What egg are you?

Overview

“What egg are you?” is a storyline quiz that is inspired by the original MBTI quiz. This idea of personality quiz has become a viral sensation within Gen Z.

User Research

This was created during the summer of 2024 when everyone was curious as to what their MBTI was. However, with the 16 different choices and the long descriptions for them all, many individuals felt unsure about what choices to make. Furthermore, many were skeptical that a combination of 4 letters could really depict you as a person. With that in mind, my friends and I decided it’d be a fun idea to create a lighthearted test that was quick and easy, but also gave you a result and a description similar to the original MBTI quiz.

Research Findings

Any person at any age can take the MBTI quiz. Furthermore, your result will never truly be set in stone. But, it’s generally encouraged to take this test between the ages 13-18, but ideally after 18. During this time, my team and I noticed there was an influx of new persona quizzes showing up left and right. Ranging from “What cake are you?” to something like “What planet are you you?” they all had the same idea, yet our generation loved it because they were able to compare with their friends and enjoy taking a short, yet visually appealing quiz.

Topics Addressed

• Is the result accurate to you?
• What is the first thing that caught your eye?
• Did you enjoy the story?

Insights

We noticed that some of the questions made people want to choose logic over feeling, even if their MBTI was usually F. Because this is a short quiz, it definitely isn’t as accurate as the MBTI quiz so even if they answered one question differently than their normal MBTI, that could skew their results. Some users were not satisfied with their egg choice, or they did not understand why they got that type of egg. We wanted to use egg dishes that we were familiar with, such as the century egg as my team is Asian and grew up eating century eggs. However, we realized that not everyone knows what a century egg is, or they may dislike it as it’s a delicacy. But, we still believe that the century egg does fit that MBTI personality the most.

Ideation

We began by looking at the sizing and layout of our project. We wanted our site to be easy to take regardless of device, and for our results to fit for both phone and laptop as well. The font was decided based on visibility, and we wanted to ensure it was an inoffensive story fitting the teenager range, so we based it off of the typical chicken crossing the road. Once the story line was complete, I created all of the different results. We had an image to showcase the result, and a different color scheme that matched every egg. Because people tend to focus on the negative parts of themselves, we made their good parts the biggest part of the result, calling it their “nutrients”.

Conclusion

This was my first personal project, so I hold it dear to my heart. It was my first time designing something from start to finish, and being involved in every single step. From drawing the pixel art eggs to studying different MBTI types, even creating the results and figuring out the color schemes that matched every egg, even though you can only do so much with a white and yellow item, was truly rewarding, and I think this project is what piqued my interest in UI Design.
