Pop Quiz: Why are we so obsessed with online personality quizzes?

Every day millions of us take seemingly pointless quizzes to find out answers to important questions like... 

Our question: Why do we love this stuff so much?

Even if you haven’t heard of Buzzfeed, you probably still would have taken their most popular quiz “Which state do you actually belong in?” where more people got Wyoming than actually live there! This site, whose content is dominated by lists and quizzes, upped its monthly unique views from 100 million to 200 million in 2014, and quizzes dominate these views. (Buzzfeed 2014)

While most of us would say they are just fun ways to pass the time, deep down it is a little more specific. According to Psych Your Mind, a blog produced mostly by doctoral and Ph.D candidates, it boils down to three main things: The quizzes help us achieve an identity, people like getting feedback that confirms their view of themselves, and they help us justify our behavior. 

The Huffington Post produced an article written by Laura Schocker about this topic recently, interviewing Steven Meyers, Ph.D, Professor of Psychology at Roosevelt University in Chicago who explained that “People, he explains, tend to triangulate three questions when making sense of their lives: Who am I? Who do others think I am? And who do I want to be? "These tests, especially when we share the results online, allow us to think about all of those questions in fun ways,"(Huffington Post article, by Laura Schocker) 

What if these quizzes were more than just fun for the consumer?

This is why we have chosen to productize Personality quizzes, polls and other popular social interactions for businesses to help engage their users and match marketing strategies to consumer behaviors. Plyfe has been used by all kinds of brands and content creators to produce quizzes with business objectives in mind, such as: engagement, delivering targeted offers, generating leads, driving social traffic, learning and understanding more about consumer preferences. 

These quizzes allow companies to make their marketing interactive, creating a conversation with the consumers rather than a monologue at them. They also allow companies to direct users to specific content based on their results, generally making it more appealing because they have, in a sense, directed themselves there by answering questions.

And the proof is in the numbers, on average these quizzes have shown:

With that said, why don't you give it a try here and find out...

Bridging the gap between Social Apps and Mobile Web

Situation

Consumers start their digital sessions on mobile applications where links or paid media drive users to web experiences inside the applications. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have created walled gardens bypassing popular browsers such as Safari and Chrome.

In 2015, US smartphone users will spend the majority of their time in apps vs mobile web. (eMarketer)

Plyfe Talks Brand Partnership and Evol8tion Database

Last summer, we successfully matched superstar gamification startup Plyfe with one of Unilever’s most important Hispanic marketing initiatives, Divina Latina. Divina Latina was looking for new, innovative ways to increase audience engagement and participation on Facebook and Twitter — and with Plyfe’s magic touch, brand engagement rates exceeded all benchmarks, with over 86% of game challenges completed. The platform also proved to drive product interest and education, video consumption, repeat participation, and inspired 8% of players to share with friends.

Now, Plyfe’s back to talk lessons learned from their brand partnership, where they are now, and where it all began… Evol8tion’s startup database! 

Advice for brand partnership:

"Be sure to strike a happy balance between your startup’s vision, and what a brand wants to accomplish. Passion for your concept will get you far — so find a brand who will believe in you as much as you believe in it. But remember, any partnership takes compromise and patience. So be driven, but stay flexible."

Where they are now:

"Besides partnering with Divina Latina, we’ve had customers that include Fortune 500 brands, ad networks, agencies, and social media managers. We were also named to Forbes’ list of America’s Top 100 companies in 2013, and have been featured on CNN, Mashable, and TechCrunch. Looking forward to what 2014 will bring!” 

On Evol8tion’s startup database:

"It’s really a great resource for startups who want to make it, both through brand partnerships, and in general. As a startup in the database, Plyfe got invited to exclusive events, got free press on [the Evol8tion blog] M+MV, and got considered for a BrandMatch (and we all know how that ended)! Plus, it’s free.”

Thank you, Plyfe, for the positive feedback! And, startups: you heard ‘em. Start your journey to brand partnership and submit to the database today!
