Ads disclosure

Here is how difficultpersontest.org pays its way, and the rules we follow so that money never shapes the difficult person test or its guides. The same principles apply on every page of difficultpersontest.org.

Funding

The difficult person test costs nothing to use because advertising pays for hosting, development and writing. We do not charge for the difficult person test and do not ask you to register. The ads earn the same whatever the difficult person test tells you, which means nothing pushes us to bend its results.

Ads from third-party networks

The advertising on difficultpersontest.org is supplied by third-party ad networks. The networks decide which ads appear, usually automatically, based on the page and, where permitted, on your interests. We do not select the advertisers ourselves, and seeing an ad here does not mean we recommend the product. Details of the cookies involved are in our Privacy Policy.

Reviews and endorsements

Paid reviews and paid endorsements have no place on difficultpersontest.org. When a guide mentions a product or a method, it is there because it is relevant, not because someone paid for it. Nor can anyone buy the removal of a fair criticism.

Paid placements

Any link that someone paid us to include is clearly labelled as sponsored. Such links are also marked nofollow (or rel=“sponsored”), so search engines do not treat them as editorial recommendations. Every other link is editorial and placed because it helps the reader.

How the guides are written

Neither advertisers nor ad networks influence how the difficult person test works or what the guides say. The purpose of the guides is to help you use the difficult person test well, and that is the only thing that decides their content. Errors are corrected when we find them or when readers point them out. You can report one at [email protected].

If an ad bothers you

Seeing ads is the price of a free difficult person test; we aim to place them so that they do not interfere with your work. Please let us know about any ad that seems deceptive or unsuitable, with the page address, so that we can report it to the network that served it. The difficult person test also works with an ad blocker turned on.
