About PRISM

PRISM (Personality Research & Insight Synthesis Machine) is an advanced personality assessment platform that synthesizes multiple validated psychological frameworks to create the most complete picture of who you are.

Our Mission

We believe that understanding yourself is the foundation for personal growth, better relationships, and a more fulfilling life. But most personality tests only show you part of the picture—one framework, one perspective, one lens.

PRISM was created to change that. By synthesizing multiple validated frameworks, we provide insights that no single test can offer. We show you not just what type you are, but why you think, feel, and behave the way you do—and how different aspects of your personality connect.

Our goal is to make the depth and richness of personality psychology accessible to everyone, presented in a way that's both scientifically grounded and personally meaningful.

Our Approach

Traditional personality tests measure a single framework—you get 4 letters, or a number, or a style. But those frameworks often measure the same underlying constructs through different lenses. The Big Five captures broad traits, MBTI reveals cognitive preferences, the Enneagram illuminates core motivations, and Attachment Theory explains relationship patterns.

PRISM takes a different approach. By measuring multiple frameworks simultaneously and synthesizing the results, we can:

  • Cross-validate findings to increase accuracy
  • Detect inconsistencies that reveal nuance
  • Provide confidence scores for each result
  • Generate insights that emerge from framework combinations
  • Build a richer, more complete understanding of personality

The Science Behind PRISM

Validated Frameworks

PRISM integrates measurement approaches from established instruments in personality psychology:

  • Big Five / OCEAN: The gold standard in personality research, with decades of cross-cultural validation. Measures Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism, plus 30 specific facets.
  • MBTI Cognitive Functions: Rather than just typing you into one of 16 boxes, we measure your preferences for each of the eight cognitive functions.
  • Enneagram: Captures core motivations and fears that drive behavior, including wings and instinctual variants.
  • Attachment Theory: Based on decades of research into how early relationships shape adult patterns of connection.
  • DISC: Behavioral style assessment widely used in workplace settings.
  • Love Languages: How you give and receive affection in relationships.
  • Personal Values: What matters most to you and guides your decisions.

Psychometric Standards

We take measurement seriously. Our assessment approach follows established psychometric principles:

  • Reliability: Items are designed for internal consistency and test-retest stability
  • Validity: Framework measurements correlate with established instruments
  • Response Quality: We include checks for inconsistent or careless responding
  • Transparency: Confidence scores tell you how reliable each result is

Appropriate Use

PRISM is designed for self-understanding and personal growth, not clinical diagnosis. We encourage using results as a starting point for reflection, not as definitive statements about who you are. For mental health concerns, please consult a qualified professional.
