Methodology

How RADIX computes structural profile outputs from trait and directional data.

Scientific Grounding

RSP is built from established personality and motivation research, then operationalized as a structural orientation instrument. It measures current configuration, not fixed identity.

Psychometric Backbone

The trait backbone uses HEXACO-derived items from the public-domain IPIP pool: Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience.

Dual-Format Design

Experiential Likert items and forced-choice movement items capture both stable disposition and directional orientation.

Scoring Architecture

Trait scores are normalized and weighted through a movement matrix to produce Root, Rot, Reach, and Reform composites. Forced-choice responses are used to refine directional estimates and improve interpretive precision.

Quality Controls

Response timing and consistency checks flag low-quality administrations. Confidence reflects movement score separation.

Validation Status

Validation is active and transparently staged. Claims are intentionally bounded to current evidence, with full details in the whitepaper.

These pages explain the system. The assessment is where the profile begins.
