We asked nine questions to get to know you and your relationship with healthcare about:

  1. how you perceive healthcare

  2. how you are as a patient, and

  3. (3) how you feel about your own health.

For each question, quiz takers had to make a selection (“Yes,” “No,” or “Sometimes”) if a quote about healthcare perceptions, actions they would take as a patient, or feelings about their own health aligned with them.

1) “As soon as I do not feel well, I talk to a doctor.”


2) “I feel taken care of when I engage with the healthcare system.”


3) “It is hard for me to find a doctor that I like.”


4) “If I am diagnosed with something, my first thought is to do more research on that condition.”


5) “I tend to ask a lot of questions during a doctors appointment.”


6) “I know the baseline things about what is normal about my own health.”


7) “I have goals for my health and try my best to meet them.”


8) “I am worried there is something I am missing that would make me healthier.”


9) “I do not worry on the days where I am less active because I know I am healthy.”

After taking the quiz, each quiz taker is given a patient personality type. There are eight types and all have their own unique power as patients. The results page shows the patient type, their three personality traits, a brief description of the patient type and their unique power, and free downloadable content to share (or for keeps!).

(If your patient personality type doesn’t sound like you – no worries! You can always retake the quiz.)

Each of the patient personality types is determined based on three traits from three categories with two different traits:

  1. Perceptions of Healthcare: how you feel about healthcare.

    • Trusting: you are trusting when it comes to healthcare because you believe doctors are here for you.

    • Skeptical: you know you need to advocate for yourself in order to get the best care.

  2. Patient Engagement: how you are as a patient.

    • Proactive: you take the time to understand your body and how to support it.

    • Reactive: you respond to what the doctor is telling you and do your best to implement their suggestions.

  3. Personal Health: how you feel about your health.

    • Anxious: You are an optimizer – you’re thoughtful about what else you could be doing for your health.

    • Content: You are confident that you’re doing what works for you.
