Free personality test
Find your two animals
Most personality tests give you one type. But people act differently in different settings, so Zootype gives you two animals: one for work, and one for the people closest to you.
It was first made to help couples get along and solve problems before they grow. It is just as useful for friends, families and teams.

How it works
Answer 76 quick questions
Short statements and everyday situations, about 17 minutes in all. There are no right answers, so just go with your first instinct!
Meet your two animals
One for how you are at work, and one for how you are with the people closest to you. Maybe you are a Tiger at work and a Panda at home!
Collect your badges
Four habit badges show your everyday style. And a lucky few discover a rare secret result!

Your animal depends on two things: how much you take the lead, and how warm or cool your style is. No animal is better than another.

Rare results
And a few secret ones
A few rare results are hidden in the test. Only a small number of people get one. We won't say what they are here: the only way to find out is to take the test.

A joint report for two
Invite a partner, a close friend, or a parent or child. When you have both finished the test, you can unlock a report about how you two get along, where you might clash, and what helps.
Built on real research
Zootype is based on published psychology research, and it is designed so that you can answer honestly.
There are no right answers
Every option is a normal, sensible thing to do, and both sides of every trait have their strengths. No answer looks better than another, so you can simply pick what is true for you.
Two animals, not one label
Research shows that questions about a specific setting describe how you act there better than general questions. So Zootype looks at work and at your close relationships separately.
Real situations, real choices
Many questions put you in an everyday situation and ask what you usually end up doing. Researchers use this kind of question to see how people really act.
A model with decades behind it
The animals come from two dimensions that psychologists have used for decades to describe how people relate to each other: taking the lead, and warmth. Researchers call it the interpersonal circumplex.
Made for two people too
Zootype also looks at how you handle disagreements and what feels fair to you, using well-known models from conflict and relationship research. The joint report uses this to help two people understand each other.
Common questions
How long does it take?
About 17 minutes for 76 questions. You can stop at any time and continue later on the same device.
Is it free?
Yes. The test and your results are free. The in-depth reports and the joint report are paid extras.
Is Zootype scientific?
Zootype is built on published psychology research: a well-studied model of how people relate to each other, questions based on real situations, and answer options written so that none looks better than the others. It is made for self-understanding and better conversations, not for medical or clinical use.
What happens to my answers?
Your answers and results are saved so that you can come back to them at any time. If you invite someone, we save both first names. A joint report is only made after both people agree, and either person can delete it. It is written by an AI model from both people's results, and your names are never sent to that model.
I'm a student. Can I take it?
Yes. For the questions about work, think about school projects or a similar setting.
