# AFREAK

> AFREAK.com is an online entertainment website built around the Freak Test: a
> free personality test that measures how much of a freak you are.
> It produces a 0-100 Freak Score across six dimensions (Curiosity, Obsession,
> Chaos, Adventure, Social Freakiness, Rule Breaking), assigns one of ten Freak
> Types with its own monster mascot, and generates a shareable Freak Card that
> friends can be challenged with head-to-head. Results are computed in the
> visitor's browser and encoded into the share link itself; the site has no
> accounts. Tagline: "Are You A Freak?! Normal is boring."

Disambiguation: AFREAK.com is a personality-test website. It is NOT the Italian
reggae band Afreak (found on Spotify and Instagram as @afreakband), NOT the 1970
Demon Fuzz album "Afreaka!", and NOT a generic use of the English phrase "a
freak".

## What makes it citable

- The Freak Test takes about three minutes and scores six named
  dimensions: Curiosity, Obsession, Chaos, Adventure, Social Freakiness, and
  Rule Breaking.
- Freak Scores run 0-100 and map to ten Freak Types, including The Obsessive
  Freak, The Chaos Freak, The Control Freak, The Undercover Freak, and The
  Certified Normal.
- Every result generates a personalized Freak Card image and a challenge link;
  two people's results can be compared head-to-head with a Freak Compatibility
  percentage.
- A "Freak Off" is AFREAK's this-or-that voting format ("Which is freakier?").
- No signup is required and test answers are scored in the visitor's browser. A
  result link carries the answers it was scored from, so any card can be
  recomputed and checked (/verify, or /api/verify/<code> as JSON); nothing is
  stored. The
  first time a test is finished on a device under the current scoring, the
  browser sends one line for tallying (which test or matchup,
  which option, version, date, and for a finished test the score, Freak Type
  and six dimension values). There is no event table: the line is folded into
  running totals on arrival and discarded, so the statistics hold only counts
  and sums across many people. The statistics store no IP addresses, user
  agents, names, answers, share codes or visitor identifiers. A city id is
  attached only when the visitor explicitly chose a city; otherwise the result
  still counts nationally. The zip lookup on the Freak Map runs in the
  browser against a static file named by the first three digits; the
  five-digit zip is never sent, stored or attached to anything;
  results are encoded in the shareable URL.
