CARTRON Questions
What is CarTron?
CarTron is a unique Advance Algorithm Personality Test (AAPT), designed by leading industry experts in behavioural
science, statistics, and marketing. Compiled from decades of research based on hundreds of thousands of consumers,
with over 50,000 styles of vehicle analysed, CarTron’s massive database finds the right car for YOU. Its results are
never influenced by advertisers and it’s always evolving with today’s market and trends to remain up-to-date and
accurate..
Is the CarTron Personality Test scientifically accurate?
Yes. CarTron was designed by leading industry experts in behavioural science, statistics, and marketing to provide
the most accurate assessment of personality and preferences. Take the test and see for yourself.
Does it have every vehicle?
CarTron’s vast database includes every make and model on the market today, including used cars as far back as 1997.
Whatever your budget or needs, CarTron will find the best car for you.
How long does the quiz take?
The CarTron quiz should take no longer than a few minutes, unless you need more time to answer the
questions – which you may want, given the depth of the test!
Do I need to be a CarHub member to take the test?
No. Anyone can take the test. However, if you become a member, we’ll use your results to personalize your
CarHub experience, such as providing you with updates when new cars that fit your preferences are released.
How does it work?
We surveyed hundreds of thousands of people regarding their personality traits and consumer preferences.
We also use your answers to match you with people who have answered questions similarly and look at those
people's preferences. We then match those preferences to our database of thousands of vehicle makes, models and
styles to provide you with the right vehicle for your individual needs.
Is every question a straight either/or choice, or does it take into account degrees of choice?
Decades of psychology research show that it is the relative preference of values that is most predictive.
Accordingly, our algorithms take into account the degree of preference that you specify in each question.
What if I don’t agree with the outcome? Can I take the test again or are my answers stored with my account?
You can change your answers and take the test as many times as you like. CarTron is continually learning
so you can help teach it new things by removing vehicles from your results or clicking on vehicles that you
find are good matches.
Is the final recommendation influenced by advertising or sponsorship of brands on CarHub?
No. Recommendations are completely independent of any sponsorships/advertising. They are only based on
scientific research and your answers.
Does it only include new cars, or are used cars considered?
Both new and used cars are included in your results by default, although you can specify which you prefer.
How far back do the used cars go?
Our database lists cars as far back as 1997.
