‘This or That’ Instagram Story trend

The viral trend is a template with a list of personality traits, and you have to circle which one you like the most.

The first line says “Introvert or Extrovert” followed by “Lefty or Righty,” “Simple or Glam” and “Rain or Sunshine”.

Each one helps your followers learn more about you by revealing which one you prefer from the two options.

It was created by an Instagram user called Add Yours Extra, who makes all kinds of cool collaborative templates.
