Lab 6

I’d like to create a social media app that allows strangers to congregate based on shared psychological traits. These will be determined by fun personality quizzes based in the science.

Personality quizzes are popular on the internet, but they’re rarely accurate, and they’re based on the subjective opinion of the quiz’s creator. The creator could be anybody and have a variety of motivations to make a quiz. The quizzes provided on this app would be created by those familiar with psychology and creative minds, enforced by research.

Once a user completes a quiz, a private forum and live chat will be open to them including the other users who got the same result. This way, there’s a greater chance of making friends while virtually mingling, as opposed to following popular influencers on other social media platforms, or running into trolls. This is something that we’re really missing out on when going out now. We need to stay distanced from other parties, so we don’t get a chance to meet new people. On this app, multiple categories will be open to users based on quizzes, so there will be multiple opportunities to find users with similar interests and ways of thinking and feeling.

Problem scenarios:

  1. I will solve the lack of opportunities to meet new people by providing a social media space to help minglers interact with new people.
  2. As an avid online quiz-taker, I want to take worthwhile quizzes so that I can receive relevant insights from credible sources.
  3. I will solve the abundance of stupid online quizzes by providing fun, knowledge-based quizzes to help avid online quiz-takers have a satisfying experience.
  4. I will solve the popularity issue which arises on other social media platforms by eliminating “likes,” to help those who slip under the radar be seen on an equal playing field.
  5. As a minor, I want to use chatrooms that are safe and free of trolls, so that I can chat within my age group, and avoid online predators and otherwise toxic environments.
  6. I will solve the presence of online predators infiltrating kids-only chats by providing telling questions within quizzes as well as providing moderators in forums and chats to help minors be safe.
