A dive into the thinking behind Openly’s personality quizzes.

Openly is a service that helps couples show they care. The idea was developed by Sophie Kwok and I as a 9 month project at AC4D. Read the full story.

The first thing users do when they start Openly is take a quiz based on the Five Love Languages. We used an existing framework for this section because a lot of couples already understand Love Languages, or how they best feel loved. The five Languages are: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Physical Touch, Receiving Gifts, and Acts of Service. The idea is that way you feel loved may not match your partner, and you may sometimes have to translate your actions to your partner's "language" to understand that you both care.
