Write like yourself

What’s your LinkedIn
writing style?

Most people who struggle on LinkedIn aren’t bad writers. They’re writing in someone else’s style. They read a viral post, copy the format and wonder why it sounds stiff. It sounds stiff because it isn’t them.

This free LinkedIn writing style quiz starts with what you do. Wiri writes eight questions from your own work week: a client call, a launch, a mistake, a win. You pick short answers, and a meter beside the questions shows which style is pulling ahead. Then it tells you which of nine styles fits you best: Storyteller, Straight shooter, Teacher, Contrarian, Warm & human, One-liner, Humorist, Analyst or Builder in public. You also get a close second, three things that work for your style, one trap to avoid, and a first line written in that style so you can hear what it sounds like.

These are the same nine styles Wiri, the writer inside Wiral, uses when it drafts posts. So the result isn’t a horoscope. It’s a starting point you can actually write with.

How to take the quiz

  1. Type what you do, or pick it, and who you write for if you like.
  2. Answer each question with your first instinct. Don’t pick what sounds impressive.
  3. Read your style, the close second and the sample first line.
  4. Read what works for your style and the one thing to watch out for.
  5. Add your name and download your certificate: square for a LinkedIn post, tall for your WhatsApp status or Instagram story.

Why your style matters more than a template

People follow people. They follow you because you sound like a real person they’d want to hear from again. The moment you switch to a template, you sound like everyone else using it.

Your style is how you already talk at work: the way you explain things to a new colleague, the way you tell a story at lunch. Your job is to write like that, then tidy it up. Tidy, not rewrite.

Tip: A storyteller forcing a list post, or an analyst forcing a feel-good story, reads as fake within two lines. Play to your style first. Stretch later.

Check it against your real posts

A quiz tells you how you think you write. Your posts tell you how you actually write. Paste three of them into the writing style analyzer and compare.

Then put your style to work. Get a week of openings with the post ideas generator, find a story in your own week with the story finder, or turn an idea into a full post with the LinkedIn post generator.

The quiz is free with no sign-up, one quiz a day. Your answers and your name stay in your browser.

Questions about the LinkedIn writing style quiz.

What are the LinkedIn writing styles?

The quiz uses nine: Storyteller, Straight shooter, Teacher, Contrarian, Warm & human, One-liner, Humorist, Analyst and Builder in public. Most people lean on one and borrow from a second.

How long does the quiz take?

About two minutes. Wiri writes eight questions for your job, each with four short answers, then works out your style and draws your certificate.

Can I change my writing style?

You can stretch it, but your best posts usually come from the style you already use when you talk. Start there, then try your close second now and then.

Is the writing style quiz free?

Yes. No sign-up, one quiz a day. Your answers and your name stay in your browser; only your job title is sent, to write the questions.

Can I share my result?

Yes. Download your certificate for a LinkedIn post, your WhatsApp status or an Instagram story, or copy the share line with a link that opens straight on your style.

Posting every week is the hard part.

Wiral turns a thought, a voice note or a link into three posts that sound like you, with images and carousels built in. You pick one, it goes in your queue.
