Methodology

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. Directional boosts blend with trait-derived signals to resolve structural profile outputs.

Quality Controls

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