Personality quiz

A personality quiz is a series of questions (usually multiple-choice) that intends to reveal something about the person who answers them. The personality quiz, unlike a knowledge quiz, has no definite set of right or wrong answers. Instead, the answers that the respondent provides are compiled and analyzed (usually according to some programmable computer algorithm) to produce a response (usually one of a finite number of responses) that supposedly indicates part of the respondent's personality and/or characteristics.

The large number of personality quizzes seen online are a recent internet phenomenon, originally derived from the concept of the personality test in using a set of question responses to determine something about a person's personality and/or characteristics. Most websites that host such quizzes often provide the HTML code for displaying the respondent's result on a blog, allowing a convenient electronic means for people to share their personality quiz results.

This type of personality quiz is not necessarily scientific, so the results may not be accurate. A number of websites provide examples of both fun and more scientific quizzes (questionnaires).
