Create a Personality Test with FlexiQuiz

With FlexiQuiz you can easily build your own personality test to learn more about your colleagues, friends and family. 

There are several ways to create a personality test depending on what you and the participant are aiming to identify.  In this guide, we'll show you how to build a personality quiz by asking participants a series of questions that can evaluate their behaviors and identify a more dominant personality trait.  Participants can be shown their result, with a brief explanation.

These are some examples of things you could find out about someone's personality using this type of test; 

• leader of follower
• romance level
• creative or logical thinker
• how emotional is someone
• sweet or savory tastes
• does someone prefer a night in or a night out
• in fact, the possibilities are endless

This guide will show you how to create a pre-employment personality test.

How to set-up a fun personality test

This is how to set up a personality test with FlexiQuiz.

• Create your questions based on the behavior you are trying to measure
• Add some answer options and score the options based on the dominance of the behavior
  • In our example test we've given each option a score of 1 to 4 points.  The option that shows the strongest leadership quality gets the most points 
  • The higher the total score, the greater the strength of that personality trait
• You also have the option to add several features, helping encourage participants to give an accurate answer.  Such as;
  • Add a time limit so people can't over think an answer
  • Randomize questions and answers 
  • Ensure people take the quiz only once
• At the end of the quiz participants behaviors are segmented based on their overall score.  In our test, we created following bands based on these scores;
  • Less than 25% = strong follower traits
  • 26% to 49% = quite strong follower but some leadership qualities
  • 50% to 74% = strong leadership qualities
  • 75% and over = very strong leadership qualities.  However, could they be too strong without always considering the bigger picture?
• You can share the score with a brief explanation of what this means to the participant.  Paid plan members can also redirect participants to another URL for further information or insights
