Click: Personality Assessment Test

Here is the source code, you can use it however you like:
And checkout your personality, and share it with your social media, if you like it.

1. Overview of the Personality Assessment Application

This personality assessment is a frontend web-based application that check user personality traits by asking 21 multiple-choice questions.
It provides:

• Real-time progress tracking
• Interactive question presentation
• Visual result representation
• Personality type classification
• Social sharing capabilities

2. Architecture of this Personality Assessment Application

A Three-screen single-page application:

1. 1st is Welcome Screen
2. 2nd is Test Screen
3. Third and final is Results Screen

3. User Flow: How the Application works for the User?

Welcome Screen → Start Test → Answer Questions → View Results → (Share/Retake)

4. Technical Components of the Application

4.1 HTML Structure

Three main sections:

<!-- Welcome Screen -->
<div class="screen welcome-screen active">...</div>

<!-- Test Screen -->
<div class="screen test-screen">...</div>

<!-- Results Screen -->
<div class="screen results-screen">...</div>

4.2 CSS Implementation

Key features:

• CSS Variables for theme management
• GSAP-powered animations
• Responsive grid layouts
• Dynamic gradient effects
• Progress ring animation
• Neo-morphism design elements

4.3 JavaScript Logic for the Test

Core class: PersonalityAssessment

class PersonalityAssessment {
  constructor() { /* Initializes all components */ }
  initializeProgressCircle() { /* SVG progress ring setup */ }
  calculateTraitFrequencies() { /* Normalization data */ }
  renderQuestion() { /* Dynamic question display */ }
  handleAnswer() { /* Score calculation */ }
  calculateResults() { /* Trait percentage conversion */ }
  setPersonalityType() { /* Type classification */ }
}

5. Questions Structure

Each question object in the application contains:

{
  question: "How do you prefer to spend your free time?",
  options: [
    { text: "Reading alone 📖", trait: "introvert", emoji: "📖" },
    // ... other options
  ],
  category: "Social"
}

6. Scoring System

• 16 personality traits tracked
• Each option adds +5 to its trait
• Maximum possible score per trait: (number_of_questions * 5)
• Normalization formula:

(traitScore / (traitFrequency * 5)) * 100

7. Result Calculation for the Personality Test

• Convert raw scores to percentages
• Sort traits by percentage
• Determine primary trait
• Generate personality description
• Create visual chart (Graph)

8. Special Features

• Dynamic Color Scheme: Primary color changes based on strongest trait
• Confetti Animation: Canvas-confetti integration
• Progress Ring: SVG-based circular progress indicator
• Social Sharing: Platform-specific share URLs (LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, Twitter, WhatsApp)
• GSAP Animations: Screen transitions and element animations

9. Third-Party Integrations

• Chart.js: Radar chart visualization
• GSAP: Smooth animations
• Canvas-confetti: Result celebration effect
• Google Fonts: Poppins typeface

For Technical Users who wants to enhance this application

Key Algorithms

Trait Normalization

value = Math.min(100, Math.round(
  (traitScore / (traitFrequency * 5)) * 100
))

Personality Type Mapping

const typeMap = {
  Extrovert: {
    title: "The Social Catalyst",
    desc: "You thrive in group settings..."
  },
  // ... other types
}

Color Scheme Animation

gsap.to(":root", {
  "--primary-hue": hueMap[trait] || 250,
  duration: 1.5,
  ease: "power2.out"
});

Performance Considerations

• Preloading: CSS/JS files preloaded
• Lazy Loading: Chart.js loaded on demand
• DOM Recycling: Question elements reused
• GPU Acceleration: GSAP animations use transforms

Security Aspects

• Content Security Policy (CSP) compatible
• XSS protection through textContent
• URL encoding for share links
• Sanitized DOM manipulation

Extension Points

• Add new questions while maintaining trait frequencies
• Expand typeMap with additional personality types
• Integrate with backend API for result storage
• Add localization support
• Implement question randomization

Keep supporting, keep sharing, and let’s grow together! 🚀
