Will you enjoy working this way?
The way we work suits some people enormously and leaves others cold, and it’s much better to find that out now than after you’ve paid us. Twenty-eight questions, seven readings, and an honest answer in either direction.
Nothing here reads how capable you are or how much philosophy you’ve encountered. There’s no cleverness on the scale and nothing is being graded.
People want very different things from a conversation and all of them are legitimate. Answer as you actually are rather than as you think you should be, or this is worth nothing to either of us.
No percentage, no personality label. You’ll get seven readings and, more usefully, the places where two of them pull against each other.
One thing we’ve done on purpose: we’re not telling you what this is getting at until you’ve answered it. Knowing what a question is looking for is the fastest way to stop answering it honestly, which is a well documented problem with instruments of this kind. The full explanation is waiting at the end of your result, and you’re welcome to read it and take the whole thing again.
An honest caution before you start: this is a bespoke fit diagnostic informed by established research constructs, not a validated psychological instrument, and we’d rather say so than dress a questionnaire in psychometric language. Treat the result as the opening of a conversation, not a verdict on you.
Seven dimensions, each running from 0 to 100. The shape matters more than any single point, and the shape is what we’d talk about.
There is no good shape. A wide even heptagon and a lopsided star are both perfectly workable people; they just want different things from a conversation. What we read is where it pulls in and where it reaches.
Each dimension runs between the two readings named underneath its bar. A short bar sits toward the left-hand one, a long bar toward the right. Neither end is the good end.
The useful part. Not what each dimension says on its own, but what happens where two of them disagree, because that’s what you’d actually feel in the room.
| Our name for it | What it draws on |

Bring this to a first conversation. The disagreements are the most useful part: if a reading looks wrong to you, that’s worth saying, and it usually tells us more than the reading did.
If the reading suggests we’d work well together, the next thing is a conversation that costs nothing. If it suggests we wouldn’t, we’ll happily point you somewhere better.
