[p][/p][p]Ever wonder what personality types the spirits of Sky are? What about your own personality type? From January 9th through 23rd, players who have unlocked the Daylight Prairie portal can visit the event guide to take Sky’s new Personality Quiz and participate in a fun Community Trivia Game![/p][p][/p][h2]What is Your Personality Type?[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]Upon teleporting to the new event space, you can engage with the new Personality Quiz and go through a series of questions. To respond to each, simply approach the diorama for the response that best fits you. Once you’ve picked the one you want, move to the crystal and press the button to go to the next question.[/p][p]At the end, there will be a pedestal that allows you to reset your responses, and a meditation circle available that can teleport you to the beginning of the quiz so that you can take it again. 
[/p][p]The personality types are split into four color groups – green, yellow, blue, and purple – and each color group is split into four distinct types, which means there are 16 personality types in all.[/p][p]Once you’ve taken the quiz and received your type, a corresponding icon will appear above your head while you’re in the event space. Outside of the event space, you and other players will only have the icon above your heads when using a social prop like a chat bench. The icons will not appear above unlit players.[/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]After taking the quiz, you can find a reflecting pool which shows the icons for all personality types. When you approach, you’ll be able to see spirit representatives that fall under each type! Which spirits share the same personality type as you? 
[/p][p]Once the Personality Quiz Event ends on January 23rd, the event space will move to the Secret Area. From there, you can repeat the Quiz as often as you like![/p][p][/p][p]Based on regional feedback, responses to four-letter acronyms associated with different personality types varied. Some regions express less affinity for letter-based personality labels, while others appreciate and expect them. To ensure the best experience across all regions, there will be a small difference in how the different personality types are labeled in certain regions.[/p][p]In select languages, four-letter labels will be displayed alongside Sky personalities:[/p]

• [p]Japanese[/p]
• [p]Korean[/p]
• [p]Simplified Chinese[/p]
• [p]Traditional Chinese[/p]
• [p]Thai[/p]

[p]Thank you for your continued support and feedback, we’re excited to see the content you'll create! [/p][p][/p][h3]Removing Personality Information[/h3][p]Not sure you want to keep your Personality Quiz results? That’s ok! During the event, there’s a pedestal after the Quiz that will allow you to remove your results from your account. Removing your results will also remove the icon that appears above your avatar’s head.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Once the Personality Quiz Event is over, you can still delete your results by going to the Secret Area’s entrance and finding the stack of stones in the corner. If you have a personality type set, simply use the Point emote near the stones and a button will appear which allows you to remove the information from your account without requiring you to access the event space. [/p][p][/p][h2]Community Trivia Game[/h2][p]During the event, you can try to predict the answer to a question about different personality traits and predictions. Pick the spirit that corresponds with the personality type you feel best fits the prompt. After reset time, you can approach the spirits again to reveal the correct answer for the previous day.[/p][p][/p][p]Once you reveal the answer, you’ll be awarded with a candle for participating! If you miss a day, don’t fret – even though the 14 questions are only revealed one at a time, you can still complete all previous days’ questions and receive the rewards at any time during the event, and the Community Trivia Game is accessible to all players regardless of whether or not they took the Personality Quiz. [/p][p][/p][h2]Message Boats Galore[/h2][p]After completing the Personality Quiz, you can find a special space for message boats in the reflecting pool area of the event space. Boats placed here will have a personality type listed above them and be dyed the corresponding color, and every two days a different prompt will be available to inspire players. These prompts will continue to appear after the event ends, for players who want to continue leaving thoughtful messages in the future.
[/p][h2]Collectibles[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]In the event space, there are four new collectibles you can obtain in exchange for regular candles. There are also four new IAPS that represent each color group of personality types:[/p]

• [p]Yellow Paintbrush[/p]
• [p]Green Folded Ears[/p]
• [p]Purple Spectacles[/p]
• [p]Blue Pinned Cap
  [/p]

[p]Which type will you get? Will it match your favorite spirit? Which personality type do you tend to befriend the most in Sky? Do you think your Sky Kid has the same type as you, or are they different? There are so many different ways to express yourself in Sky, and we look forward to seeing you continue to share your unique personality with the world!
