# Notes: Wild Ducks Quiz Situation

**Date:** April 2026

**Context:**
- Found that Melinda at Wild Ducks released a quiz at https://wearewildducks.com/quiz
- Uses "creative flight path" metaphor with 4 patterns: Zig Zag, Spiral, Horizon Line, Braided
- Outputs 2 patterns: Dominant Path + Seasonal Path

**Applied Designer Quiz:**
- 10+ archetypes (Orchestrator, Researcher, Experimentalist, etc.)
- Dimension-based scoring
- Primary + secondary archetype output

**The problem:**
- "Ducks" is Melinda's entire brand
- Both quizzes solve a similar problem (career/creative identity)
- Both use dual-result format
- Haven't posted about Applied Designer quiz yet, so could look like copying

**Current status:**
- NOT URGENT
- Feeling uncertain, don't know what to do
- Not sure if should compete, pivot, collaborate, or let it be

**Key questions unanswered:**
- Did you enjoy building it?
- What's the goal for Applied Designer?
- Do you still want to do this?

**Decision:** Park it. Let uncertainty settle. Revisit later.
