The UI for the survey's interesting. The bucket-filling technique in particular.

Still, I wish that personality representations could be more instantly comprehensible. Maybe they could create an avatar that would match your personality. Like if you were a loner, maybe you'd be smaller and more unassuming. And if you were more extroverted, your hair would be dyed and outlandish.

Maybe something to make in Second Life!
