Why do we need yet another personality test? Because, without "big data" technologies online "personality tests" suffer these problems:
- With most tests, we quickly see a pattern to the answers, and can easily steer the test to the outcome we want
- Do we really learn anything when we "cheat" this way? (No)
- Test writers like to invent their own cryptic definitions for commonly understood words
- See various definitions for Extrovert, Intuition, Conscientious,etc.
- The math to calculate the results must be kept simple (weighted sums), to reduce server overhead
- To keep in line with the simple math, a lot of these tests force an un-natural, robotic answer format
- Do I strongly or highly agree with the statement they just presented to me?
Freshlex, LLC presents a "big data" personality test, for charity. Our test differs from traditional tests:
- Ours is fun! A combination of serious, thought provoking, and silly questions
- Random, arbitrary questions
- We won't see a pattern until enough people take the test and we crunch the numbers
- Simple "yes" or "no" answers... no "somewhat/ slightly/ strongly agree" garbage
- Since we do the "heavy lifting" on the back end, we can keep it fun and simple for the user
- Ours goes to charity
- We will be open about the expenses involved in this voyage. If by some miracle we figure out how to make money off this, we'll donate it to charity.
