Did the quiz for a friend and got primary and secondary as the same type.
Wouldn't the monotype just be that at this point? But, it's not; its primary/secondary is only listed as the third potential monotype with a score of 28.61%.
So I guess a [type]-monotype Pokemon differs from one with a [type]-primary and [type]-secondary...
accurate! I guessed I'd be fairy grass, but didn't think I was related to bug as 2nd mono, and ghost as 3rd secondary, but it fits. I like how everyone has different abilities regardless of same typings.
For the "date someone you don't know with 0 friends in common" question, it'd be nice to have a "I wouldn't date someone like this" option! I go on dates, but not with people I don't know (no blind/speed dating for me!) or have no friends in common with. For the concert option, I wish there was a choice for "both the people and noise would bother me, so I wouldn't be there" answer.
Decent quiz, just wish it had answers that fit so it could be more accurate.
#35 (greatest asset in finding a new job) - i would only move to places where i at least know someone (or someone who knows someone) and rely on the extensive network i've built to get a foot in the door
#40 (volunteer work going slow) - dissociate and entertain myself in my own head/start thinking about everything else i have to do (ie. outlining an essay in my head, meal prepping, etc.)
#45 (art form / viable career) - make a backup plan to secure an income stream while enjoying the art as a hobby in my free time
i like this quiz a lot!! some of the options on these questions are so wild, lmao; i especially love the "get in a relationship with them for at least 3 months" one for #36 !! i also appreciate the representation with "i would openly share my darker secrets. if they can't handle it, that just saves us time" on #28 and "i would become a full-throated 24/7 champion of my maligned subculture" on #24 because those are both exactly how i operate XD
i know you said you wanted feedback for any questions where we don't feel like there was an answer that encapsulates us, so here are my thoughts:
#15: i would probably not throw their personal business back at them, at least initially, but i would definitely get angry and start yelling, which isn't really represented in the answers imo
#16: mixing "go to a different section of the bookstore" and "leave the bookstore entirely" feels lowkey criminal (/lh) to me 😭 i would absolutely love to be in any section of the bookstore other than self-help and would definitely not leave without browsing elsewhere! this is probably not that important for the results, but as a reader i was like 'noooooooooo' lol
#20: usually when i plan/host a gathering, pretty much all of my friends are there no matter what the purpose is, just because we like to hang out, and most of us are otherwise free on evenings/normal hanging out times. i picked the "special reason" option because that felt the closest, but i definitely don't require a special occasion to host a get-together
PS: here are my results! i don't feel particularly strongly in favor of any of the monotype results, but i vibe with ice and normal in the primary section, as well as all three of the secondary results i got. i also find it really interesting that all of my stats are identical; though, i do tend to be very well-rounded when it comes to personality tests (for example: i score almost perfectly 50/50 for each letter in the myers-briggs test), so i suppose that makes sense! very cool test, thank you for all your hard work!!!!!
I don't always like these sorts of quizzes, but I thought this quiz looked fun. The Fairy - Fairy/Dragon result was the top result, and the Water - Psychic/Water is what I resonate most with from the available options.
Interestingly, my percentages for these types were really low. It looks like I don't correspond that well with any particular type. Somehow it feels like I got Fairy for my secondary type just by being picking responses that were moderately assertive.
I find it bizarre that my Speed (prioritizing efficiency) is lower than my Defense (physical resiliency) or my Attack (which includes a physical competence component).
If I designed my own stat spread based on the listed criteria, it would be the following:
This is a great quiz :D I'm a little salty that my favourite type wasn't in my end result, but it was fun overall :) Might share it with some friends for them to do it too eheh Although for question 29 I'd have answered something along the lines of "To uncover lost items deep within drawers that I haven't used in a while" :P Thats what I did with my old Pokémon card collection xD And also for question 31 I would have answered with "I exercise for fun" cuz I'm the kind of psychopath that enjoys running :3 33 "I'm just a chill guy"..... (this is genuinely the way people describe me 😭)
This is excellent! It must've taken so much work and time to compile everything, but it completely paid off. The results were remarkably accurate and descriptive, and I appreciate how in-depth your methodology was.
A natural evolution of this project is to make a "what pokemon are you?" quiz, that takes all the attributes represented here and finds the closest matching pokemon to your results. I bet that would be a lot of work for you, but if you would be willing to share your dataset I would like to try and make something :) (can't promise it will look nearly as pretty as yours though!)
Regardless, great work! I'm really impressed with it all.
First off, thank you so much! It did indeed take a lot of work, and I'm so happy that you feel it's paid off :)
I think sharing my dataset is a really good idea! When it comes to the final attributes, the type breakdowns, and the parameters for assigning attributes to Pokedex entries, that's totally something I can do, and I would like to do that! It would take some time/effort to clean up all the old versions and unused data, but I could definitely make something legible from all of it.
When it comes to sharing the aggregates of Pokedex entries (the parts that look like the Oddish example in the 'Methodology' section) it's unfortunately WAY trickier, and that is nobody's fault but my own.
(I'm so sorry, I know you didn't ask for this explanation, but I haven't shared it before and I would like to!)
For starters, the Pokedex aggregates are split up by type across multiple documents, because having pictures helped me focus, but having too many pictures in one document made my 2013 laptop cry. That only makes it slightly more annoying than the other doable things that I listed earlier, so it's not a huge problem.
The REAL issue is that I kept redefining the parameters for attributes (to make them as relevant/accurate as possible) which meant I kept having to re-evaluate the entries, and at a certain point, I just stopped updating the entries themselves, and would simply make a note of what had to change (e.g. +3 to Fire-Primary "Powerful Attack" or whatevs).
And I did that a whole bunch of times, so now there's a bunch of scattered documents (mostly digital, mercifully!) with notes about my alterations, and new rules/parameters, and it's all just a real mess.
So the Pokedex entry aggregates/analyses themselves (which would obviously be most important to the project you're describing) are no longer accurate, and they are littered with references to attributes which were either removed due to a lack of relevance, or got folded into other stuff to make them more universal. (R.I.P. "Hierarchical", "Discerning (Food/Objects)", "Clique-ish", "Nocturnal", "Intelligent", "Giving", "Protective", and so many more attributes that sadly weren't common enough to test for on their own).
Long story short: It would take a buttload of editing, but since you've brought it up, I do really like this idea! - it would be good closure for me to just make all my data available/legible for whoever wants it, and I would very much like to do that when I have some free time.
Thank you again for the kind words, the good idea, and the opportunity to complain about my own horrible bookkeeping - I didn't realize how much I was holding onto that :)
Lovely bit of fun! I especially like the detailed methodology and the discussion of people changing as they "evolve"—an often-overlooked aspect of any personality sorting game. Results for posterity:
Weird to get the same primary/secondary type but a different monotype (makes sense with the described methodology of course) but I guess the takeaway here is no matter what, Imma get wrecked by fighting moves :p My traits are ... simply perfect. No notes.
Since we are invited to mention questions where we didn't quite match with any answer, here are mine. Some of them are maybe a little bit close to existing answers? But there's a difference in tone that feels important to me (and of course, I know you're not obligated to add anything!). But in any case:
[Q7] "That I'm truly happy being myself."
[Q12] "Ooh, this factors perfectly into my existing plans to lie around and play video games."
[Q13] "Digital is my preferred medium anyway. Perfectionism demands an undo button."
[Q14] "Thorough. I want to understand the puzzles and make sure everybody gets a go; just getting lucky defeats the point!"
[Q18] "Overexplain and argue relentlessly until we reach a conclusion that satisfies me."
[Q19] "Definitely more stressed, but I have to admit I'll enjoy this excuse to hyperfocus."
[Q20] "I was only going to invite my closest friends anyway—they won't need convincing." (or equally "Even if I wanted to, my home is MUCH too small for a party." :p)
[Q24] "I couldn't care less what the media has to say about things I love. It's probably just clickbait anyway."
[Q29] "My physical/mental comfort and convenience" (And on behalf of my beloved partner: "The needs of my partner or roommate." )
[Q36] "I care so little about my appearance that I probably don't even realise they're talking about me."
[Q49] "I'll try to block out the noise—they probably don't mean for me to hear their personal stuff. But I'll ask later in case they need to talk."
If anything though, I had more problems with questions where more than one answer is equally as correct (for example—on the buffet, I am absolutely as gluttonous as I am picky). Given the methodology, could this maybe work just as well allowing multiple answers to a question?
Um. Apologies for the essay, it got a bit out of hand <XD And great work :}
Hey hey, first off, I'm glad you had fun with this! And I love so much that you read and enjoyed the methodology section, it warms my heart so greatly.
These are some really good answer suggestions, and written in such a helpful/stylish way, no less! I especially like the ones for Q36 (that is a great new angle!) and Q29 (this is one of those answers that I myself would probably choose). Your suggestions are realistically nuanced (and also quite sweet, imho) and they make a great case for why there should be a mechanic where you can select multiple options for each question.
I did indeed have plans to implement that multiple-answer mechanic, but other life things have taken priority (AKA I sadly need to focus on my job and health) and it's unlikely that I'll have the space to get it done any time soon.
Anyway, thank you again for the amazing comment and the kind words! I hope you have a lovely day :)
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
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 :)
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!
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.
Okay, leaving comment regarding questions I feel didn't have my answers, because that was asked. I really did try to use my imagination for these.
For intense job least likely to break you, I think this could benefit from "I have no way of knowing" kind of answer. Those who have never been employed, those who struggle in non-intense jobs, that kind of thing. (That question was the one that took me longest for that reason).
For a subculture gaining negative media attention, perhaps being the type not to affiliate oneself with a subculture to begin with? I have hobbies, I like some fashions, but I more just pick and choose what I like and don't really feel a sense of belonging to any community because of those things.
For the really big test approach, I struggled to answer because realistically, my approach would've combined the options: I would've relied on my existing knowledge to get a good grade, but do a quick refresher the night before to ensure a perfect or nearly perfect score.
For the first date/sharing info question, I'd just talk about whatever's relevant to where the conversation goes, as opposed to deliberately being open or secretive for a specific goal. I don't have any "secrets" to share per se anyway. So basically, I'd be open, but not for a purpose of vetting people.
For the "jerk makes a vulgar remark about what you're wearing," I struggled not only because none of the answers felt quite right, I also felt like there'd be too many variables that would affect how I handle the situation.
Lastly, for the "ambitious project that was exciting a month ago," this has happened to me so I know exactly how I'd handle it. I'd TELL myself I'm putting it on the backburner, but it would fizzle out, and I'd feel upset about the window passing and my own inability to do it.
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 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.

This was a really interesting quiz and some of the questions made me sit there for a moment and consider LOL anyways here's my results :P

75s across the board... Huh
For the "date someone you don't know with 0 friends in common" question, it'd be nice to have a "I wouldn't date someone like this" option! I go on dates, but not with people I don't know (no blind/speed dating for me!) or have no friends in common with. For the concert option, I wish there was a choice for "both the people and noise would bother me, so I wouldn't be there" answer.
Decent quiz, just wish it had answers that fit so it could be more accurate.
Question 24 is misspelled. It says "relationsip" when it should say "relationship".
Cool... get it because it's ice... which is frozen water... ummm... yeah.
do you think theres any possibility to select multiple choices in the questions, if we feel like multiple are a tie/apply?
For the jar opening question, the answer "try with your teeth even though it definitely wont help" would be a good addition
#35 (greatest asset in finding a new job) - i would only move to places where i at least know someone (or someone who knows someone) and rely on the extensive network i've built to get a foot in the door

#45 (art form / viable career) - make a backup plan to secure an income stream while enjoying the art as a hobby in my free time
I cant really see the part where Coolheaded applies to me but this is a cool test that Ive shared with a couple friends and they also enjoyed it
Knew id get some sort of fairy but ice, you learn something new
This was amazingly precise, thank you.
i like this quiz a lot!! some of the options on these questions are so wild, lmao; i especially love the "get in a relationship with them for at least 3 months" one for #36 !! i also appreciate the representation with "i would openly share my darker secrets. if they can't handle it, that just saves us time" on #28 and "i would become a full-throated 24/7 champion of my maligned subculture" on #24 because those are both exactly how i operate XD

Might share it with some friends for them to do it too eheh

Let's do it ❤️
im all normal :( also all my abilities revolve around me being fat lol I love this test so much

I got ice as a monotype, ice for my 1st type and steel as my 2nd O_O
Great quiz, I absolutely love it!
Little typo on question 24, "relationsip" :)
For question 21, where's the "I'm the therapy friend, I've expected this at this point" option 💔💔💔
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!
