About TypeFit

What we're building

TypeFit is the Academic Pathways Assessment: a measured profile of how a student engages with academic work, mapped transparently onto the majors and pathways where that profile tends to thrive. It is built as a longitudinal measurement system — baseline before 9th grade, re-assessment each year — because students develop, and a plan should develop with them.

What we believe

• Identity is free; guidance is the product. Your TypeFit code and dimension profile will always be free. The Fit Report — the actionable layer — is free during beta and will be a clearly priced one-time report after. No subscriptions, no bait-and-switch.
• Honesty is a feature. Every report states what the assessment does not measure and where a top match may stretch the student. Trust is built by printed limitations, not marketing claims.
• Instruments should improve. Versioned scoring and retained responses mean TypeFit gets more accurate with every administration — the discipline of published psychometric method, applied continuously.

Where we are

TypeFit is in beta. Version 1 of the instrument (8 dimensions, 48 counterbalanced forced-choice items, CIP-mapped pathway catalog) is live. Pathway profiles and benchmark ranges are expert-set and provisional; empirical recalibration begins as the response corpus grows. The methodology page documents the design and its current limitations in full.
