Framework Tests — Archetypes, Enneagram, MBTI-Style & Big Five
The heavy machinery of self-description: archetypes for the story you're living, the Enneagram for what motivates you, an MBTI-style sorter for how you process, A/B/C/D for how you handle pressure, and the Big Five for the trait profile researchers actually measure. Each page states its framework's source and its scientific standing — several of these are beloved and imperfect, and you deserve to know which is which.
The tools
Types vs traits — the honest map
Type systems (MBTI-style letters, Enneagram numbers, archetypes) sort people into buckets and are loved for vocabulary: they make differences discussable. Trait systems (the Big Five) measure continuous dimensions and are preferred by researchers for stability and prediction. This cluster runs both so you can compare your own results across lenses — the disagreements between them are usually the most informative part.
Every result carries its resolution
Short tests are honest about their limits: the MBTI-style sorter shows a strength bar per letter because three questions per dichotomy means one answer moves a letter by a third; the Enneagram page shows all nine scores because near-ties mean you answered from behavior instead of motivation. No fake precision, no hidden scoring, nothing uploaded.
