A field guide to your responses.

Counterbalance brings together eight profiles to help you reflect on the patterns in your responses.

Every profile has a place. Complementary profiles have independent scores, so both can be strong in your picture.

Will I get a single personality type?

Your report shows all eight profiles and their complementary relationships. It describes your responses, rather than assigning you a fixed identity or ranking your character.

Is the assessment free?

Yes. The assessment and your report are free. You can start as a guest; you’ll need to create a free account or sign in to see your results.

What should I know about these questions?

These candidate questions have not been independently validated. It is a tool for reflection, not a diagnosis or prediction. Your report explains how scores are calculated and describes the limits of the assessment.

What will you discover about yourself?

Bring your curiosity. There’s room for the whole you.
