About this quiz
Almost everyone has a side that strangers never see. It may be a softness hidden behind a tough exterior, a worry behind a confident smile, a wild sense of humour behind a proper manner or a huge dream behind a practical life.
This quiz looks at the contrast between how you come across and who you are with the people who really know you. The fifteen questions describe small, everyday moments: how you behave at home, late at night, among old friends or when nobody is judging.
Your result names the main hidden truth about you, and explains why it stays hidden, what it costs and how to let a little more of it out. Think of it as a character reference written by the people who love you.
What this quiz measures
Most of us have a version of ourselves that only a few people ever see. This quiz looks at that hidden side and shows which one you keep for your closest circle: the secret softie, the secret worrier, the secret rebel or the secret dreamer.
How to read your result
Your result describes what is usually going on beneath your public behaviour: the tenderness behind a tough exterior, the anxiety behind a calm one, the rule-breaking streak behind a polite one or the big plans behind a practical one.
The 4 possible results
- The Secret Softie: Tough outside, tender inside. Strangers see someone strong, direct or even a little intimidating. Your closest people know that you cry at adverts, keep every card you were ever given and worry about everyone.
- The Secret Worrier: Calm outside, running numbers inside. Strangers see someone capable and confident. Your closest people know that your mind is busy with what-ifs, and that the calm you project took a lot of preparation.
- The Secret Rebel: Proper outside, wild inside. Strangers see someone sensible, polite and well-behaved. Your closest people know your hilarious opinions, your odd secret hobbies and the plan you have of one day doing something completely unexpected.
- The Secret Dreamer: Practical outside, huge dreams inside. Strangers see someone realistic and reliable. Your closest people know that you have a notebook of ideas, a far-fetched dream and a whole inner world you rarely mention.
Tips for using your result
Share the result with someone close and see whether they agree. It often starts better conversations than a direct question about how you are really doing.
