INDEX THE INNERMOST

A portrait of you from what you aren’t saying.

First, a given personality model is assumed which by no means is — or can be — ‘proven’ other than be popular enough to attract funds for its academic ‘research’ (and, infrastructure development). At this point, it could be fairly called a philosophy of mind, but it would lack the necessary aura of authority for proper implementation in the mainstream culture.

Then, a test is being constructed with the rigour of statistical and methodological consistency that incidentally remains invisible to the unauthorized, but most of all, the tested recipients.

Lastly, basing on a set of common biases regarding self-evaluation, a certain array of acknowledged properties is distributed into categories, reasonably assisted with some precautions that may happily serve as guidelines for those who would wish to adhere and apply the typology in their (otherwise ‘undirected’) lives.
