Personality test site - 41q.com - design reviews are welcome

[Bartender]

I launched this online personality test a couple of weeks ago, developed as a hobby project during the spring (after a couple of classes in psychology).

All feedback is welcome; design, functionality and content.

:hehe: Now THAT's a sweet test! You're actually pretty spot on with a few statements, with some of the career choices i disagree, though.

The site is pretty neat and straight forward, i'd still center it, though.

Other than that, a few more testing choices would be nice. Dive into more areas than just personality, add different topics to it.

Great Site that can easily improve, the domain isn't bad either. Just don't ever start with IQ tests, or 41 is certainly not going to work in your favor

****************
Submit it to my directory- www.lr4.com - would be great to have your site!

Awesome site, really like it! I would suggest at the end, give people html code to their results to put it on their myspace, facebook, etc. with a link back to your site.

Great site!

I would suggest sticking some Digg/Reddit/StumbleUpon/etc buttons on the bottom of the left column for promotion though.

very nice:
- clean, simple design, yet not plain
- tasteful use of advertisements
- easy to use
- fast (i tend to quit a quiz if it's slow)
- results were very accurate for me!

not sure:
- maybe I'm just a basket case, but I found myself answering some questions with answers that appeared to contradict previous answers

possible improvements:
- I found that after completing the test, then clicking about, then clicking on the logo, my results were gone. Maybe it would be good to keep the results, or have a "Your last result" link so that the result could be more easily referred to?

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions!

Good idea. However, I am trying to convince the users to use the "e-mail me a link to my results"-function instead (which makes it easy for them to spread the link to others through e-mail).

I would suggest at the end, give people html code to their results to put it on their myspace, facebook, etc. with a link back to your site.

That's also a thing that has crossed my mind. But I can't really figure out what to show in the included picture. Just showing pure HTML isn't a hit, I believe. Any suggestion?

Digg and delicious are already there, but in the center column and as text.

Other than that, a few more testing choices would be nice. Dive into more areas than just personality, add different topics to it.

I totally agree. The only problem is to construct these tests, as I want to keep the accuracy that I think this test-method has. Instead, I'm focusing on translations into other languages, next in line is Swedish.

You're welcome!

Good idea.

Thanks!

ah, but if the user does click away, they can't get back to the email form?
opportunity lost

if you make the link on the site back to "my results" work using a cookie, then the user can get back to the form, even if they close their browser and come back again. (but they will still have to use your form to send the querystring link)
opportunity not lost
