About the methodology

This test combines several scientific approaches to personality study. The Big Five model (OCEAN) is the most validated taxonomy of personality traits with thousands of supporting studies.

Mayer and Salovey's emotional intelligence theory describes the ability to recognize and manage emotions. Peterson and Seligman's VIA classification identifies 24 character strengths grouped into 6 virtues.

Schwartz's basic values theory (2012) adds motivational dimensions. The combination creates a multidimensional personality portrait covering cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects.
