I think most side projects don't die from a bad idea. They die from silence.

They fail because the founder is the only person who knows it exists.

We hear a lot about building a good product, but much less about the hardest part: getting people to actually discover it.

3 months ago, we started PersonalTraits, a personality test that helps people better understand themselves and discover what motivates them in life.

Feedback has been positive. Users told us the results helped them understand parts of themselves they'd never noticed before.

But when you don't already have a big audience, visibility is still the real challenge.

For those of you who've gotten traffic from zero, what actually worked?

I created a new personality test and I'm looking for honest feedback

Hi everyone!

I created PersonalTraits, a new personality test based on an original motivational model I've been developing.

I'm looking for feedback from people familiar with the Enneagram, Jungian typology, or other personality models : https://www.personaltraits.co/en

The test is free, takes about 10 minutes (40 questions), and works differently from most personality tests. Instead of rating statements, you choose between two motivations or reactions. The goal is to see which needs matter most when you have to choose.

The model is based on 8 core motivations:

  • Energy, Security, Belonging, Status, Freedom, Identity, Coherence, Mortality

At the end, you get your dominant motivations and the archetype they form.

I'm especially interested in questions like:

  • Does the result feel accurate?
  • What was the most and least accurate part?
  • Were any questions confusing?
  • Do you think I'm missing an important motivation?

The test and the full report are completely free.

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try and shares their thoughts!
