Are you Steel or Water? Fairy or Feline? The viral Taiwan Design Expo Innate Personality Traits Quiz has had everyone asking each other these questions and we’ve got just the answers for you — Traveller Edition!
You know you’re spending far too much time on the internet when you already know which F.R.I.E.N.D you are or which Disney character is your true soulmate. Still, there is something so genuinely enticing about having the forces of the World Wide Web figure out your personality! If you relate to this, you’ve probably heard of (and maybe even taken) the viral Taiwan Design Expo Personality Test that asks you 12 very metaphorical questions that nobody truly understands and then assigns you an eerily accurate element that seems to have glanced into your soul. But hey, it’s really fun!
Did you choose to listen to the big angry bird or did you ignore it? (If you don’t know what I am talking about, take the test here). Your personality report is delivered to you in a colourful, strikingly designed graphic (with the cutest illustrations) that you’ll forever keep in your photo gallery. And if you’re headed to Taiwan in the next few days, don’t miss the actual design expo in New Taipei. But for now, here’s the travel edition of the Taiwan Design Expo Innate Personality Traits Quiz 👇

🗺️ What Kind Of Traveller Are You Based On Your Taiwan Design Expo Innate Personality Traits Quiz?:
1. Ground: The Daydreaming Traveller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
Let’s start solid with the element Ground. They go from “Yeah, we’ll see” to “You hurt my feelings” in 0.5 seconds. They’re perfectionists to the point of not getting anything done until the last minute, but they do their absolute best work in peak moments of pressure. They probably need a break from everything and crave some unstructured time to stroll through meandering lanes or lie unencumbered in open fields under the stars.
If this is you, pamper your element by travelling to the glittering seafront of the Ionian Islands in Greece, or bring out your spirit sommelier in the vineyards of Provence, France. Try catching the scarlet daybreak from your cruise ship as the sun rises over Halong Bay, Vietnam — and with Light and Water as your most compatible signs, you’ll feel perfectly supported along the way.

2. Fire: The Terrible Influence

Up next and blazing, we have the element Fire which is absolutely ready to light up the room wherever they are. Enthusiastic and constitutionally go-getters, they’re spontaneous enough to pick up and leave for a weekend trip to Hong Kong or end up skydiving over Fox Glacier, New Zealand (and bring their friends down with them too).
If any of these kindles a spark within you, head west towards Rome for a cultural trip brimming with freedom and creativity. Go zip-lining in the 1,500-year-old forests of Thailand, or reclaim your freedom by horseback riding on the ochre estancias of Argentina. Besties include Ground and Light elements.

3. Water: The Constantly Overwhelmed Traveller
Image Credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
According to the test, Water itself could use a glass of water. They’re worried, indecisive, and definitely don’t want any surprises (so please don’t deviate from the itinerary!). As a fellow Water, I can attest to all of that. Comfortable only with the people closest to them (attn: Light and Ground), they have rich inner worlds that need tending to before they can lean into aestheticism and love to dip into new cultures, slowly and smoothly.
Visit the Moorish manors of Andalusia, followed by an evening of flamenco and tapas, or go stargazing at the Maunakea Volcano in Hawaii. Take some time to reflect on the monasteries and mosques at Langmusi on the Tibetian Plateau, and the water element will have found its peace.

4. Light: The People-Person

Light is that one extroverted friend who takes the shy ones under their wing and provides them with a social life, all without credit. They’re down for anything, always excited and eager to help. You name the place, and they’ll have the itinerary ready — filled with spots bustling with life and spirit, ready to have the time of their life.
Most compatible with Fire and Water, Light is romantic and dreamy enough to appreciate the storytelling of Parisian monuments, and lively enough to go partying in the thrilling clubs of Rio. You can find them traversing through the streets of Vegas or chatting up a barista at the indie cafes of Melbourne. Unapologetic, Light can travel the world without complaints, as long as their people-person requirement is met.

5. Grass: The Dutiful, Conventional Traveller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
Grass has simple needs; they’re here to have a good time. Committed and grounded, they enjoy time with loved ones regardless of where it may be. That means no need for researching off-the-beaten-path itineraries or unorthodox travel plans. But that’s no reason to slack off, grounded as they are, Grass does reach up to the sky!
Turn up your tourist mode to the max, and go around the best tried and tested destinations around the globe: travel to London and bask in all its glory, and spend a week in the romantic beaches and temples of Bali. Try the scrumptious foods at the Taiwanese night markets, or marvel at the archaic monuments of Rome. Paired smoothest with Super Power or Feline elements, Grass can make any trip a great one!

6. Ice: The Constant Eye-Roller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
They’re snarky, and they know it. They’ll be critical of any fluffy nonsense, so art exhibits with slightly far-fetched metaphors are out of the question. Museums could definitely be up their alley, provided the museums follow some etiquette of the scientific method and reason. Because all Ice is looking for is logic to make sense of their world.
Paired flawlessly with elements Poison and Electric, Ice finds peace in the natural order, vis a vis, a campsite or simply hanging up a hammock between two palm trees and reading the hottest new non-fiction in slow swing. Camp in the great outdoors under Mount Cook or Aoraki in New Zealand or find yourself in a different time in the Northern Spanish region of Asturias, where craggy coastlines meet the lush green mountains.

7. Electric: The Minimalist Traveller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
Definitely a friend of Ice, the Electric element is not a people-person and silently rejects any notion that doesn’t dwell within logic. They’re analytical and unfiltered, and take on the world in their individualistic and autonomous way. They have a taste for finer things in life and they want to explore it unimpeded, so you might find them stuffing all their luggage in a single backpack and already on the go.
While you could find them anywhere, observing the world like a fly on the wall, they’re most likely to head towards the quiet. Think the monasteries of Bhutan, perched atop the secluded high mountains. Or a cultural visit to Kyoto while partaking in the actual culture of the city. If you look closely, you might find Electric sipping on tea with elements Flying and Ice in Istanbul, where the cultures of the East and West converge to form a completely unique one of their own.

8. Flying: The Scatter-brained Traveller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
The Flying element, right off the bat, will make you the perfect travel plan and then comically fail at seeing it through. They’ll leave souvenirs everywhere they go — their toothbrush, their socks, and the frozen food they left in the hotel mini-fridge but forgot to bring back with them. And don’t be a sourpuss and call them out on it, or they will fight you.
Curious as ever, the Flying element thrives on the hustle and bustle and they’ll take the biggest bites of the culture offered to them. Head west to New York and partake in the New Yorker right of passage of walking down the street bagel in one hand, coffee in the other. Stay up to speed in the organised chaos that is Tokyo where the entire city lives and breathes as one organism.

9. Poison: The Daredevil
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
While there is nothing remotely poisonous about the Poison element, it is certainly one of the most accomplished and headstrong personalities. They’ll push you to do more than you thought you were capable of. Booking non-refundable flights to the most offbeat places, Poison individuals are risk-takers who love stepping out of their comfort zones (and will perhaps drag you to do the same, but it’s a little better if you’re a Ice or Flying personality).
Head down to Macchu Picchu, to climb the glorious Incan citadel seated in the Andes or paraglide over the Blue Lagoon in Turkey. Try famous street food from the cobwebbed gallis of Delhi or drive down the terrifyingly winded yet picturesque Trollstigen Highway in Norway as the sharp turns give you goosebumps.

10. Ghost: The Solo Traveller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
Content in their own company, the Ghost needs nobody to have a good time. They live in the moment and obey their urge to pack up and leave, travelling the world from the most touristy to the most exotic places in the world. They’re always on board to collect their set of authentic experiences, unmarred by the need for validation.
With Wind and Rock elements as their trusted allies, the Ghost element can be found in the remotest of places like Reykjavik, traversing the small city at their own pace, or living as the monks do in the sacred temples of Mount Koya, Kansai in Japan.

11. Wind: The Touristy-But-Not-Quite Traveller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
The Wind Personality deals in the present and gets what it wants without too much complication. They’re resourceful, so you’ll find them in the best non-crowded spot in the tourist attraction, or obscured cafes near tourist spots that are common knowledge only to the locals.
Like the actual wind, their gentle draft blows into every nook and cranny of the city. Explore the Leadenhall Market in London, and take pictures at sights where the Harry Potter films were shot, or sail down Hong Kong in the Walla-Walla boat that once ferried passengers from Kowloon to Hong Kong and learn about the local fishing cultures!

12. Rock: The Tour-Guide
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
The Rock persona is true to its name — they’re stable and grounded, so why mess with it? Reliable, down-to-earth, and dignified, the Rock takes pleasure in familiarity and has an uncanny knack for planning a great itinerary with savings and all in mind. They’ve researched their trip so thoroughly that it’s kind of pointless to actually visit. If you need a duo where one person does the whole planning and you don’t want to, you’ve found yourself a travel buddy in the Rock.
The Rock wants to explore and discover cultures with the eye of an expert guide and walk away with a new knowledge base — so it’s only fair they’re somewhere with an abundance of history and culture to rediscover. Think Japan, which unpacks itself in a new way every time you visit, or Kolkata or Lucknow, which redefines the image of India through its myriad and complex histories.

13. Super Power: The Social Media Journalist
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
Enthusiastic and bubbly, the Super Power personality is your partner in crime and will faithfully document every single mishap of yours on Instagram. They’re curious and excited to discover new cultures but are not as furrowed-browed as the Rock. In any case, there’s far too much going on in their heads to make space for more worries.
The Super Power brings its infectious personality and makes every place a party, but it’s far easier to find them travelling in Bangkok, where the days are to discover temples and attractions. While the evening calls for countless discos, cabarets, and more. If you’re looking for nightlife a little further away, get cheap beer in Prague which is peppered with clubs and bars and leave every night a bit hazy when you wake up the next morning.

14. Fairy: The Puckish Traveller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
The Fairy is impish and moody, so their threshold for boredom is pretty low. They have no intention of staying within their comfort zone and seek something exciting at every street corner. Their trip itinerary is basically a Pinterest board full of pictures they hope to recreate, so if you’re travelling with them, expect no moment of rest.
The Fairy travels far and wide, but nothing heals them more than the hustle and bustle of the busy city streets of Barcelona, Spain where spontaneity abounds, or the exotic and romantic seascapes of Bali, Indonesia perfect for blocks of indulgent relaxation and endless adventures. If you’re a Feline or Super Power personality, it’s most likely to be the trip of your life!

15. Steel: The One With All The Travel Hacks
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
Steel is strong, reliant, and barely ever cracks under pressure, so if you ever miss your flight, you know who to look for. Well, in any case, if you’re travelling with a Steel personality type, chances are, you’re already at the airport four hours early. Plus, you’d have a schedule mapped out for you with timings on when to sleep so there’s no jet lag. The precision of Steel comes from a love for efficiency and they’re mostly infallible in that respect.
From travel hacks that bring the bill down by a ton to a list of the most offbeat spots to visit, Steel has it all figured out. Find them appreciating structures and systems in Rome for its vast history and longevity or marvelling at thoughtfully planned cities like Zurich, Switzerland which only deepens their love for good design. Most compatible personalities include Rock and Wind, both ever ready to tag along with the reliable Steel.

16. Feline: The Independent Traveller
Image credits: Taiwan Design Expo’23
Last but not least (and in fact a little all-encompassing), is the Feline — the only animal to grace the Taiwan Design Expo Personality Test. Designed like the neighbourhood cat that comes and goes but never stays or settles, the Feline loves observing the world independently. They’re laid back and prefer to watch all the drama unfold from the sidelines. Adventurers at heart, the world is pretty much for them to explore.
From fjords in New Zealand to the historic cobblestone streets of Florence, the Feline finds inspiration everywhere. They connect with cultures and people wherever they go and then they move on to the next adventure. And the best part is they’re compatible with everyone, so nothing ever stops the Feline.
