Frequently Asked Questions & Assessment Details
What does the How Strong Are Your Boundaries? measure?
How Strong Are Your Boundaries? evaluates your disposition across key dimensions: Boundary Permeability, Assertive Boundary Setting, Emotional Differentiation, Enmeshment Resistance. It maps responses onto a standardized 2D Cartesian plane to identify your exact archetype sector.
How is my standpoint coordinate calculated?
Responses on a 5-point Likert scale are weighted using balanced zero-sum question loadings to prevent acquiescence bias. Raw scores are normalized to continuous coordinates between -1.0 and +1.0 along two orthogonal axes.
Is my test data stored or tracked on servers?
No. Standpointly uses 100% client-side execution. Your responses never leave your browser, require no account registration, and are never saved to external databases.
How does 2D coordinate mapping compare to 1D binary test scores?
