THE CAI FAN TEST
YOU ARE WHAT YOU PICK
He’s taken a thousand orders.
Now he takes yours.
No hypothetical questions. The person behind the counter watches how you order, not just what you choose.
Research prototype.
FAIR ENOUGH
No queue, no read.
The Cai Fan Test reads a real cai fan order. If you don’t eat it, we’re not going to make you pretend.
Nothing has been recorded.

Three people
in front of you.
The queue moves quickly. You scan the trays and quietly rehearse: 这个，那个.
How much rice?
Answer the way you actually would at the counter.
STEP 2 · PICK YOUR DISHES
What are you having?
这个，那个. Tap the trays and pick what you would really order.
Take your time. The queue can wait a bit.
YOUR PLATE
Rice, for now.

Something missing?

A LOOK BACK AT YOUR ORDER
Here’s what we noticed.
These are actions in this visit, not conclusions about your personality.
How much can a lunch order really tell us?
The playful read
Your rice, dishes and gravy feed a set of provisional food-choice rules. The two strongest signals give your plate its name. The wording is written by us; it is not a scientifically established description of you.
The dish explanation highlights contributing dishes; your rice, gravy and the full combination also count. Your timing and changes do not change the plate read.
The research question
Do patterns in food choices relate to personality? Adults can help us investigate by answering the 20-item Mini-IPIP, a short Big Five questionnaire, before seeing their result.
Using an established questionnaire does not, by itself, validate this test. We still need participant data and independent validation.
