I just wanted to take the time to say thank you! I always enjoy a nerding out or over explanation. Looking forward to the next update. Hope all is well as the year ends. <3

This was immensely helpful! I've been sharing this with a bunch of friends and seeing their different results have been interesting. Also seeing a trend with the people I keep around and the results they have been receiving (A lot of Normal/Fairy type results). I could tell in this particular test that the Pokédex entry and the Abilities really tied together to portray this flavorful description of a Pokémon, and so I have greatly enjoyed imagining that in consort with the typing results. 

Stats are interesting here. I see that typing bonuses have been put on the wayside, but I think that was a very cool idea!! I suppose my answers is showing that I hold a bit of balance across the board, and that is what it's prioritizing. Part of me wants to feel that unique blend of hyper differentiation and nuance, but that's more of a me thing then a stats thing. I was wondering if there was a way to break the limit so to speak? The way I understood you was that I received Fast, because I hit certain markers, but not enough additional speed markers to outweigh the percentages in the other categories. However, what if my results were so high in categories that it went over the 450 allotment? To account for the weighted strength of my answers. Perhaps I like long stat bars too and am sad that I did not receive one. So this paragraph was more of a ramble of ideas let's go, than constructive. I suppose incorporating stat bonuses from strong Pokémon type results could aid this distinction for those that have a strong showing of a type since it's a way to achieve the bonus without messing with your algorithm. 

It seems all my answers are up for consideration for being added to the future, except Q33, so I'll respond to that (I did see the change in Q2 and was like that's perfect for me!). Q33 is really interesting. I think what's missing for me is that "sanitized" implies like a polite, mask that you put on for strangers. I think where it differs for me, is that I think I'm a warm/nice person in general and if you interact with me that's your first impression of me. However, I do not necessarily share myself or develop relationships with neighbors. So I could see them saying that oh this person is nice, but I can't tell you anything else about them. Basically warm introvert energy, versus the outgoing response that shows connectivity and bonds, where one of your neighbors really knows you or the "sanitized" version that implies you are withholding aspects of yourself to keep the peace. If one of my neighbors really knew me, I'd assume a friend had moved into the neighborhood and I'd differentiate them from other neighbors that I have a distant but warm and pleasant relationship with. Simultaneously if I felt close to a neighbor, I'd probably stop referring to them as a neighbor and calling them my friend. 

While I'm here I'd like to echo the support on marshawk's take on the big test question. I was going to originally suggest something similar, but decided against it. I thought maybe the 2nd answer was close enough, but historically that combination of faith in my own knowledge/light brushing up also meant that I thought I would do well/ace the test versus just a passing grade. Which I think speaks to confidence and faith in your mental capabilities. 

It seems like we might both like long, thorough replies. So I just will again thank you for your time and generosity for hearing me out. <3

Hello great quiz! I was curious how I was getting "Fast" despite having Speed be my lowest stat. I thought that was an interesting discrepancy. I also see that you take suggestions so I wanted to provide some for you, since some I didn't have an answer that felt great, though I understand you might not be able to take all of them. 

Question 2: You find a box marked “free on the side of the road, full of various pieces of wood, metal, and plastic. Which best describes your most likely reaction? Proposed Answer: I’d check to see if there is anything that is unique that might look cool and would put on display at my place. I love collecting weird things!

Question 16: You’ve just woken up, and it’s a work or school day. What are you most likely to do for yourself within the first hour of being awake? Proposed Answer: Hit snooze! Maybe hit snooze again! Just give me more sleep, I’m so comfy!

Question 28: You’re on a first date with someone you met on a dating app, with no friends in common. What’s your most likely approach to sharing things about yourself? Proposed Answer: I would see if we shared any similar interests and share why they were important to me or how they shape who I am!

Question 29: You feel it’s time for a change, and you’re reorganizing everything in your bedroom, including the furniture. What aspect of your life is this new layout most likely to support. Proposed Answer: A sense of aesthetic and a taste for something new! (clearing stagnant energy?)

Question 33: If your neighbors were asked about what you’re like, what sort of consensus would they most likely have? Proposed Answer: Some might say I seem like a nice person, but no one really knows me. 

I also was curious how the abilities were chosen/sorted through. Anyway great work and thank you for your time and energy <3
