What is Your Chronotype?
To better understand your biological programming and discover which Chronotype best fits you, take the quiz below and answer each of the questions to the best of your ability. Each question has been carefully crafted to place you in the right Chronotype category so, for the most accurate results, please be answer each question as honestly as you possibly can.
There are four Chronotypes (Dolphin, Lion, Bear, and Wolf), and most people fit into the “Bear” category. Which Chronotype will you fall under?
Every person has a master biological clock ticking away inside of their brain, and dozens of smaller biological clocks throughout his or her body.
But, unlike a normal clock, not every person’s biological clock keeps the same time or even at the same pace. If you’ve ever heard someone say, “I’m not a morning person”, well there’s a reason for that. Some people are meant to be more productive in the morning than at night, and vice versa.
Believe it or not – your body has been programmed to function much better at certain times of the day than others. Based on general morningness and eveningness preferences, different people fall into different classifications, called “Chronotypes”.
Each Chronotype will reveal exactly what you need to do to work with your body, not against it.
