How was this scored?

Every answer quietly nudges you along one of four personality scales, based on the Myers-Briggs dimensions. Where you land on all four decides your bird.

The four scales

Question by question

Each question tests one scale, with two answers on each side. The bolder answer on each side (the ones you marked with a +) is worth 2 points, and the milder one is worth 1, so feeling strongly counts for more.

Breaking ties

Each scale gets two questions. If your two answers cancel out (say, a bold “social” answer in the morning and a bold “solo” answer in the afternoon), the later answer in the day wins. You are who you are by nightfall.
