Four Independent Modules

One Assessment. Four Dimensions.

Most tests measure one thing. TYG maps four independent psychological dimensions — each grounded in validated research used in clinical settings for decades.

A
Trait Psychology · Big Five

Cognitive Style

How your mind processes information, forms judgements, and approaches complexity — your stable cognitive signature across every context.

B
Self-Determination Theory

Psychological Needs

The three core needs that determine whether you thrive or slowly burn out — autonomy, competence, and connection, and how you pursue each one.

C
Attachment Theory · Bowlby

Connection Style

How you attach, protect yourself, and navigate closeness — the relationship strategy your nervous system defaults to under emotional pressure.

D
Schema Therapy · Young

Stress Response

The patterns your mind activates under pressure — where they formed, what triggers them, and what they reveal about your deepest coping structure.

Why It's Different

You've Done MBTI.
This Goes Further.

If you've taken personality tests and still felt like something was missing — you were right. Here's why TYG is built differently.

Four Independent Dimensions

MBTI gives you four letters. Enneagram gives you a number. TYG maps four separate psychological systems that interact in ways a single score can never capture — because you're not one-dimensional.

Peer-Reviewed Science, Not Proprietary Scoring

Every module is built on frameworks validated by decades of academic research — Big Five, Self-Determination Theory, Attachment Theory, Schema Therapy. Not invented typologies. Not astrology dressed as science.

A Map, Not a Label

You don't get a type and a tagline. You get dimension scores, a stress response profile, a growth blueprint, and your position in a system of 24 archetypes — a complete picture of how your mind actually works.

How It Works

From first question to full cognitive map — in about 8 minutes.

01

Answer 72 Questions

Situational prompts across four modules. Not trivia — questions that capture how you actually think and respond under real conditions.

02

Your Mind Is Mapped

Your responses are scored across four independent dimensions — building a layered cognitive profile that no single typology can produce.

03

Your Archetype Emerges

The system identifies which of 24 cognitive archetypes matches your profile — and places you within one of six archetype islands.

04

Explore Your Full Report

Archetype, dimension scores, stress response profile, growth blueprint, and historical figures who share your cognitive structure — all in one place.

What Your Result Looks Like

Your report maps your cognitive identity across multiple layers — from your archetype to your stress patterns, growth blueprint, and historical parallels.

Your Archetype

The Strategic Architect

You think in systems and structures. Before acting, your mind builds frameworks — weighing options, mapping outcomes, and designing the path forward with precision.

The Archetype System

Your cognitive profile belongs to one of six archetype islands — each representing a different way of thinking, connecting, and navigating the world. Together they form a system of 24 unique archetypes.

Three Ways to Explore Your Mind

After your assessment, your cognitive profile unlocks three exploration layers — each designed to deepen a different dimension of self-understanding.

Mirror

See Your Inner Patterns

Understand your cognitive patterns, blind spots, and how your thinking evolves over time.

Decision

How Your Mind Makes Choices

Scenarios calibrated to your profile that reveal how you reason, adapt, and choose when stakes are high.

History

Genius Minds With Similar Structures

Discover historical figures who share your cognitive structure — and how minds like yours have shaped the world.

It doesn't label you.
It maps how your mind works.

This is not a personality quiz. It is a structured system built on four decades of peer-reviewed research, designed to reveal the patterns that shape how you think, decide, connect, and cope.
