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.

If your scores sit between two archetypes, more than one can be a close match.
