Best for

  • Couples comparing personality profiles
  • Coaches wanting a cheap paid Big Five assessment

Not for

  • Anyone happy with free Big Five tests like 16Personalities or Truity
  • Hiring or team-screening decisions — it is a personal report, not an assessment program
  • People wanting follow-up coaching; you get a static one-time report
  • Clinical or therapeutic diagnosis needs
