Nobody is one innovator.
You are all five: Researcher, Designer, Maker, Promoter, Manager. What makes you distinctive is the proportion. First you guess your own mix. Then fifteen questions, about four minutes. Then you see both, side by side.
How it works
Your guess, then three passes
First, your own guess. You set the five yourself, on sliders, before you see a single question. It is locked away until the end, then shown against the result. The gap is the point.
Pass one, 10 statements. How true each one is of you. Two per innovator, one about what drives you and one about what irritates you, because irritation is the more honest signal. This measures each innovator on its own, so a person can be strong at several.
Pass two, 4 forced choices. Four situations, and in each you pick the most and least like you. Nobody can be top of everything here. This is what separates a real signature from wishful thinking.
Pass three, your own words. One thing you made or ran that you are proud of. The language you reach for is read for signal and used to break ties.
Scoring runs entirely on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no API key involved.
What you will not get
A box. The result is never "you are a Maker". It is a mix, five numbers, with a primary and a secondary that emerge from the numbers rather than replace them. Your mix also moves: run it again in six months of different work and expect it to shift.
What do you think you are?
Set the five as you see yourself today. Drag a bar, or tap a number and type it. The five always add up to 100.
Why guess first
Your guess is the second half of the result. The instrument tells you your mix; the gap between the two tells you where you do not see yourself clearly, which is the more useful number.
It is locked before question one and hidden until the end, so it cannot quietly steer your answers. Answer on instinct anyway, not to prove yourself right.
