How it works

Every question is a forced choice between two equally-valid options. This design deliberately avoids agree/disagree scales (which invite "yes-saying" and socially-desirable answers). Each dimension is measured by several items in varied formats, and your answers are aggregated into a continuous score — the letter code is just a friendly summary of those scores, never the other way around. Raw responses are stored so the instrument can be refined with real data over time.

Built on the test-construction principles in Paul Kline's Handbook of Test Construction: defined constructs, response-set control, item analysis, reliability, and validity.
