50 personality quiz ideas for bloggers, coaches and stores

50 personality quiz ideas with titles and result types, grouped for bloggers, coaches, online stores, course sites and lifestyle brands.

By . 11 min read. .

Here are 50 personality quiz ideas, each with a working title and three or four result types. They are grouped by who they suit: bloggers, coaches, online stores, membership and course sites, and general lifestyle brands. Skim to your group, pick the idea that matches a question your audience already asks, and rename it in your own words.

All examples are hypothetical starting points, not results from real quizzes. Every result in a good personality quiz should point to something, so each idea also hints at where the result could lead.

How to pick from these personality quiz ideas

Do not start with the idea you like best. Start with the question your audience asks most often, and pick the idea that answers it.

Ask yourself three things.

  1. Does each result lead somewhere? If two results would send people to the same page, merge them. A quiz works when each type has a different next step.
  2. Can you follow up? You need a short email, a post or an offer for each result. If you cannot picture the follow-up, pick a simpler idea.
  3. Would someone share the result? If it is flattering, specific and short, yes.

Keep the first version small: four results and five to seven questions. Writing the results first makes the questions much easier. The craft of writing them is in how to write personality quiz results people want to share.

Turn any idea into a better quiz

A title and four result names are only the skeleton. A few small choices decide whether the finished quiz feels good to take.

Make the title a question about the reader. “What is your money personality?” beats “Money personality quiz” because it asks something. Titles that start with “What kind of” or “Which” tend to read as invitations.

Give the results equal weight. If one result sounds like the winner, everyone will aim for it. Write each one so a reader would be happy to be that type, with one gentle watch-out to keep it honest.

Mix your question types. Single choice will carry most of the quiz, but a rating question or a true or false in the middle keeps it from feeling repetitive. Quizably supports six question types, so use them.

Think about the image. Each result can have its own image and button link. Even a simple graphic with the result name gives people something to screenshot.

Plan what happens next. Before you publish, write down which page each result links to and which email each person receives. Ideas that have no follow-up tend to collect emails and then go quiet.

How to build it

You can build any idea in this list in an afternoon. The short version:

  1. Install a quiz plugin and create a personality quiz. If you’re choosing a quiz plugin, check that each result can have its own text and link.
  2. Write your three or four results, each with a title, description, image and button link.
  3. Write five to seven questions where each answer leans toward a result.
  4. Turn on the lead form, placed right before the result.
  5. Add the quiz to a page with a block or shortcode.

The full walk-through is in how to create a quiz in WordPress, and the personality-specific version is in how to build a personality quiz in WordPress. Quizably is free, includes all four quiz types, and has no cap on quizzes, questions or leads.

Where to go from here

Fifty ideas is a lot, and you only need one. Pick the idea closest to a question your audience already asks, write the results, and build the smallest version you can. Publish it, watch the result distribution in the analytics, and improve it. To plan what happens after each result, see how quiz marketing works from start to finish.

If you are not sure where a quiz fits your business, browse the use cases for bloggers, coaches, stores, educators and membership sites, then try the live templates to see how a quiz can look.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good personality quiz idea?

A good idea is a question people already ask about themselves, with three or four results that feel different from each other. It also points each result to something you can offer, such as a post, a product or a call.

How many results should a personality quiz have?

Three or four is enough for most ideas on this list. Each result needs its own description and next step, so more results means more work to write and follow up.

Can I use these ideas as they are?

Yes, but adjust the wording to your audience. The titles and result names here are starting points, and a version that uses your own topic and vocabulary will feel more personal.

Which personality quiz idea is best for getting email subscribers?

Pick one where the result is something people want to know about themselves, like a style, a type or a starting point. Then ask for the email right before the result appears.

Do I need a paid tool to build these quizzes?

No. Quizably is a free WordPress plugin with personality quizzes, lead capture and no cap on quizzes, questions or leads. You can build any idea on this list with it.
