Understand yourself properly.
The twenty-question card reads five traits from twenty answers. This asks one hundred statements, about fifteen minutes, scores all ten traits against other men, and confirms or corrects your archetype. The report says what each trait costs, what it buys and whether it moves, with the paper attached.
What it measures
Five traits, each split in two.
The card reads all five from four answers each. The full run asks ten a trait, and it splits every one of the five into the two parts the research found inside it. The trait where you sit furthest from the male median deals your archetype; the second one is your spec.

- Withdrawal How quickly doubt and worry set in.
- Volatility How fast your mood moves and how hard it is to hold.

- Compassion How much other people’s feelings pull at you.
- Politeness How much you avoid pushing people around.

The items are the Big Five Aspect Scales from the International Personality Item Pool, public domain. Your report shows your percentile on each of the ten against the published norms of 892 men. A mixed-sex sample puts a man in the wrong place on seven of the ten.
