After the viral Innate Personality Traits quiz and another one that helps determine which potong ice cream flavour you are, we're back with another personality test for all you curious folks. This one’s right on theme with the Chinese New Year season. Created by local digital agency Singapore Best Web Design, this fun new 'What CNY item are you?' quiz is currently making its rounds in Singapore and might just become the hot topic of all your group chats amidst the flurry of festive well-wishes.

Like its predecessors, this lighthearted questionnaire comes with cute, colourful graphics and a story-based sequence, making it a fun way to pass time when you're bored in the midst of all that CNY visiting. Besides, getting your whole fam to join in and compare results will probably distract nosy relatives from their usual rounds of prying. You know, the whole "when are you getting married?" shtick and what have you.

Time to rise up as the main character; You'll be taking on the role of a snake who's attending a dinner party with your fellow zodiac animal friends. There are 12 simple questions in total, each surrounding a different scenario within the banquet.

How will you break up a quarrel between your pals? How do you socialise with others in a group setting, or navigate through sudden problems that might thwart your plans? All your ‘in-game’ actions will determine your final personality profile, whether it’s mahjong, huat kueh, or lucky bamboo.

Each result sheet comes with five personality traits; your Chinese New Year alignment scores for elements like abundance, drama, and gratitude; a ‘peer review’ from others, which is essentially what your friends might say about you; and who your besties (and not-so-favourite people) are.

But enough of the spoilers. Try it out for yourself, and see if your results are accurate! Even if they’re not, it’s all in good fun, and a great conversation starter for the festive season. Take the ‘What Chinese New Year item are you?’ quiz here.
