The Reader Type Test: Meet Your Match
Every reader knows that books are a special kind of magic. The books we love are mirrors of our own inner worlds and portals to other realities. They make us laugh, cry, learn, grow, and see ourselves (and the world) in a whole new light.
We lose—and find—ourselves in books. Discover who you are as a reader, and find new books to feed your mind and elevate your spirit, with Folio’s Reader Type Test. Rooted in research findings in personality psychology, the science of motivation, and reading behaviors, Reader Types is designed to help you uncover what brings you to the page. Discover your type and get updated with regular book recommendations from Folio’s curated collection.
