The Algorithm
48 traits, seven lenses on who you are
Your portrait is measured across seven trait suites — labelled A to G. Each suite reads a different facet of how you think, feel and relate. Together they form the 48 traits that drive your report.
Symbolic choices
You never rate yourself on a scale. You make intuitive picks across 14 symbolic layers — archetypes, elements, shapes — that bypass the ego's editing.
Weighted links
Each choice carries 545 weighted links into the 48 traits. A single pick nudges several traits at once, by different amounts and directions.
Tension & friction
15 matrices read the contradictions between your choices — the productive tensions and the points of friction — so your profile is contextual, not a flat tally.
Calibrated scores
Everything resolves into 48 trait scores with confidence bands. Where the read is uncertain, you can fine-tune your character traits yourself.
The seven suites
Every trait, categorised
Cognitive Style
8 traits
How your mind frames a problem before it acts — the size of detail you chunk, the direction you think, and how you decide once the options are clear.
Chunking size · Thinking direction · Decision strategy · Convincer pattern
Motivation & Drive
6 traits
What sets you in motion and what keeps you there — the pull toward goals versus away from problems, and the source of your sense of agency.
Approach vs. avoid · Internal vs. external drive · Persistence
Energy & Regulation
6 traits
Where your energy comes from and how you manage its rise and fall — your pace, your recovery, and how you steady yourself under load.
Activation · Recovery rhythm · Self-regulation
Emotional Landscape
8 traits
The texture of your inner weather — how readily feeling arrives, how intensely it lands, and how you relate to it once it does.
Sensitivity · Intensity · Emotional expression · Resilience
Interpersonal Dynamics
8 traits
How you meet other people — the density of connection you seek, the warmth or directness you lead with, and how you hold your ground.
Connection density · Warmth · Assertiveness · Trust
Identity & Values
6 traits
The compass beneath your choices — what you treat as non-negotiable, how you author your own story, and where meaning comes from.
Core values · Self-authorship · Meaning orientation
Sensory & Processing
6 traits
How raw experience enters and is handled — the channels you favour, your appetite for stimulation, and the speed you turn input into understanding.
Sensory preference · Stimulation appetite · Processing speed
You stay in the loop
The algorithm proposes. You confirm.
No engine reads a person perfectly. After your journey, the fine-tuning step shows you every trait it measured — and lets you confirm or correct it. Your corrections refine your own report and chat, and feed the next generation of the algorithm.
