Often analytical
96% Thinking, Ti 43.4, and DISC C 33 all point to logic-first processing.
Personal notes and projects
A few notes on how I tend to think and work.
I made this page mostly for fun: a collection of personality-test results, source material and a few projects I have been working on. It is only one incomplete view of me, but it gives the ideas a little more context.
A personal page, made for fun.
01 — Overview
A brief overview
Different tests use different labels. The sections below explain what each label is intended to describe and where the results overlap.
Attention follows perceived value
Pymetrics flags a bias toward tasks with the highest expected return for time invested.
Strong single-task focus
Strong single-task concentration; weaker fit for constant context switching and fragmented work.
Direct style, generally cooperative intent
I am not naturally inclined to smooth over every disagreement, while the behavioural results suggest I usually approach others with trust and fairness.
02 — Results
Results and what each label means
Each framework describes a different slice of behaviour. The definitions explain the intended meaning of the scores rather than treating any label as absolute.
16-type result
Near-balanced introversion; extreme intuition and thinking.
INTP-A
Introverted
52%
Intuitive
91%
Thinking
96%
Prospecting
64%
Assertive
54%
I · Introverted — 52%Usually recharges through internal reflection and smaller-scale interaction. This score is almost balanced, so it should not be read as strongly introverted.
N · Intuitive — 91%Prefers patterns, possibilities and underlying concepts over staying only with concrete details or established procedure.
T · Thinking — 96%Tends to judge ideas through logic, consistency and consequences before considering social harmony or emotional comfort.
P · Prospecting — 64%More comfortable keeping options open and adapting as information changes than locking everything into a fixed plan early.
A · Assertive — 54%Slightly more self-assured and less stress-reactive than turbulent, but the score is close enough to the midpoint that both styles may appear.
More defensible shorthand: xNTP, leaning INTP. The 52% I score is too close to the midpoint to treat introversion as absolute.
DISC
Precision first, stability second.
21D · Dominance
20I · Influence
26S · Steadiness
33C · Conscientiousness
D · Dominance — 21How readily someone takes control, challenges obstacles and prioritises speed or results.
I · Influence — 20How strongly someone relies on enthusiasm, sociability and persuasion to move people.
S · Steadiness — 26Preference for patience, predictability, cooperation and a stable pace.
C · Conscientiousness — 33Preference for accuracy, evidence, standards and careful evaluation before accepting a conclusion.
The order C > S > D > I suggests precision first, stability second, with less reliance on social enthusiasm. C does not mean being organised in every area; here it fits selective precision on work considered important.

What the eight function abbreviations mean
Ti · Introverted ThinkingBuilds an internally consistent model and tests whether the reasoning holds together.
Te · Extraverted ThinkingOrganises resources around measurable outcomes, execution and external efficiency.
Ni · Introverted IntuitionCondenses information into a likely underlying pattern or long-range implication.
Ne · Extraverted IntuitionGenerates alternatives, connections and multiple possible ways a situation could develop.
Fi · Introverted FeelingChecks decisions against personal values, authenticity and internal emotional alignment.
Si · Introverted SensingCompares the present with past experience, familiar methods and remembered detail.
Se · Extraverted SensingResponds directly to immediate sensory information, action and what is happening now.
Fe · Extraverted FeelingTracks group atmosphere, interpersonal expectations and what maintains social harmony.
Enneagram result
A motivation-oriented framework rather than an ability test.
5w4
Core type 5 · InvestigatorMotivated by understanding, competence, autonomy and conserving time or energy. Often prefers to observe and master a system before acting.
Wing 4 · Individualist influenceAdds a preference for originality, personal meaning and a precise identity rather than a purely conventional or utilitarian answer.
5w4 combinedUsually describes someone who wants both a rigorous explanation and an answer that feels independently reasoned rather than copied from consensus.
Likely watch-outCan overprotect time, remain in analysis too long or disengage from tasks that feel ordinary, socially performative or low-value.
This result describes a proposed motivation pattern; it does not measure intelligence, character or capability.
Pymetrics behavioural profile
Nine game-derived categories. Generosity, effort and focus were marked as the most distinctive.
01
Generosity
Tends to trust good intentions and balance personal interests with other people’s needs.
02
Effort
Allocates effort selectively toward tasks with the strongest expected return for time invested.
03
Focus
Maintains narrow, consistent concentration and filters distracting information effectively.
04
Attention
Methodical and restrained; generally prioritises accuracy over speed.
05
Risk tolerance
Tests options carefully and usually prefers the safest route to the objective.
06
Fairness
Usually perceives situations as fair and is relatively trusting of how work and resources are allocated.
07
Decision-making
Often chooses quickly through instinct before applying deeper verification when stakes justify it.
08
Learning
Initially favours familiar methods and changes approach after considering new evidence rather than immediately experimenting.
09
Emotion
Reads emotion heavily from facial expression, with a need to cross-check situational context.
Belbin team roles
Scored using the standard 10-points-per-section method.

2
Plant · naturalContributes original ideas, reframes difficult problems and explores less obvious solutions. Possible downside: ideas may be harder to communicate or may outrun practical detail.
Monitor Evaluator · naturalCompares options calmly, notices weak reasoning and judges proposals on evidence rather than enthusiasm. Possible downside: can appear detached or slow momentum while evaluating.
Shaper · availableCan create urgency, challenge delay and push a group through obstacles when action is needed. Possible downside: direct pressure can read as impatience.
Natural means the role is likely to appear spontaneously. Available means it can be used when the situation calls for it, but it is less automatic. Method: 10 points distributed within each section; values reproduced from the uploaded transfer table.
Four-colour test
A 16-item colour-based personality exercise.
5Red
5Blue
3White
3Yellow
Red · 5Direct, decisive, action-oriented and willing to challenge or take control.
Blue · 5Analytical, detail-conscious, quality-focused and more comfortable with a reasoned answer.
White · 3Patient, accommodating, calm and less inclined to force movement or conflict.
Yellow · 3Sociable, spontaneous, expressive and energised by interaction or novelty.
Result: Red–Blue tie. The test gives equal weight to pushing for movement and checking whether the solution is sound. In practice, that can look like directness followed by scrutiny: move the issue forward, but do not accept a weak answer merely for speed.
03 — Synthesis
What it probably means in plain English
Across the tests, a recurring pattern is curiosity about systems, preference for clear reasoning and stronger focus when the purpose of the work is visible.
I usually want to understand the system
I tend to learn more comfortably when I can see the mechanism beneath a process rather than memorising a sequence without context.
Ti 43.4 · Ne/Ni excellent · Plant 29I tend to prioritise by expected value
Work that appears important or consequential receives more attention. The risk is underestimating routine tasks whose value is less obvious.
Pymetrics effort · Enneagram 5 patternI value accuracy, but can overdo it
Methodical checking can reduce avoidable errors. The corresponding risk is spending too long polishing something that was already good enough.
Pymetrics attention · DISC C 33I am more comfortable testing an idea than smoothing over disagreement
I tend to question weak reasoning directly. That can be useful, but the wording and timing still need care.
Shaper 15 · Fe 17.8 · Thinking 96%Analytical, yet fast and intuitive
Pymetrics reports gut-led decisions. Likely pattern: rapid initial selection, followed by detailed verification when stakes justify it.
Direct communication, alongside trusting results
The tests suggest I may communicate directly while still tending to assume good intent and view situations as broadly fair.
Novel ideas, familiar execution
Strong ideation coexists with a preference for proven methods once execution begins. Exploration and implementation operate differently.
04 — Working preferences
A few working preferences
These are patterns I have noticed in myself, not instructions for anyone else.
Helpful conditions
- A clear outcome and freedom over method.
- Complex problems with measurable consequences.
- Long, protected blocks for single-task work.
- Permission to challenge the premise, not only execute it.
- A minimum standard for routine tasks, then aggressive prioritisation.
Things I need to watch
- Misclassifying an uninteresting task as unimportant.
- Over-analysing reversible decisions.
- Letting blunt phrasing obscure fair intent.
- Missing contextual emotional information by relying on facial cues.
- Staying with a familiar method after evidence supports a better one.
05 — Projects
Projects and working prototypes
I like automating mundane steps and experimenting with small productivity and learning projects. The previews below are genericised versions of the uploaded tools and design documents, using fictional data and simplified interactions so the ideas are easy to explore.

Featured working tool
Field prospecting
Prospect map and visit tracker
A map and account list for organising field-sales targets by location, fit rationale and visit status. The generic preview shows the central idea without the original account data.
- Search and filter by account, area or fit reason
- Track visited, unvisited and follow-up states
- Keep notes beside the mapped account
- Turn a long list into a practical route

Featured working tool
Tap-based diagnostic
Sales workflow leak check
A short mobile-first diagnostic that asks simple operational questions, estimates where follow-up may be leaking and returns a plain-language risk result. The original tool used nine taps; this page contains a shorter demonstration.
- No typing; one decision per screen
- Questions expose ownership, visibility and handover gaps
- Scoring converts symptoms into a simple severity level
- Result provides a starting point for a process discussion

Audio workflow
Long-recording transcription studio
A local interface for processing large recordings without forcing the browser to upload the entire raw file. It compresses and splits audio, uses a fast transcription model first, retries low-confidence chunks with a stronger model and preserves segment timestamps.
- Folder-path mode for very large recordings
- Compression and chunking before API upload
- Quality check with automatic model fallback
- Transcript plus timestamped segments JSON
- Optional speaker diarisation when configured

Decision engine
Assessment routing engine
A deterministic framework that maps a concept to a suitable practice format based on what the learner must do in the real world. The later version narrows the MVP to tap-only formats and short completion times.
- Routes facts, processes, judgments and conversation moves
- Adjusts format by difficulty
- Prefers two or three options for mobile use
- Keeps the full item under roughly 30 seconds

Design system
Question-design rules
A versioned set of rules for producing short sales-judgment questions that feel closer to real calls than to textbook quizzes. The later version adds compressed buyer language and commercial-safe labels.
- Test application rather than isolated recall
- Use one clear decision point
- Keep context necessary and distractors plausible
- Prefer two or three parallel options
- Avoid trivia, trick wording and corporate LMS language

Generation prompt
Tap-based practice-item generator
A structured generation prompt that turns sales notes, playbooks or transcripts into short practice items. It extracts the smallest transferable decision rule, selects a tap-based format and uses generic public labels rather than source-specific framework names.
- Extract a compact concept atom
- Choose a suitable assessment format
- Create original scenarios and plausible alternatives
- Optimise for low reading effort and real-call transfer
- Keep labels reusable for future commercial use
