Frequently Asked Questions & Assessment Details
What does the How Do You Make Big Decisions? measure?
How Do You Make Big Decisions? evaluates your disposition across key dimensions: Rational Analytical, Intuitive Experiential, Consensual Collaborative, Decisive Pragmatic. 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?
Traditional tests force complex human tendencies into binary dichotomies. 2D coordinate mapping preserves nuance and tension between complementary traits, locating your precise position within 9 analytical archetype sectors.
