In this article, we will show you how to make a personality quiz on Google Forms in just a few clicks. Simply follow the steps below.
You can create a personality quiz on Google Forms by setting up questions and providing multiple-choice answers that align with different personality traits or types.
However, Google Forms does not support assigning different scores to different answers within the same question directly, so you'll need to manually analyze the results or use formulas in Google Sheets to calculate personality types based on responses.
Below we explain how you can make a personality quiz on Google Forms:
For example, let's design a personality quiz to determine which type of leader someone is.
Title: What Type of Leader Are You?
Description: Discover your leadership style with this quick quiz! Answer each question to find out which leadership traits you embody.
For each question, we will make use of the description feature and multiple choice question type to tally the results easily.
Below are some sample questions:
Question 1: How do you approach problem-solving at work?
A. I gather my team and brainstorm solutions together.
B. I analyze the situation and come up with a plan myself.
C. I look for innovative, out-of-the-box solutions.
D. I rely on proven methods and past experiences.
Question 2: When making a decision, what do you rely on most?
A. Team feedback
B. Data and research
C. My intuition
D. Historical outcomes
Question 3: How do you motivate your team?
A. By encouraging teamwork and collaboration.
B. By setting clear goals and expectations.
C. By fostering a creative and open environment.
D. By recognizing achievements and setting examples.
Each response will align with a different leadership style: Democratic (A), Autocratic (B), Transformative (C), and Transactional (D).
Add the options as a description under each question and assign the letters as multiple choices for the user. Here's how your question should look like:
In your Google Forms, go to the "Responses" tab and click on the green Sheets icon to create a spreadsheet with the responses.
In the Google Sheets where your responses are collected, set up new columns for each personality type: Democratic, Autocratic, Transformative, and Transactional.
Write formulas to calculate the number of times each answer was chosen by a respondent. For instance, you can use the COUNTIF function to count how many times each type of answer appears for a respondent.
Here are the formulas for each column:
Democratic: =COUNTIF([Range of answers from a respondent], "A")
Autocratic: =COUNTIF([Range of answers from a respondent], "B")
Transformative: =COUNTIF([Range of answers from a respondent], "C")
Transactional: =COUNTIF([Range of answers from a respondent], "D")
Add the results from each row to get the total count of answers corresponding to each personality type per respondent.
You can then determine the predominant personality type for each respondent based on which column has the highest count.
