A blueprint, not a horoscope

Archetype
One of eight research-anchored archetypes — always as a gradient (“68% Architect, 21% Scholar”), never a box. The label narrates your dimensional scores; it does not replace them.
Dimensions
Six trait percentiles — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Emotional Stability, Honesty-Humility — each drawn with its uncertainty band, because a point score without error is a small lie.
Distillation
How you think, act, decide and what you value — plus blind spots and a trust blueprint grounded in the strongest finding in integrity research.
Confidence
How carefully you answered — your pace, your consistency, any signs of rushing — rolls into a stated confidence in your own blueprint. We tell you when not to trust us.

Compatibility, purpose-specific

“Are we compatible?” is an incomplete question — compatible for what? A blueprint produces a share code; exchange codes with a partner, cofounder or colleague and Prismona reads the pairing against the evidence for that purpose: partner effects for romance, complementarity and trust gates for founding teams. You receive a fit gauge, your strengths as a pair, and the three frictions most worth a structured conversation — with the conversation included.

What we refuse to claim

Personality shapes real outcomes — modestly. And the best research on couples found that how partners see each other predicts more than either partner's traits do. So we will not predict your marriage, your startup, or your worth. We measure carefully, show our uncertainty, and structure the conversations the numbers point to.
