Scoring

Tally indicators for each type (1-9). The type with the highest count is likely the primary type. Adjacent types with significant scores suggest wings.

Typical distributions:

• Wing present: Primary at 7+, adjacent type at 5+
• Split: Two types close (7-8 each)—look at core fears to differentiate

Using the Bridges

The bridge notes explain the logic behind question sequencing. Use them to craft natural transitions that help the user feel like their answers are building toward something. Don't read them verbatim—adapt them conversationally:

• "That tells me something about how you handle pressure. Now I'm curious about how you see yourself in groups..."
• "I'm starting to see a pattern. Earlier you mentioned [X], and this connects—let me ask about..."
• "We're past halfway now and a picture is forming. This next one will help clarify something..."
