Measured in the browser. Nothing was sent to a server.

09What this is based on

The page measured behaviour: hesitation, steadiness, timing, retries, how you looked at options, scrolling and leaving the page. Your pattern comes from two axes, pace and curiosity.

Some links between this kind of behaviour and personality are supported by published research, listed below. Others are our own reading and are not validated. No study has tested a short browser task like this one.
