Build a Personality Assessment

Build a personality assessment that scores traits across custom dimensions and delivers a personalized radar chart report to every participant.

A personality assessment doesn’t score right or wrong — it reveals who someone is. Responses build a profile across multiple trait dimensions, and each participant gets a personalized radar chart that shows their unique pattern. The result feels meaningful because it reflects their own answers, not a comparison to a correct answer.

What Personality Assessments Are Good For

Use Case	Example Dimensions
Work style & communication	Direct vs. Collaborative, Analytical vs. Intuitive, Structured vs. Flexible
Self-discovery & coaching	Values, Strengths, Growth areas, Motivators
Team dynamics & culture fit	Collaboration style, Autonomy preference, Risk tolerance
Brand personality quiz	Creativity, Boldness, Warmth, Attention to detail
Learning style	Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinesthetic

Design Your Trait Dimensions First

Dimensions are the axes on the radar chart — each one is a distinct personality trait or tendency. Getting them right before writing any questions is the most important step.

Good personality dimensions are:

• Non-judgmental: every dimension should feel worth having — there’s no “bad” trait, only different tendencies
• Mutually understandable: participants see dimension names on their report, so each name should immediately make sense
• Distinct: each dimension measures something different, with minimal overlap

Aim for 4–6 dimensions. The radar chart is most readable in this range — fewer feels thin, more becomes hard to interpret at a glance.

Build Your Assessment

1. Create the Form

   Click New Form → choose an Assessment template (15+ available), or use Create with AI — describe the personality traits or style dimensions you want to explore and Evan generates questions and a starting dimension structure.

2. Define Your Dimensions

   In the form editor, open Assessment Settings and add your dimensions. The names appear directly on the participant’s radar report — choose words that feel descriptive and resonant, not clinical.

3. Add Questions Using Likert Scale

   Likert Scale is the natural field type for personality assessments — participants rate their agreement with statements like “I prefer having a clear plan before starting” rather than picking from discrete options. For each question, assign it to a dimension and set point values so stronger agreement scores higher for that trait.

4. Configure the Radar Report

   Set the End Page to Assessment Report and configure:

   • Standard Score: the reference line on the radar — what a “typical” profile looks like
   • Analysis & Suggestions: the personalized narrative per dimension, written for each score range

Writing Personality Feedback That Resonates

The Analysis & Suggestions section is the entire payoff of a personality assessment. Generic feedback breaks the illusion — specific, second-person observations make it feel like a genuine mirror.

For each dimension, write feedback for at least 3 score ranges (low / mid / high):

• Describe the tendency, don’t label it: “You tend to gather the full picture before committing to a direction” lands better than “You scored high in analytical thinking”
• Make every range feel valid: a low score on Structure isn’t a weakness — it’s a preference for flexibility and improvisation. Frame it as a genuine trait, not a deficit.
• Write in second person, present tense: “You approach problems by…” not “People with this score tend to…” — specificity creates resonance
• Keep it actionable where possible: especially for lower scores, a brief suggestion (“You might find it helpful to…”) turns insight into value

Write the high-score description first. Then ask: what does this trait look like when it’s present but not dominant? That’s your mid-range. What does it look like as a low tendency? That’s your low range. Working top-down keeps the voice and framing consistent across all three.
