Feedback: If I knew my email was needed for the results, I wouldn’t have spent my time. I know these patterns are the norm, but I dislike it very strongly, it’s much better to be up front and ask my email before I wasted my time.
@geeyam I actually liked having to input my email address since the test results can now be easily accessed in the future and shared with my friends and family if I want to. I don't like being spammed and I don't like my email being collected unnecessarily, but as long as it is used responsibly by @jc_prattdelzenne I don't mind :)
@geeyam@jc_prattdelzenne
You didn't expect to get the results for free ... did you?
Emails are assets.
For the purpose of just testing, just enter fake email as the Maker suggested

Feedback:
- Avoid red buttons on the left choices
- Nice UI
- 10 minutes to take the test is ridiculously long
( Lower this amount to collect more emails)
If I owned this:
I know this personality test is all "mambo jambo" fairy tale, but i want to collect as many emails as I can.
I would make the test shorter, Verify the email address to get the report, even ask for phone number to send the report to your phone...
On the backend, I would either sell my own products to other people's products by sending 4-5 follow up emails that actually help people improve the "negative" parts about their personality.
Good luck!
@satishgaire “Free” is literally the 3rd word on the page "Scientifically validated free..." I know emails are not exactly free, and my feedback is; it's better to be upfront. It is the difference between leaving the page with "Oh great idea and looks nice, but I don't want to give my email now" vs leaving the page after 15 mins "Grrr, it's one of these dark patterns". Otherwise, I don't have any problem people asking for email, phone number, or money — as long as it's upfront.
Mine is just a feedback, it’s up to the maker what to do with it. No bad intentions. It’s a common strategy, so it must be working for people.
👋Hey Product Hunters,
We are often quick to self judge ourselves for our personal failures. It only creates guilt, shame, or self-delusional thoughts.
We burn ourselves, trying to fit in a mold totally different from our true self.
Assessing our personality is essential to understand where we are today, then take action to design a path for growth tailored to us.
Knowing our traits helps to double down on our personality's strength and minimize the risks associated with our negative tendencies, without self-judgment.
I built Persona to help people get access to the work of personality science researchers like Lewis R. Goldberg, Colin DeYoung, Brian R. Little, and more, in a very accessible and fun way.
Feel free to give some feedback and suggestions ✍️
@jc_prattdelzenne Hi JC, congrats with your launch. Can you tell some more what you'll be doing with the data you're collecting (including personal data)? I can't find any explanation why you need my mail address for instance.
@evertsemeijn Thank you very much. The only use I have for email addresses is to send the result so users can keep it, it's more convenient, I have no other use for it. I don't have any promotion purpose with it.
@jc_prattdelzenne I understand. You might want to make that clear on the site. It keeps me from handing you over mine.
And for how long are you storing the result pages?
@evertsemeijn You are right, I should have made that more explicit.
For now, I didn't think of an expiration date, but it can be done. Like a link to delete the content in the email I send to the user.
@jc_prattdelzenne@evertsemeijn Glad you asked about what data's being collected – seeing Cambridge Analytica mentioned as a 'usage example' set off a few alarm bells for me 😅
