Open sourceAbout this site
A small educational website with a transparent review process
We help adults make sense of their answers and choose a useful next step. Our editorial team prepares the NPI-16 quick test, the FFNI-SF deep assessment, answer-linked reports, and practical guides. We aim to explain difficult patterns clearly and without reducing a person to a score.
What we publish
- A fixed, source-linked NPI-16 form with a 0–16 raw score.
- The published 60-item FFNI-SF with all 15 facets and their answer evidence.
- An information-only guide to the HSNS while item-use rights and review are pending.
- Personal report explanations, optional life context, local saved practices, and seven practical learning guides.
- Links to professional-help and crisis resources for situations a website cannot assess.
What we do not claim
- The cited researchers are not represented as members, advisors, reviewers, or authors for this site.
- No university, psychology association, or standards body is represented as a partner or endorser.
- We do not publish an accuracy percentage, user count, fabricated review score, or certification badge.
- The current assessment implementation has not completed independent professional review.
Editorial and implementation process
Content is prepared by the site editorial team. Research authors are cited only for their publications. Until a qualified independent reviewer signs off on a defined scope, pages state that professional review is pending.
Step 1
Start with an identifiable source
Record the publication, form, scoring method, version, and unresolved rights questions before implementation.
Step 2
Separate evidence from product copy
Do not turn a raw score into a diagnosis, severity level, percentile, or promise that the source does not support.
Step 3
Test the implementation
Lock item order and scoring, reject invalid answers, and test minimum, maximum, mixed, missing, duplicate, and restored results.
Step 4
Publish review status honestly
Name a reviewer only after their identity, qualifications, scope, date, and approval can be verified.
Current review status
- NPI-16 implementation
- Implemented locally; rights and professional review pending
- HSNS questionnaire
- Not published; guide only while rights and review are pending
- FFNI-SF implementation
- Published form and researcher’s scale-use statement documented; independent professional review pending
The FFNI-SF scale-use basis is documented on the researcher’s assessments page. Our practical report prose is editorial material, not a new validated scale. Jurisdiction-specific legal review and independent review of the implementation have not been completed.
