AhaSlides Personality Test: presenter chart of each personality type's share of the room beside a participant phone showing You are The Explorer
Personality Test gives each participant ten quick statements on their phone and turns their answers into one of five personality types, based on the Big Five model. Your screen shows the mix of types in the room, and everyone gets a result card they can save and share. Nothing is scored and there is no leaderboard.

Personality Test at a glance

Create a Personality Test slide

1

Add the slide

In the editor, click New slide, type Personality in Search slide types and select Personality Test. The slide comes with ten statements ready to use, two for each trait.
2

Write your question

Type a title into Your question, for example “What’s your personality type?”
3

Edit the statements (optional)

Under Statements, change the wording of any statement, up to 140 characters each, or click Add statement for more. Each statement has a Trait and an Effect of agreeing: Higher on the trait or Lower on the trait. For a balanced result, keep at least one statement for each trait and mix in a few that score the other way.
4

Rename the answer choices (optional)

Under Answer scale, rename Disagree, Neutral and Agree, up to 24 characters each. Leave one blank to keep its default. Renaming a choice never changes the scoring.

Present a Personality Test slide

Click Present and share the access code. On their phones, participants answer each statement with Disagree, Neutral or Agree. Each tap moves on to the next statement, and Back returns to the previous one. After the last statement, they tap Reveal my profile. Each answer moves the participant’s score up or down a sliding scale for one of five traits: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Emotional Stability. Their strongest trait decides their type: The result screen shows the participant’s type, a short description and the percentage of the room that shares their type. They can answer Does this feel like you? and tap Save result image for a card made for sharing. Your screen shows a chart of each type’s share of the whole room, and it updates as each result arrives.

Frequently asked questions

Is Personality Test scored?

No. There are no right answers, no points and no leaderboard. Each participant gets a personality type, and your screen shows the mix of types in the room.

What is the Big Five model?

The Big Five is a widely used model of personality. It describes people on five traits: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Emotional Stability. Personality Test measures each one and names a type after the strongest.

What if a participant’s answers don’t point to one type?

If every trait comes out close to the middle, the participant sees Too close to call and can tap Change my answers or Keep this result. A kept result appears on your chart as Too close to call.

Can I change the statements after people have answered?

No. The statements are locked while the slide has responses. To edit them, reset the results, which clears every response collected so far.

Which languages does Personality Test work in?

Personality Test works in 39 languages. The participant screens, the chart and the result card follow your presentation’s language. Have a question?
