Ask for decisions, not flattering self-descriptions
Personality tests often invite users to describe who they wish they were. TT16 instead presents twenty concrete trading situations—uncertainty, drawdown, disagreement, timing—and asks what the user would do next.
The result is not investment advice. It is a compact mirror for decision habits.
Four axes, sixteen legible styles
The scoring model organizes answers across four behavioral tensions. Their combinations produce sixteen named styles, each explained through tendencies, strengths, blind spots, and reflection prompts.
The full path takes roughly three to five minutes:
- enter without creating an account;
- answer twenty scenario-based choices;
- receive the complete report in the browser;
- export a 1:1 or 9:16 result card for sharing.
Scoring, answer storage, and report generation stay local in the free version. That privacy decision also makes the experience fast to try and easy to audit.
Two deployments, two honest promises
| Surface | What it proves | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| Free static experience | The complete assessment, report, and export flow | No signup and no server-side answer storage |
| Commercial architecture sandbox | Worker, D1, order states, and a paywall-shaped journey | Mock payment only; it never creates a real charge |
Keeping these surfaces separate avoids pretending that a payment integration exists when it does not. It also lets collaborators inspect the commercial state machine without risking a transaction.
The boundary is visible
TT16 does not forecast returns, connect to a broker, or tell someone what to buy. Its language and report structure focus on behavioral reflection. The product’s job is to make patterns easier to notice—not to turn a playful typology into financial authority.
