Traitsly

Personality assessments that score themselves

Build custom assessments, beautifully visual charts, and score responses server-side against traits you define, giving clients a visual representation of their results.

What you get

One job, done properly: turn what people answer into numbers you can defend, and a picture they can read.

Traits you define

A trait is yours to name, describe and weight. Score the things your practice actually measures instead of bending someone else’s model to fit.

Scoring on the server

Responses are scored where they land, not in the browser. The same assessment produces the same numbers whoever takes it and on whatever device.

Charts per assessment

Six chart types, the traits you choose to plot, and styling you set once per assessment. Every result comes back looking the way you designed it.

Share the link

Send an assessment to one person or to a whole group, and track what is still outstanding without chasing anyone by email.

Bring the assessment you already have

Download the template and fill it in wherever you already work - Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, PDF. One row per question, likert, text or multiple choice. Name your traits in plain English and we match the ones you have or create the rest. Up to 500 questions a file.

Embed it in your own site

Copy one line of HTML and the assessment renders inside a page you already own. Nobody signs in, nobody leaves your site, and the results land back here.

Chart configuration

The chart is the deliverable.

Nobody remembers the score sheet. They remember the picture you put in front of them. The chart is something you configure, name and save per assessment, and it renders the same way for every take from then on.

Six chart types

Pick the one that tells the truth about your data. A three-trait profile wants a radar, a twelve-trait audit wants bars - and switch whenever you change your mind.

Bar

Compare magnitudes side by side. The one everybody reads without a key.

Line

Sequences and trends, with a smoothing dial from angular to flowing.

Radar

The profile shape across three or more traits. The debrief chart.

Doughnut

Share of total, with room in the middle for the headline.

Pie

Share of total, no ceremony.

Polar

Equal angles, radius scales. Strength at a glance.

Plot only the traits that matter

A chart is tied to an assessment and to the traits you tick. Scored fourteen traits but the conversation is about four of them? Save a four-trait radar for the debrief and keep the full bar chart for the written report. Same responses, same scoring, two charts - because the audience is different, not the data.

Save as many configurations per assessment as you need. They are named, so a year later you still know which one was the client-facing version.

Styled to look like yours

Every chart is built in a three-step wizard with a live preview beside it, so you are never guessing what the assessment taker will see.

Color
Eight presets or any RGB hex you paste in.
Legend
On or off, top, right, bottom or left.
Data labels
Off, raw values, or percentages printed on the chart itself.
Gridlines
Keep them for precision, drop them for a cleaner slide.
Background
Transparent, white or a subtle tint, so it sits on your page or in a report.
Fine tuning
Bar thickness and line smoothing on the types that use them.

How it works

Define your traits

Name what you measure and how much each question moves it.

Write the assessment

Type questions in, or import the spreadsheet you already use. Attach them to traits and publish.

Send it out

Send the link to anyone, list it on the marketplace, or embed it in your own site.

Read the chart

Scores land server-side and render as the chart you configured.

Measure something real.

Create a workspace, write your first assessment, and send it to one person before you decide anything. Questions? See pricing.
