Thought this looked like a fun test to share. What type of reader are you?




The Purple Reader is The Unbound Innovator—a bold, unconventional thinker who thrives on experimental storytelling and genre-defying narratives. They read to challenge norms, stretch their imagination, and fuel radical creativity. After finishing a book, they want to feel intellectually awakened and creatively invigorated, as if they've glimpsed a new way of seeing the world.

I'm a green reader.
Grounded and purpose-driven, Green Readers view literature as a toolkit for navigating life. They aren't drawn to abstract or poetic writing for its own sake—what matters is whether a book offers wisdom they can use. They want stories and insights that illuminate real-world challenges and help them make sense of the complexity around them. They value clarity, structure, and strong logic. They often find themselves reading with a pen in hand, underlining ideas they'll come back to again and again. Green Readers don't just read for entertainment—they read to grow.

That sounds about right as all of my books consist of non-fiction & classroom style textbooks on human anatomy, the mind, and psychiatry.

I'm a dumb reader. If there is no dialogue in more than two pages I will get physically pissed at the book.

The kind of Books you read are…

The kind of books you read are wild, unconventional, and impossible to categorize. You're drawn to stories that break rules—narratives that twist form, blur genres, or leap through time and space without warning. Traditional plot arcs don't impress you nearly as much as originality, voice, and sheer creative risk. You love authors who challenge assumptions, upend expectations, and invite you into strange, brilliant new worlds. Whether it's fiction that feels like a fever dream or nonfiction that dares to imagine entirely new futures, you crave ideas that crack open your thinking. Your bookshelf isn't safe—it's a playground for the wildly inventive and the beautifully bizarre.

Your FICTION PREFERENCES

• Experimental and postmodern novels
• Surreal or dreamlike fables
• Books with nonlinear structures or shifting perspectives
• Genre mashups and speculative fiction with a philosophical edge
