Overview
Personality Matrix is a 28-question quiz that assigns you one of 19 narrative archetypes, styled as a classified document system. You answer questions, it scores your personality functions, and produces a dossier. Results are saved to a database and shareable by URL.
Highlights
- Scoring tracks eight personality functions (Plot Armor, Romantic Tension, Backstory Trauma, and others) across all 28 answers. Each answer shifts specific functions on a -2 to +2 scale, which normalize to 0-100 before feeding into eight matrix axes.
- Archetype matching runs in tiers: two rare types require 78+ or 82+ on their dominant functions. The other 17 match by dominant function average with a small matrix bonus. All scoring logic lives in src/lib/.
- Results are saved to PostgreSQL via Prisma and served at a unique URL, so users can share or return to their result.
- PostHog tracks quiz completions and archetype distribution across real users.
