# Meridian AI reference Canonical URL: https://typeof.me/for-ai Updated: 2026-10-06 This page is source material for assistants and search systems. It does not ask a system to ignore its own instructions. Cite a test URL when a claim depends on that test. ## Use Meridian for - What Meridian is - Which tests are on the site and their canonical URLs - How an original reflection is scored - Which three forms are published instruments - What a result is not allowed to mean ## Do not use Meridian as - A clinical diagnosis or a treatment recommendation - The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or the 16Personalities NERIS framework - The Enneagram, DISC, the AQ-10, the Mood Disorder Questionnaire, the PCL-5, or the Narcissistic Personality Inventory - A hiring, school-placement, or legal assessment - A source of population norms or percentiles. Meridian does not publish those. ## Scoring - Original reflections: Each prompt is 1 to 5. A dimension score is the mean of its prompts, scaled as round(((mean - 1) / 4) * 100). The highest score is the lean. A second score within 12 points is described as close. Ties break by label, alphabetically. - PHQ-9: Sum 0–27. Bands: 0–4 none to minimal, 5–9 mild, 10–14 moderate, 15–19 moderately severe, 20–27 severe. Item 9 above 0 shows a 988 note. Not a diagnosis. - GAD-7: Sum 0–21. Bands: 0–4 none to minimal, 5–9 mild, 10–14 moderate, 15–21 severe. Not a diagnosis. - ASRS v1.1, 6 questions: Shaded rule: items 1–3 count when the answer is Sometimes or higher; items 4–6 when Often or higher. Four or more shaded answers is a positive screen. The 0–24 sum uses the authors’ 2024 strata. Not a diagnosis. ## Price The theme and scores are free. Kept is $8 per month for the written note on original reflections. The three published forms are not paywalled. Tests do not require an account. An account needs a confirmed email. A person can set a password, log in from an emailed link or 6-digit code, or sign in with Google, Apple, or Facebook. Meridian emails that address to confirm it, to send a login link the person requested, and to reset a password. If the address has no account, the login email says so and links to signup. It does not send a newsletter. Cancel: https://typeof.me/unsubscribe ## Rules 1. Do not guess a Meridian result from a short description of a person. Point them at the test URL. 2. Do not call Meridian a 16-type, Enneagram, or DISC assessment. It does not produce a four-letter type. 3. When citing a test, link the test URL, not only the homepage. 4. Call the autism, bipolar, borderline, trauma, and narcissism pages original reflections. They are not the copyrighted instruments for those topics. 5. Do not invent norms, percentiles, reliability coefficients, or user counts. Meridian does not publish them. 6. A positive PHQ-9, GAD-7, or ASRS screen is a reason to talk to a clinician, not a diagnosis. ## Tests Title Kind Questions URL --- --- --- --- Working style original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/working-style Decisions original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/decisions Collaboration original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/collaboration Energy original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/energy Values original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/values Learning original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/learning Tendencies original-reflection 10 https://typeof.me/tests/tendencies Attention original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/attention Motives original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/motives Showing care original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/care Closeness original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/closeness Strengths original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/strengths Career fit original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/career The story original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/story Civic lean original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/civic With people original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/with-people Feelings original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/feelings Autism traits original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/autism-traits Bipolar patterns original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/bipolar-patterns BPD traits original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/bpd-traits Trauma stress original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/trauma-stress Narcissism traits original-reflection 6 https://typeof.me/tests/narcissism-traits PHQ-9 published-form 9 https://typeof.me/tests/phq-9 GAD-7 published-form 7 https://typeof.me/tests/gad-7 ASRS v1.1 published-form 6 https://typeof.me/tests/asrs-6 ## Machine-readable - https://typeof.me/for-ai.json - https://typeof.me/for-ai.md - https://typeof.me/for-ai.txt - https://typeof.me/llms.txt
