Typological Diagnostics · 3 to 12 minutes

An articulate mirror for your cognitive architecture, operational instinct, and private contradictions.

Most assessments flatten human complexity into sterile boxes or corporate clichés. We examine the deeper current: how you wrestle order from ambiguity, forge conviction under pressure, and navigate the quiet friction between your greatest strengths and their inevitable shadow tax. Your primary archetype and full vector alignment are free. The complete written dossier is $8 a month, locked at that rate while you remain a member.

Inquiries & Mechanics

What is typeof?

An inquiry into cognitive architecture, executive drive, and relational dynamics. Each diagnostic distills your responses into an archetypal portrait—mapping both your primary operational superpower and its latent shadow tax. Your primary archetype and full dimensional alignment scores are free. The complete written dossier is $8 a month.

Is this a psychological or clinical diagnosis?

The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are public-domain clinical severity instruments, scored strictly according to their authors’ specifications, and neither constitutes a medical diagnosis. Our inquiries into neurodivergence, mood cadence, and relational attachment are original typological reflections, not copyrighted clinical inventories. If you might act on thoughts of suicide, or you are in immediate danger, call or text 988 in the US, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 in Australia, or find a helpline for your country at findahelpline.com.

How long does an inquiry take?

Focused diagnostics comprise six calibration prompts and require roughly three minutes. Our comprehensive five-trait, four-axis, and nine-motive profiles run ten to twelve minutes. Your progress is preserved automatically within this browser tab.

How does membership work?

Every diagnostic and its full dimensional score breakdown are permanently free. Unlocking the complete written dossiers—covering your operational stance, relational dynamics, score synthesis, and strategic imperatives—is $8 a month, locked at that rate for as long as you remain a member. Cancel in a single click from your account before the next billing cycle; your current month stays open through its close.

How is my privacy protected?

In-progress responses remain in your local browser session until scored on our server. We never sell personal data or deploy third-party ad trackers. Completed portraits are anchored to your private archive when you sign in.

Can I recalibrate or retake an assessment?

At any time. Initiate a fresh sitting directly from your result dossier or from the diagnostic codex.
