Short answer
Health & Fitness (23 quiz apps) and Education (11) dominate the corpus of 119 quiz apps; only those two clear the N>=8 reporting threshold.source[1] Every other category — Photo & Video (5), Music (4), Reference (4) and below — is a handful of apps, so treat them as directional, not statistical.source[1] If you are in H&F or Education, a quiz is a mainstream choice.
Health & Fitness (23) and Education (11) lead onboarding-quiz adoption among 119 quiz apps — Lazyweb Research, July 2026.

The distribution
Only Health & Fitness and Education reach the N>=8 bar; everything below is an absolute count, reported with named examples, never as a percentage.source[1]
How to apply it
If you are in Health & Fitness or Education, a personalization quiz is a well-trodden path — benchmark depth against those verticals (H&F ~6 questions, Education ~2).source[2] If you are in Photo & Video, Music, Finance, or another thin category, you have fewer peers to copy; a quiz is more of a differentiator and a bigger experiment. Named non-fitness quiz apps include copilot (investment goal question) and alyx (caffeine-limit tiers).source[3]
Caveats
Category counts join companies.category on lower(company_name), so unmatched apps drop out.source[1] Below N=8, differences between, say, Music (4) and Reference (4) are noise. Treat sub-threshold categories as 'a few apps do this,' not as a reliable adoption rate.

Methodology
Universe: 119 quiz apps in the Lazyweb vision corpus, joined to companies.category. Method: distinct quiz-app count per category via vision_description regex, July 2026. Caveat: only H&F and Education clear N>=8; sub-threshold categories are absolute counts, not rates.
