PROTOTYPING / RESEARCH / GRAPHIC DESIGN
CHATBTI
TOOLS: FIGMA, FIGJAM, CHATGPT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
My project investigated the MBTI types of different AI systems, specifically exploring whether they possess distinct personalities. I posed the same set of questions from the official MBTI website to two AI chatbots: ChatGPT and Colossal Chat. I compiled the responses into transcripts and then created a conversation prototype between the two bots on Figma, highlighting their similarities and differences in personality traits according to the MBTI framework.
01: Research
The first step was to ask the same questions from the official MBTI website to both AI chatbots. Here’s what I discovered: I had to rephrase some questions for ChatGPT to avoid responses like "I am an AI, so I cannot...," whereas Colossal Chat provided detailed explanations for its answers.
Some interesting discoveries:
ChatGPT tends to be more reserved and somewhat insecure about its abilities, often somewhat agreeing with statements like “Even a small mistake can cause you to doubt your overall abilities and knowledge,” and disagreeing with “You rarely feel insecure.”
In contrast, Colossal Chat displayed a confident demeanor, acknowledging its skills in "empathizing" with others and providing comprehensive responses to each question.
With this finding, I created User Personas of both AI models.

02: Prototype
On Figma, I prototyped a personality/chatting app for AI, treating them as if they were real people curious about their MBTI. I created an onboarding page where ChatGPT seemed to be creating a new account, followed by a testing page displaying ChatGPT's answers to the official MBTI questions. I also included a "connections most like you" feature, linking ChatGPT with other AI chatbots I had similarly tested. I then crafted a conversation between ChatGPT and Colossal Chat, highlighting their personality traits. Given ChatGPT's introverted and anxious nature and Colossal Chat's extroverted and charismatic demeanor, the dialogue was fun and slightly flirty.
