Take This Test

A new interactive film by TalkShow.

SO, YOU GIVE TO CHARITY, YOU LENT YOUR FRIEND QUITE A LOT OF MONEY AND YOU ALWAYS SMILE AT PASSERS-BY, BUT ARE YOU A GOOD PERSON, DEEP DOWN?

Our moderator Clare is almost certain that you are a good person, and she’s ready to guide you through this interactive film , which will (fingers-crossed) give you a certificate to prove it! She’s sure you’ll find it a fun and rewarding experience, whether you’re on your own, or with a few close friends or colleagues.

Featuring candid testimony and confessions from people across the country, you’ll need your moral compass engaged to separate what’s OK and what’s…well…not.

Take This Test [to find out if you're a good person] starts by prodding at the absurdity of personality tests, from Buzzfeed-style clickbait to psychometrics, before taking us somewhere else entirely, all to explore our sense of morality, and if anything can really be described as good, or bad.
