "Swift Swim" because of your heavier Water-typing, but other possibilities could have been "Speed Boost", "Sand Rush", "Slush Rush", or "Quick Feet".
This was a total accident, but I do love that some of the Abilities can potentially explain the discrepencies between the attributes and stats, as you observed. So for instance, if I'm envisioning the Pokemon that matches the description in your results, I'm imagining something that's usually slow, but becomes lightning fast when it's raining.
I hope that answers your questions, and if not, let me know - every time I explain myself, I grow more powerful :)
And speaking of answers, thank you for the suggestions! Here's what I can do with those:
Q2: Funnily enough, I just added the largest-yet answer update (literally a few hours after you posted - rough timing!) but I think one of the new answers might cover you on this one. It's the one that goes "I maybe take a few things that look interesting, just because I like collecting cool things." It's lacking the "display" part, but would that have spoken to you as a viable answer?
Q16: I absolutely love this answer, and I love the way you wrote it! It's totally going in the next answer update, and I think I have the space to put it in your exact language.
Q28: I think this one's valid, but I might need to work it a little bit to make sure that it plays nice with the other answers and doesn't overshadow them or break the question.
Q29: Here's another one that sort of got addressed in yesterday's update, where I added "I'd organize based more on aesthetics than any functionality," except that I think yours actually has a new wrinkle with clearing stagnant energy - that's so evocative and feels different, and I think I'll probably add that one too!
Q33: And one more now-addressed answer, but this feels kind of different. The new one is "They'd all have experienced the same sanitized version of my personality," which feels like the same concept, but it feels like it has a different tone... would that answer speak to you, and if not, what would you say is missing?
I hope that response wasn't too long! I get very excited about these things. Thank you again for the suggestions, for the kind words, and for sharing your results - it always makes me happy to see what people get :)
This was immensely helpful! I've been sharing this with a bunch of friends and seeing their different results have been interesting. Also seeing a trend with the people I keep around and the results they have been receiving (A lot of Normal/Fairy type results). I could tell in this particular test that the Pokédex entry and the Abilities really tied together to portray this flavorful description of a Pokémon, and so I have greatly enjoyed imagining that in consort with the typing results.
Stats are interesting here. I see that typing bonuses have been put on the wayside, but I think that was a very cool idea!! I suppose my answers is showing that I hold a bit of balance across the board, and that is what it's prioritizing. Part of me wants to feel that unique blend of hyper differentiation and nuance, but that's more of a me thing then a stats thing. I was wondering if there was a way to break the limit so to speak? The way I understood you was that I received Fast, because I hit certain markers, but not enough additional speed markers to outweigh the percentages in the other categories. However, what if my results were so high in categories that it went over the 450 allotment? To account for the weighted strength of my answers. Perhaps I like long stat bars too and am sad that I did not receive one. So this paragraph was more of a ramble of ideas let's go, than constructive. I suppose incorporating stat bonuses from strong Pokémon type results could aid this distinction for those that have a strong showing of a type since it's a way to achieve the bonus without messing with your algorithm.
It seems all my answers are up for consideration for being added to the future, except Q33, so I'll respond to that (I did see the change in Q2 and was like that's perfect for me!). Q33 is really interesting. I think what's missing for me is that "sanitized" implies like a polite, mask that you put on for strangers. I think where it differs for me, is that I think I'm a warm/nice person in general and if you interact with me that's your first impression of me. However, I do not necessarily share myself or develop relationships with neighbors. So I could see them saying that oh this person is nice, but I can't tell you anything else about them. Basically warm introvert energy, versus the outgoing response that shows connectivity and bonds, where one of your neighbors really knows you or the "sanitized" version that implies you are withholding aspects of yourself to keep the peace. If one of my neighbors really knew me, I'd assume a friend had moved into the neighborhood and I'd differentiate them from other neighbors that I have a distant but warm and pleasant relationship with. Simultaneously if I felt close to a neighbor, I'd probably stop referring to them as a neighbor and calling them my friend.
While I'm here I'd like to echo the support on marshawk's take on the big test question. I was going to originally suggest something similar, but decided against it. I thought maybe the 2nd answer was close enough, but historically that combination of faith in my own knowledge/light brushing up also meant that I thought I would do well/ace the test versus just a passing grade. Which I think speaks to confidence and faith in your mental capabilities.
It seems like we might both like long, thorough replies. So I just will again thank you for your time and generosity for hearing me out. <3
First off, thank you for sharing this with your friends, and for your kind words about the results, I'm so happy that you find them flavorful! I actually really like that metaphor/language, I'm gonna just marinate in that for a bit :)
I think I found a bit of a happy middleground for the stats, where they're still solely the results of the various attributes, but the attributes used have become a lot more focused, so stuff like 'Fast' became even more closely tied with the speed stat. With a more narrow focus, I think there's a lot more potential for more extreme-looking results, but without sacrificing what the stats actually mean.
So... heads up, the next several paragraphs were written when I was misunderstanding the meaning of "what if my results were so high in categories that it went over the 450 allotment?" - my reading brain is a little off today, and I originally read that as a "what would happen then?" type of question, but after writing the full response to that, I'm only now realizing that you already understood this and were offering a suggestion for how things could be calculated. (I left my overexplanation in anyway, because there is technically some new info in there - might be interesting, feel free to take it or leave it!)
To the suggestion though, I would say that I want to avoid deliberately allowing a stat total of greater than 450, to avoid giving someone objectively "better" stats than someone else. (Although as you'll see, it can still techically happen....)
Regardless, this project is constantly evolving (no pun intended!) so getting feedback like this is always valuable, even if I can't implement it at the moment!
OVEREXPLANATION START ---
No matter how strong one stat is, your results would still never go over 450, at least not because of one stat being particularly strong. So, the attributes feeding into stats (Fast, Coolheaded, etc) are averaged, and then that average is graded* on a scale of 1 to 10. So let's say those gradings were:
HP: 1, Atk: 1, Def: 1, S-Atk: 1, S-Def: 1, and Speed: 10 (this is absurdly unlikely, maybe even impossible, and as extreme as it can get!)
The total of those would 15, and so the Speed stat of 10 would be calculated as a percentange of 450, like so:
(10/15)*450 = 300
and then each of the other stats would be:
(1/15)*450 = 30
So then we'd get 300+30+30+30+30+30 = 450
*this grading is not just 1-to-1, and is specifically set up to draw a greater distinction between more "average" results - so for instance, the gap in between grades 5 and 6 is very small, the gap between 6 and 7 is a little bigger, the gap between 7 and 8 is even bigger, etc. The purpose of this is to make more average results a more dynamic, while reserving more extreme grades for exceptionally extreme results.
The only way you could get a bigger or smaller stat total is through rounding, since all stats are rounded to the nearest 5. I have tried doing it without rounding, and this might be a matter of personal taste, but something about it just makes everything look more confusing/messy/unsatisfying.
So like... if the stats were 73, 73, 73, 73, 73, 85, all those 73s would get rounded up to 75, so you'd get a total 460. I figure this 440-460 range isn't a huge difference, but I just don't want to cause it on purpose.
OVEREXPLANATION END ---
On to answer stuff!
Q33: "Warm introvert energy" REALLY speaks to me! I'm totally with you here, and that question definitely has space for another answer, so I'll put something a little more nuanced in the next answer update! :)
Q25: (The test question) Totally hearing you and marshawk on this one, and that's gonna go in the next update as well!
Thank you too for taking the time to write such thoughtful comments, it's a joy to respond to stuff like this :)
I just wanted to take the time to say thank you! I always enjoy a nerding out or over explanation. Looking forward to the next update. Hope all is well as the year ends. <3
This was absolutely fantastic and my results were SPOT-ON. And as a Lapras myself, I was very happy to get Ice-type :3
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked the test, and that you liked your results, and that being a Lapras does not prevent you from using a human computer :)
im water tribe pokemon
Hell yeah :)
this was great , thanks for helping me discover my true pokemon typ
My pleasure, I'm glad you liked it :)
if you would like , when i upload the video , i could post it on the wall so you can see it?
LOVED this little quiz. It was so fun! ♥ Got a handful of suggestions for specific questions though that I found lacking or like I couldn't find an answer for, personally. Thank you for making this cute little and very in depth quiz!
Quesiton 3 didn't really have any options that fit for me, personally. The thing that would /most/ make me want to go to a place my friend invited me to is simply the fact they invited me/I like hanging with my friends lol. I think it's an easier question, for me, to answer of what would make me not want to go.
Question 7 didn't have anything I'd pick either. I think I'd pick something about being able to maintain relationships (platonic and/or romantic), point to good hygiene, good immune system/lack of doctor visits or something in one of those veins.
Question 17: could add options for self help about interpersonal relationships (whether it's marriage books or how to maintain friendship type books.)
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!
Normally when folks make suggestions, I go through them one-by-one and say what I can do and what I can't, but in this case, there's no need to - these are all uncomplicatedly great/original answers you've given me, and I'll add them in the next update :)
EDIT: I'm adding the latest round of answers now and I just realized that I might not have space for your response for Question 3, BUT after I do this round of questions, I'm going to start work on a new modular question system, so if I can't get it in now, I'll get it in there for sure.
It’s skipping a lot of questions for me ~ like I answer 1 and my next question is 3, it skips nearly half the questions. Is that intentional?
I'm sorry that happened for you, it is definitely not intentional!
Outside of this one specific answer error that was resolved months ago, I haven't heard of this happening - may I ask what browser/device you're using? I know that this test can be a janky on phones and that Firefox apparently has some graphic issues with it (both of which I need to sort out) but this is a new one for me.
I feel like there's a lack of options for when you don't do something or kind of shut down because you're simply too timid/discouraged to keep going. I know there were a lot of questions that if they had answers like that I would have picked that option. Overall, I think it was a great test, and the results were fitting. Apparently I'm either Fairy or Fairy/Water and judging from the descriptions you wrote,those were good matches.
First off, I'm glad you liked the test!
Second, I totally hear you about the shut down options, and I can definitely add some in. I'll re-check all the questions for this, but just in case my imagination is lacking, do you remember any questions that stood out as being particularly needy on this front?
I'm sorry, I don't remember any ones. I haven't touched itch in weeks.
Hmmmm...the escape room one doesn't quite feel like it fits me entirely. I would personally be excited--I love solving puzzles, and while I'd be disappointed if I don't solve much, I still wanna help others as best as I can! Heck, I'd be fine doing one solo!
It's crazy how often folks suggest answers that I myself would pick, but somehow didn't think to include! Needless to say, this is a great response, and it's totally going in the next answer update :)
I guess I'm a dragon slayer.
Someone's gotta be! Thanks for sharing your results :)
Me: I wonder what types it'll say for me.

Quiz: FIRE
I love how much this screen looks like a warning (literally a red flag!) but then all the details are really sweet.
Thank you for sharing your results!
so im kinda confused, why do i have three choices of results? like i want an explanation of what the numbers mean, like can i mix and match? do i just pick ones i like the most? itd probably be good to have some explanation somewhere in the main menu, i did read through stuff but i didn't find anything that explained it, and results because ye
These are all great questions! I am currently working on adding a section that answers all of them, but I can do a short version here:
The reason you have three choices of results is because I feel like getting a single result from a personality test is boring and restrictive. I like having the option to dig a little deeper and make my own conclusions about myself, especially since every personality test -- including this one -- will inherently have flaws and blind spots.
Plus, people have pre-existing connections with specific pokemon types, so I wanted to provide more opportunities for users to see something that they already connected with. Conversely, if they get a result they don't like, I wanted to leave space to identify with something other than a type they already hated.
So on that note, you can ABSOLUTELY mix and match, and in fact, I think it's a great idea! Originally, I didn't even have the numbers visible, because I just wanted folks to decide for themselves based on their top 3 most likely results, but then folks wanted to see their numbers, so I put 'em in.
The numbers themselves indicate the likelihood that you're a specific type. There's a lot of attributes (46, specifically) that feed into the different type calculations, so between all those factors, it's normal for the numbers to not appear conclusive.
But that's also just pokemon in general. Like, a Mankey doesn't match up with all the most common traits of Fighting monotypes, but it's still a Fighting monotype - even outliers need a home!
Bonus Explanation: as a little side-thing, the Pokedex color changes based on the strongest association across all mono/primary/secondary types (e.g. Fairy here) and the stat bar color changes based on the second-strongest association* (e.g. Flying here). It was originally just for aesthetic reasons, so that I didn't have to design around the clashing-prone Pokedex colors, but it could also provide a little structure to mixing-and-matching, if someone wanted something a little more solid.
*this doesn't happen if your strongest association is significantly stronger than the runner-up, in which case the bars will be that strongest color as well
I guess this didn't end up being the "short version", but I hope this helps explain things! If not, let me know, that would certainly be good information to have as I'm writing up the proper explanation. (Or I might just copy+paste this, tbh)
Thank you for the great questions and also for sharing your results :)
thanks for the explanation, and def would add an explanation along these lines to the game somewhere
Not sure what's going on but I'm getting a lot of questions that are cut off like this.
I'm also not sure what's going on, but I assume you were using Firefox, yes? This issue seems to be associated with the browser, but hopefully I can address it on my end!
(Also if this wasn't in Firefox, please let me know!)
Yeah, I'm using a Firefox fork called LibreWolf.
question 26 definitely needs a "why anyone would think i would be right for this job" answer
because that's how i feel whenever i need to do somethingalso, outta curiosity are there any plans to do move results? even if its just a handful of notable moves (since a full moveset calculation based on results would just be a LOT to put in)
Thanks for the suggestion, I like it a lot! I initially thought this was referring to the "friends asking to mediate" question, but this instead referring to just being asked a non-specific favor is absolutely wonderful. I think I can definitely put in something in this spirit :)
And as for moves, I was at some point planning to put them in, but I eventually dropped that in favor of Abilities, since I thought they were more descriptive and more personality-adjacent. So I'm not against the idea or anything, but I don't currently have any plans for including moves in the results.
for question 14- i would get Bossy. Chop chop people! theres a devil in me and it comes out specifically when i do group work
question 31- being stronger would in itself be/make me feel more attractive- on myself, i dont really care about muscle bigness or gut smallness as much as actual strength (though i do also like big muscles)
question 48- assuming the day is busy so i dont really have time, i wouldnt get every cart i see, but i would still get any cart along the way to the corral
Great suggestions!
Q14: I LOVE this answer, and also the specific tone you've provided! That is 100% going in the next answer update.
Q31: I like this one as well, but if I included it, there's a whole can of worms that I would be opening. For instance, I could also have stuff like, "I want to feel healthier, because that makes me feel more attractive," or "I want to feel stronger, because it makes me feel healthier," both of which are how I often feel.
Now that you mention it, it might be better if the question specifically asked about one's ultimate priority, since I think a lot of people work out for most/all of these reasons concurrently, right?
I'll play around with that one, but I think I can make it work - thank you again! :)
I loved this quiz! The depth is impressive considering the size and depth of Pokemon in general.
My Results
Monotype: 1. Fairy 2. Water 3. Grass
Primary: Water, Fairy, Normal
Secondary: Grass, Fairy, Normal
Thank you so much! And it's a good thing that Pokemon has so much depth, otherwise I wouldn't have so much data to chew on.
Thank you for sharing your results as well! :)
There were a few questions I didn't have a good answer for, but overall not that bad. I could go back through to pick out specific ones, probably.
I'm in a Discord server that had a lot of people who did this, and we couldn't really find a clear theme for the results for stats. My defense covered my speed, which is pretty funny.
I've said it in so many replies and devlogs, but those stupid-long stat bars absolutely give me life, and this is the biggest, silliest one I've seen yet :D
So I reckon y'all couldn't find a clear theme for the stats because my behind-the-scenes rationale was very, very bad. I've addressed and explained the new theme (as well as the stupid old one) in the latest devlog, if y'all want to check it out.
If you ever go back and find the specific-yet-unavailable answers to questions, definintely let me know, and thank you for sharing your results :)
First of all, thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!
And great question! The short explanation of the difference is that they're all calculated differently from the ground up. When I was pulling from Pokedex entries, I looked at each type's monotype, primary, and secondary examples seperately, mostly because I felt there had to be some significance to a type being primary or secondary. (Otherwise, why would there be so few non-secondary Flying types?)
And as for the results, the test is actually asking around "attributes" rather than types (e.g. "Helpful", "Expressive", etc) and because of how I organized things, not all attributes affect the monotype/primary/secondary of each type in the same way.
Given that process, I'm happy with how much the types tend to naturally cluster together! But yes, this does mean that, if certain specific attributes are scored high or low enough in the test, this mismatch can happen.
For instance, if you had answers that suggest a lack of reliance on physical strength, that data would support all the types visible in these results, but it wouldn't give any points to the Grass monotype. There's 46 attributes though, and both their presence and absence are relevant, so who knows what it was!
It's on my to-do-very-soon list to write out an official explanation of how the test gets/uses the attributes that define the results, but in the meantime, I hope this explains things a bit :)
That definitely explains things, thank you! Honestly the physical strength was probably where my answers were lacking for Grass monotype… I would not describe myself that way. :)
I appreciate the in-depth response, thanks so much for taking the time to answer!
super cool quiz, tho some questions i didnt have a perfect answer for
for number 28: i would go dating, but not with someone from a dating app
for number 35: all i have is my smarts, but im sure. someone. wants those.
for number 46: pull out a can of pepper spray. if they dont back off: Woe, Pepper Spray Be Upon Ye
These are some really interesting suggestions, and I kinda want to probe you about them a little bit - I hope these aren't too personal to ask, but you're 3 for 3 on piquing my interest!
Q28: This is a reasonable response! I don't think I can add it as an answer, since it skips the premise a bit and doesn't tell me a ton on it's own, other than that the test-taker doesn't like awful garbage trash. That said, I think it's a good idea to take the 'dating app' part of the question out altogether. This may or may not be relevant, but in your view, what would be the ideal place/way to meet people who you date, if not a dating app?
Q35: I strongly identify with this response and I'll consider adding it! What brand of smarts do you have, and (assuming I'm interpreting your punctuation correctly) why don't you think employers would value them?
Q46: I'm for sure including some version of this! And this is actually relevant to how I might implement it: do you always carry pepper spray?
Also dang, that is one yellow results screen! Thank you for the suggestions, and also for sharing your results :)
personally, i think id rather date someone i already know, so im more familiar with them. so probably school, work, or something else that would make us Not Strangers
i have math smarts, and although i feel like that is actually a valuable skill, ai exists and is probably going to steal any intelligence based jobs :(
i have not yet obtained pepper spray but i probably will once i do have it
also thanks for responding :D
That is wonderfully clarifying, thank you for responding :)
suggestion: make it possible to select multiple answers, like with question 9 for example i personnally feel multiple emotions at once if that helps
I think this is the most requested feature, and honestly, and I want it too - even I have trouble filling this thing out! I doubt it's going to appear in the next update, but it's very much on my radar, and I'll hopefully get it in soon :)
thank you! I'll be here to try it again when that happens
Loved the quiz! There were a couple of questions (can't recall exactly which ones) where my immediate answer to the question was "I WOULD PANIC" lol, but I was still able to find an answer that suited me in most of them.
Having the primary/secondary in the dual-type section be the same type feels a little strange (it'd be neat if there was a way to force them to be different), but otherwise it fits well. I'd definitely be curious to know how the stats get worked out! I think these makes me a good 'special wall' candidate :)
I'm glad you liked the quiz, and that you were able to work through your panic!
Ironically, when I originally posted this, I actually did have it so that the dual-types were forced to be different. The problem was that I couldn't figure out how to make it keep whichever one had a higher match percentage, so I just had it keep the primary type and swap the secondary with the second place option, which didn't feel right when the secondary type is a much stronger match.
...as I wrote that, I realized that I'm a little more experienced now and could probably figure it out, so... maybe I will!
As for how the stats are created, I actually just did a major overhaul, which is detailed in the latest devlog post, where I also explain there how these older stats were derived. (tl;dr: they were way less thought-out than the rest of this, so I thought more about them and actually defined them!)
So if you take it again, you may not be as much of a special wall, but I hope your stats are still good.
Anywho, thank you for sharing your results, and also for your kind words, I really appreciate it :)
This quiz was very fun, thank you! For question 14) I'd have liked to answer something along the lines of "Excited! Puzzles are fun!" - the casual answer feels too mellow, the focused answer feels too result-oriented :)
That's such a good answer, I can totally put that in! (It's wild how often y'all come up with answers that I would pick myself, but didn't think to include.)
Thanks for the suggestion, and for the kind words, and also for sharing your results :)
Question 3:
I'd research as much as I can about the location before making a decision.
Question 9:
I'd be upset only if someone I liked in the location missed them. Otherwise who cares?
Question 19:
Stressed, but I've hit tight deadlines before so I'll approach it with confidence.
Question 36:
You've probably heard this before, but I'd start laughing.
Question 44:
Go virtually non-verbal, I do not feel like speaking with them.
Question 46:
Call some of the other friends I invited, we're jumping them.
Thank you for the suggestions! Here is what I'm thinking for those:
Q3: This is probably what I would do as well, but it still begs the question, "What could you find in researching the place that would make it most appealing?" Or is it just that you want to know everything about a place before walking in? Like, does the security/knowledge make a place more appealing all on its own?
Q9: This is an interesting angle, but I don't think I can implement it at the moment - I have to be really careful about putting what-ifs that would likely be too broadly appealing. (but this would work great once I finally put in a multiple answers option!)
Q19, 36, 44, 46: These are all great answers, and I'm excited to implement them!
You've given me a lot of work to do here in the best possible way - thank you again :)
Sorry for the slow response, I didn't expect a reply.
Thank you for putting this much effort into improving the quiz.
TL:DR "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't"
The knowledge of the location makes it's more appealing than going into something blind. You could just find something you like, but it's really easy to be stuck with something you don't.
Think of it like picking between a pop quiz or a test you studied for. The test could cover a subject you're strong or weak in. Either way the test would be easier if you knew what was coming.
