How is an archetype decided?
Forty-eight questions measure six factors — Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness — and we calculate which of the 22 archetypes your combination is closest to. Two people with the same archetype still have different scores, so your result also shows the factors that stand out in your own scores. If your scores sit between two archetypes, more than one can be a close match.
