This is not a test. It’s a quiet walk, through a few questions, a few moments. You can write as much or as little as you like. All we ask is that you answer gently, honestly, and alone. Your words won’t be judged or scored. They’ll simply become part of a quiet study - one that explores how we express ourselves through language.

This is a quiet research study about language and expression.
You’ll be asked a small set of open-ended questions. There are no right or wrong answers. Your responses help us understand how people reveal themselves through words — not as a test, but as a reflection.
This study is part of an early research project called Quiet Match.
Your responses will be stored securely, used to explore language and human traits, and may be used for training or evaluating machine learning models. Your data will never be shared or published in a way that could identify you. No commercial use. No marketing.
All data is stored in encrypted form on a secure research server (hosted on Render). Only the Quiet Match research team has access. Data may be anonymized for longer-term analysis. Retention is limited to 12 months unless anonymized.
You may stop participating at any time before submission by closing the tab.
If you’ve completed the study and want your data removed, message us through Prolific with your Prolific ID. We can’t remove your data without that ID.
This study is run by the Quiet Match research team. If you have questions, contact us via Prolific’s messaging system.
