How it works
Updated · 2026-09-08
Just for fun. The questions draw on cat behavior research, but the quiz itself has not been scientifically validated and cannot diagnose anything.
How scoring works
There are 16 questions, four per dimension. Scores 1–2 lean toward the left description, 3 is in between, and 4–5 lean toward the right. “Not observed” is excluded from the average. We map each observed average onto a 4–20 scale; 12 is balanced. With fewer than two observed answers in a dimension, we leave it open. This minimum is a product rule, not a validated reliability threshold.
Your cat across four dimensions
Percentages show position between the two descriptions, not accuracy or probability. A score up to two points from the midpoint is shown as a slight tendency. Balanced or unobserved dimensions appear as a dot, so a portrait may stay open rather than receive one of the 16 type codes.
Research & limits
The Feline Five study (Litchfield et al., 2017) investigated five broad factors in feline personality. It does not validate PurrJung’s four dimensions, 16 types, or type pairings. These are separate frameworks. You can read the original paper below.
