The open color study

We plan to publish what our quiz results look like in aggregate: how common each color is, how often people sit near the middle of an axis and how gut answers compare with considered ones.

Status: planned. We have not collected any study data yet, so there are no numbers on this page. We'll publish the first report only once we have enough opt-in responses to be meaningful.

What we'll look at

• Distribution of the eight colors and 32 shades
• How many people land within 10 points of the middle on each axis (close calls)
• Under Pressure versus full-quiz agreement
• Friend mirror versus self-view agreement, building on the self–other knowledge asymmetry research

How we'll protect privacy

• Opt-in only, with a clear checkbox after your result. Default is off.
• We'd store only axis scores, color, shade and a coarse country from the request, never names, emails or IP addresses.
• Nothing from the kids section is ever collected.
• Aggregates only; groups smaller than 50 are never reported.

What it won't be

This won't validate the model as a psychological test. It's a descriptive look at how people answer a fun quiz. We'll publish our method and limitations with the data.
