1 Color Stroop Test

Although this is not a traditional quiz, it is a fun game disguised as a test. This test helps assess your cognitive abilities and your processing speed. Over time, it also helps your neurons function faster. There are two types of questions: in the first, you read out the word; in the second, you identify the colour and to make it even more challenging you can time yourself as you play. So, are you ready to see how fast your brain works? Try out the test online!

2 Neo-FFI Test

Set aside your usual weekend routine and embark on this adventure of self-discovery. Plus, you can easily download the test for free online and start exploring your unique traits today. Once you’ve taken this test, you can also correlate the OCEAN factors (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism) to your work or home life!

3 Rorschach inkblot Test

Did you ever look at clouds when you were a kid and imagine certain kinds of shapes in them? Like a dragon, a dog, or whatever funny thing your imagination came up with. And what if I told you that there’s a personality test that does the same thing ? But to keep it only on the fun side, all you need is a piece of white paper, 10 ink blots, and a simple fold in half. Voila! You have your image ready and your imagination kick-started! Open the paper and see what your mind forms out of it.

You can also take the standard Rorschach Test online. And mind you, this is just for creative and fun purposes, not for any kind of projection assessment.

4 PANAS Test

To wrap up this fun game session, why not turn the focus inward and check in on your own feelings? This test explores both the positive and negative emotions in your life, and how you’ve been reacting to them lately. It includes around 20 quick questions about different feelings you might have experienced recently, and asks you to rate to what extent you’ve felt them. Simple, right? So for once, make sure you’re checking in on yourself just as much as you do for others.

With this, I hope you all have a fun little gaming session — and maybe even take some time off from the video games. Because sometimes, psychological testing can feel like fun and games too ! Until the next blog post, take care of yourself, you lovely human beans.
