About this money
personality quiz

Based on research and testing, this quiz aims to open up new perspectives for you – about yourself, your money, your way forward.

Have you ever noticed how people have such different money lives? Our relationship with our finances is not about how we earn: it’s a unique combination of our make-up and experience, too. If you’re curious about you and the way you approach money, this will be time well spent.

Developed in conjunction with Dr Ayesha Scott and Professor Aaron Gilbert of Auckland University of Technology’s Finance Department, this Sorted tool is based on a wealth of research and testing. As more and more of us take the quiz, we’ll continue to refine it to bring you ever more perspective into our money lives. The insights can support us to make the sharpest choices for our futures.

Here's more on how this quiz works.
