The free test is 24 questions and gives you your cognitive archetype — how you think. The $39 report adds three more frameworks: what you need, how you attach, and how you cope under pressure.
Four Dimensions
Each module targets a distinct layer of who you are. Together they produce a picture no single test can generate alone.
Maps your dominant cognitive style across six personality dimensions — revealing which of the six archetype islands is home to you.
Measures how well your three core psychological needs — Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness — are being met in your life right now.
Maps your attachment patterns across two dimensions — revealing how you approach intimacy, closeness, and emotional vulnerability.
Identifies the emotional modes you activate when things get hard — and points toward the Healthy Adult state you're capable of.
The Result
Your scores across the four modules converge on one of 24 archetypes — each living on one of six islands, each with its own distinct character.
Each island holds four archetypes. Your unique combination of scores determines exactly where you land — and no two maps are identical.
The Process
Simple to take, hard to game. Each question is deliberate — the assessment is designed so that honest answers produce the most accurate result.
One question at a time, four options each. The format keeps you in the moment rather than second-guessing. Takes about four minutes — no account needed.
Your 24 answers place you on six cognitive islands and resolve to one of 24 archetypes — how you think, what you bring, and where your growth edge sits.
The $39 report adds 48 questions across three more frameworks — your needs profile, connection style and stress modes — for the complete picture.
Why It's Different
Most personality tools reduce you to a type. This one maps the full terrain.
Every response is a data point, not a judgment. The assessment captures your honest pattern — not an ideal version of yourself.
Four independent modules score in parallel. You don't get a single type — you get a profile that reflects real psychological complexity.
Four established psychological frameworks. Fifty-plus years of research. No pop psychology, no guesswork — grounded in what the science actually shows.
Honest Framing
Self-awareness tools are most useful when their limits are clear.
No archetype is better or worse than another. The map describes — it doesn't rank. Take it seriously, but hold it lightly.
