Each result page on this site shows a radar chart of how your answers leaned. The highest axis becomes your type, but the overall shape also hints at what to learn next. This guide explains how to read the chart and what to do about weak axes. If you have not taken a quiz yet, start with the Remote Side Gig Type Quiz or the Tech Skill Match Quiz so you can read this with your own type in mind.
What the axes mean
The Remote Side Gig Type Quiz radar has six axes—Write, Visual, Build, Help, Guide, and Sort—one per type. The Tech Skill Match Quiz has eight: Screen, Server, Data, Ops, Test, Flow, Safety, and Prompt. Each axis length reflects how much of your answers pointed to that type.
The “share for this type” on the result card is the top axis divided by the total of all axes. It describes the lean within your own answers, not how rare you are among other people.
Three common shapes
The shape changes how you might use your next four weeks.
- One clear peak: your direction is clear. Following that type’s four-week plan as is will be the quickest route.
- Two peaks: a sample that combines both makes your work distinctive.
- Fairly flat: you lean a little toward many things. Try one for four weeks and let the experience decide the next.
Should you fix a weak axis?
You do not have to raise every low axis. But work in your strong area often needs a little of a neighboring axis. When that happens, cover just one weak area with a short intro course.
- High Screen, low Flow: The Interface Crafter takes a short UI design course to pick up ideas from The Product Designer
- High Data, low Ops: The Analyst tries an intro to cloud analytics services
- High Server, low Safety: The Architect learns access management and two-step sign-in basics
- High Write, low Visual: The Storyteller learns a design tool well enough to make header images
- High Help, low Sort: The Helper organizes common questions in a spreadsheet
- High Prompt, low Test: The Prompt Pilot builds a checklist for verifying output
Using your second-highest axis
Your second-highest axis is the most natural candidate for your next four weeks. Read it together with the “compatible type” on your result page to see where the two might combine. Open that type’s page and pick one item from “Kinds of courses and certifications to look into” in its learning path.
Retaking the quiz later
After four weeks of learning, retaking a quiz may show a different shape. That change reflects preferences you discovered by actually doing the work. Saving a screenshot or the share card from your earlier result makes comparison easy.
If you also took the other quiz, compare the two shapes as well.
FAQ
My share looks low. Does that mean it does not suit me?
No. It is the lean within your own answers. When your answers spread over several axes, the top share comes out lower.
Does the radar measure ability?
No. It shows preferences and habits of thought, as a guide for choosing what to learn.
Can I compare the radars from both quizzes?
Not directly—the axes differ—but you can combine them. Another guide covers how.
How should I use the type pages?
Open the pages for your top two axes and compare their learning paths and four-week plans. Starting with what they share wastes the least time.
