Quiga 128 Personality Types

How Is It Measured?

We openly share the calculation method and its limits. Follow two fictional people — Jihyun and Minjun — through the story.

Before You Begin

🎯 First, Our Most Important Promise

Quiga 128 Personality Types is entertainment made for fun. It is not a medical or psychological diagnosis or assessment, and it does not replace professional support. Think of the result as a playful mirror reflecting “you today.”

STEP 1

📖 The Measurement Journey, Told as a Story

As Jihyun takes the course on her way home, each part of the measurement method appears in sequence.

🚇 What We Measure — Five Axes + Relationship Grain

“I definitely love staying home, but when my favorite subject comes up, I can talk all night. So am I E or I?”
— Jihyun, starting the Speed course on the train home

Jihyun's question is exactly where the measurement begins. Every question measures one of five axes: energy direction (E–I), information processing (N–S), decision grain (F–T), daily rhythm (P–J), or temperament (A/T, Nerve–Care). Balance and Deep Dive add two relationship-grain axes: relationship initiative (L–W) and relationship stability (S–V). This structure is fixed rather than expanded with arbitrary new axes.

Jihyun is not simply cut into “E or I,” either. Every axis is shown as a continuous 0–100% value, and the letters in the result are only shorthand for those percentages. If a letter changes on a retest, the underlying percentage may have moved only slightly.

🧮 Questions and Scoring — Measuring Without Steering

“Wait, this question points in the opposite direction from that earlier one. If I keep pushing one side, it'll be obvious.”
— Jihyun, pausing at question twelve

Exactly. It was designed that way.

  • Speed: 24 questions (4 groups) · Balance: 54 questions (9 groups, with relationship grain in the final group) · Deep Dive: 82 questions.
  • Each answer uses a 7-point scale (1 Not at all ~ 7 Very much, with 4 in the middle).
  • To avoid steering toward either side, at least 30% of the questions for each axis are reverse-keyed. Questions supporting both poles are balanced, and axes are interleaved so questions from the same axis do not cluster.

⚖️ 51 to 49 — When an Axis Is Close, We Say So

“E 51% and I 49%? Calling that ‘You are E’ would be a stretch, wouldn't it?”
— Jihyun, looking at her result

Right, so we do not pin it down. When an axis percentage is close to the 50% boundary — within ±1 percentage point for Balance and Deep Dive, or ±5 points for Speed — we display it as “both sides are running close.”

🔧 A Weekend Retake — Adaptive Refinement and Transparency Checks

“That axis was close last time. I wish it would ask me a little more about it this time.”
— Jihyun, returning for the 9-minute Deep Dive course over the weekend

That is exactly what the Deep Dive course does. If an axis is close, adaptive refinement adds groups of six questions, up to two groups.

We also use two transparency safeguards. Percentile claims such as “top N% among this type” are not shown until a sufficient in-house response sample exists. Personalized result copy uses only your measured percentages, with no percentile claims. Responses that repeat the same answer more than 80% of the time are marked as provisional.

STEP 2

🧭 The MBTI Tradition and How Quiga 128 Was Made

Here is where the notation came from and what we created ourselves.

📜 From Jung to Online Type Tests

The tradition of grouping personality into types began with psychologist Carl Jung's Psychological Types (1921). Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers later drew on that work to organize the MBTI system, representing sixteen types through combinations of four indicators: E–I, S–N, T–F, and J–P. Today, online tests borrowing that four-letter notation have become a form of playful popular culture.

Quiga 128 Personality Types is an independent entertainment test within that playful tradition. It is not the official MBTI® assessment and is not affiliated with its publishers. All questions, scoring rules, and type descriptions are original; only the familiar grammar of four-letter notation is borrowed.

🛠️ Quiga 128 Production Notes — How We Built It

  • Axis design — a fixed structure of five axes: the four-letter axes (E–I · N–S · F–T · P–J) plus temperament (A/T), with two relationship-grain axes layered on top (relationship initiative · relationship stability).
  • Question design — in the Deep Dive course, each letter axis has three facets × five questions, for 15 questions per axis. At least 30% per axis are reverse-keyed, and axes are interleaved to reduce patterned responses.
  • Original work — all 82 questions were written in-house. No questions were taken from external assessments.
  • Three nested courses — Speed's 24 questions are contained within Balance's 54, and Balance is contained within Deep Dive's 82 (24 ⊂ 54 ⊂ 82). Moving up a course adds precision to the same question base rather than switching to a different test.
  • Building the 64-code — 16 cores × temperament (A/T) × relationship-grain summary (L/F) = 128 combinations. It summarizes axes already measured rather than adding a new one.
  • Adaptive refinement — Deep Dive adds a six-question refinement group for close axes, up to two groups, to check them once more.
  • Content review — all 128 type descriptions are original and individually reviewed. Our review standard filters out vague statements that could seem to fit anyone.

STEP 3

🤝 Chemistry You Can Explore Together

We also openly share every rule used when results meet.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 How the Chemistry Score Is Calculated

“I tried it too. Shall we see our chemistry score? How is this score calculated, though?”
— Minjun, a colleague who received the result link

We can answer Minjun openly: it is a simple rule that starts at 50 points and only adds axis bonuses, with no deductions. Information processing (N–S) adds +14 when matched and +6 when different; energy direction (E–I) adds +11 when different and +5 when matched; daily rhythm (P–J) adds +10 when matched and +4 when different; decision grain (F–T) adds +7 when different and +4 when matched. If both people have a relationship-grain summary, whether measured or selected manually, different L–F results add +5 and matching ones add +2.

Temperament combinations (A/T) receive a small balancing bonus: two Team Mellow results (A·A) add +3, a mixed Team Mellow and Team Wave pair (A·T or T·A) adds +2, and two Team Wave results (T·T) add +1. Calmer combinations receive slightly more, but a Team Wave pair still adds +1, reflecting the playful idea that they can ride the waves together. This is an entertainment rule loosely inspired by the thought that similar emotional rhythms can be easier to recognize; it does not claim psychological compatibility.

The score is the same regardless of whose result comes first, and no combination loses points in this overall score. Situation scores below cover a wider range, but even there no result says a pairing cannot work. Lower squares explain what may help the two people find an easier rhythm, and all grade names are positive. We state plainly that this score is an entertainment calculation, not evidence of psychological compatibility.

🍻 Each Situation Gets Its Own Score

The same two people can feel different as friends and as colleagues. That is why we calculate separate scores for six situations — Friends, Dating, Family, Work, Money, and Crisis — and show them side by side.

These use a different calculation from the overall score above. Each situation weights the four axes differently. Daily rhythm (P–J) matters most at work, while information-processing language (N–S) matters most between friends. Even on one axis, two planning-leaning results are treated differently from two spontaneous-leaning results.

These scores spread out by contextual fit instead of only adding bonuses. The actual range is 38 to 99. Family and Work have a floor of 45 because those settings can be difficult to choose or easy for others to observe.

A lower square does not mean the two people cannot work together. It means finding a shared rhythm may take a little more effort, so every square explains what can make the situation easier. Reversing the order gives the same value, and scoring rules do not change by language or region. Do not use this for hiring or workplace decisions.

The overall score in links already shared will stay the same. Situation scores were added later, so reopening an older link does not change its original number.
