PersonaBubble aims to provide a fun and trouble-free way for our users to explore their personalities and to start understanding people better. We are proud to take an approach based on proven science to ensure we provide you with accurate results and advice that you can be confident in. In order to ensure our test is completely objective and provides fair and accurate results each time it’s given, we make sure the test meets these three key criteria:

Standardization – The test must be based on results from a sample population that’s truly representative of the people who’ll be taking the test. Although we can’t realistically test every person in a country, we can test a representative sample of that group, and then apply the results to the specific people whom we test. Also, we ensure that the test is administered the same way every time to help reduce any test bias. By using a standardized test, we can compare the results with anyone whose characteristics are similar to those of the sample group.

Reliability – The test must produce consistent results, and not be significantly influenced by outside factors.  For instance, if you’re feeling stressed when you take the test, the test results shouldn’t be overly different from times when you were excited or relaxed.

Validity – This is perhaps the most important quality of any test. A valid test has to measure what it’s intended to measure. If a test is supposed to measure a person’s interests, then it must clearly demonstrate that it does actually
