Description
Hi there, are you familiar with MBTI, DiSC, Big Five? Well I'm experimenting with a new kind of personality test, Archetype 360, and I'd love for you to try it for free and tell me what you think.- 24 traits across 12 opposing pairs -- that's three times more dimensions than MBTI or DiSC, so you get a much more nuanced profile. - A unique narrative report generated with AI (Claude), written in natural language instead of generic type blurbs. - Your role, goals, and current challenges are blended into the analysis, so the report feels relevant to your real‑life context, not just abstract traits.It's an "ephemeral app" so your report only lives in your browser, there's no login, and we don't store your data. Make sure you save the report as a PDF before you close the page.What I'm looking for is honest feedback on your archetype and report:- Did it feel accurate and "wow" or just meh? - Did you learn anything unexpected about yourself? - What did it miss or not go deep enough on?I'll use your feedback to refine the prompts and the underlying model. Just comment here or use the feedback form in the app.If there's enough interest, the next step is to combine Archetype 360 with a variation of Holland Codes / RIASEC (vocational interest areas) to create a full‑power professional orientation report.What else would you love to see? Ideas welcome!Best wishes, Daniel

Discussion
9 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator), Holland Codes / RIASEC (vocational interest areas), Hogan personality assessment
Concerns raised: Report feels AI-generated and generic, not personalized enough, Questions use good vs bad framing instead of balanced positive/negative trait versions, Dimensions may overlap and lack independence validation, No validation data yet (needs 500-1000 uses minimum), Unclear if dimensions are high-entropy or have predictive value
Feature requests: Improve report personalization by better using free text input, Reframe questions to avoid good vs bad formulation, Shorten test by reducing questions and trait pairs
