What's your taste type?
Four letters for how you eat, plus one for how bold you like it. Then a closer read on your pace, places and vibe. 20 questions, about 4 minutes, free.
Just for fun — a food-preference quiz, not a psychological or health assessment.
Twenty quick questions. No wrong answers — just how you like to eat.
The four letters
Each letter is one side of how you eat. Your code is the four sides you lean toward.
1. Discovery
E: Explorer
Chases dishes they've never tried
R: Regular
Has go-to spots and go-to orders
2. Company
G: Gatherer
Eats best around a shared table
S: Solo
Savors a meal on their own terms
3. Planning
P: Planner
Researches, saves and books ahead
F: Freestyler
Follows the craving in the moment
4. Occasion
C: Celebrator
Turns meals into an occasion
D: Daily
Loves easy, everyday eats
The fifth letter: Bold or Mellow
After the four letters comes a flavor dial, written like a suffix: EGPC-B or EGPC-M. It never changes which of the 16 types you are. It says how loud you like what's on the plate.
-B: Bold
Wants heat, funk, crunch and big flavor
-M: Mellow
Wants balance, comfort and clean flavor
The four families
Your first two letters put you in a family: how you find food, and who you share it with.
Scouts
EG··Explorer + Gatherer
Scouts are the friends who text the group about a place that opened last week, then get everyone there. New food is better when there are people to pass it to.
Wanderers
ES··Explorer + Solo
Wanderers chase new dishes on their own schedule. A counter seat, a side street, a stall with no sign: they would rather taste it first and tell you about it later.
Hosts
RG··Regular + Gatherer
Hosts know the place that works and fill it with people. The food is familiar on purpose, so the night can be about the table.
Keepers
RS··Regular + Solo
Keepers have a short list of places and a perfected order at each one. They know exactly what they like, and they enjoy it at their own pace.
All 16 taste types
Every type has its own character. Tap one to meet them.
Scouts · Explorer + Gatherer
Find the new spot, bring everyone
Wanderers · Explorer + Solo
Go find it, on their own terms
Hosts · Regular + Gatherer
Trusted places, full tables
Keepers · Regular + Solo
Keep their favorites close
Taste type vs match score
Your taste type is how you eat, just for fun. Your palate is what you love, and in the app that is what your match scores use.
Your match score (0–100) is how well a dish or place fits your palate — not the crowd's average. See how taste matching works.
Good to know
What is a taste type?
A taste type is a four-letter code for how you like to eat: Explorer or Regular, Gatherer or Solo, Planner or Freestyler, Celebrator or Daily. It works like a personality type, for food. Each of the 16 types has its own character, like the fox for EGPC or the sloth for RSFD.
What does the -B or -M at the end mean?
The fifth letter is your flavor dial: B for Bold (heat, funk, crunch and big flavor) or M for Mellow (balance, comfort and clean flavor). It never changes which of the 16 types you are, so an EGPC-B and an EGPC-M are both Destination Diners who order differently.
What are the four taste type families?
The first two letters put you in a family. Scouts (EG) find new spots and bring people, Wanderers (ES) explore on their own terms, Hosts (RG) gather people around trusted places, and Keepers (RS) keep their favorites close.
Is the taste type quiz free?
Yes. The quiz is 20 questions, takes about 4 minutes, and needs no account. Your result stays in your browser.
How is a taste type different from a match score?
Your taste type is how you eat, just for fun. Your palate is what you love, and in the Palytt app that is what your match score on every dish uses. Learn how taste matching works.
Is this a personality or health test?
No. It is just for fun — a food-preference quiz, not a psychological or health assessment.
