Personality Lab
Proper trait questionnaires with the scoring shown, rather than a quiz that decides you are a golden retriever.
How to get the most from it
Personality Lab sits in Personality Tests under Play, filed as coffee break.
- Set aside five to fifteen minutes and give it your proper attention.
- It works on a phone or a desktop, so open it on whatever is nearest.
- It works with the sound off, so it is fine on a train or in a quiet office.
- No account needed — you can start without signing up.
- Go in expecting something brainy and clever.
About this category: Typologies, moral dilemmas, purity scores and which-character quizzes. Somewhere between genuine psychometrics and a magazine back page, and both ends are entertaining.
