An Android app that tests your personality traits using the 50-item IPIP version of the Big Five Markers
The assignment for Project 3 of the Google Android Basics Nanodegree by Udacity was to create a quiz app. I wanted to make it interesting again, so I decided to make a personality quiz using real world methodology. After a bit of searching I decided to implement a personality test for the Big Five Markers. A cursory search led me to the IPIP and their open source IPIP questions and scales, and I ended up recreating the title, instructions and questions from this page in order to keep the scoring accurate.
In order to show the results of the test I used a GraphView so thanks to @appsthatmatter for that functionality.
UPDATE 09/2019: Completely rewrote app in Kotlin and replaced the fixed layout with one that is programatically generated. There was also an issue with scoring that is now fixed. Added extra test variants (from @alheimsins) and improved the automatically generated results text. Still some improvements to be made so keep an eye on the commits.
UPDATE 01/2020: Rewrote parts of the app to implement MVVM and Room database access. Also changed charting library to MPAndroid.
Please try out the app and report any bugs.
Features I'd like to implement: Please see the Issues section
Known issues:
- app is using hardcoded strings – won't fix, as translating the app would probably skew the results due to using translations that have not been tested by a psychologist
app looks weird on small DPIs (<xxhdpi) or large text sizes (>small)
