Which primate are YOU? Apeology is a quick, playful personality quiz that matches you to one of 20 real primates — from the mighty Gorilla to the wide-eyed Tarsier — and reveals the role you play in your troop. Answer a set of honest, everyday questions and our matching engine scores you across seven personality traits — sociability, assertiveness, curiosity, expressiveness, adaptability, conscientiousness, and agreeableness — then finds your closest primate match and your Primate Role: Alpha, Scout, Mediator, Forager, or Mentor. Then you get your very own official Ape ID card to show off and share. YOUR APE ID A beautifully designed ID card with your species, role, and a seven-point trait radar. Every card has a scannable code so friends can add you to their troop. THE APE-DEX A field guide to all 20 primates — personality traits, fun facts, habitat range maps, and real-world IUCN conservation status, plus the organizations working to protect them. MINI-GAMES & DAILY CHALLENGE Test yourself with Ape IQ trivia, Memory Match, and Guess the Primate. Come back for a fresh Daily Challenge and build a day streak.
