How It Works

How It Works

From a question to a clearer picture

Choose something you want to understand, answer a structured series of questions and explore the patterns reflected in your responses.

Start with something you genuinely want to understand

Many people arrive with a question they have been turning over in their mind: “Am I still in love with my ex?”, “Am I a people pleaser?”, “Am I overthinking everything?” or “Am I emotionally unavailable?”

Those questions may sound simple, but the feelings and behaviours behind them are often more complicated. That is why our assessments look at different aspects of a question rather than trying to reduce everything to one simplistic label.

The aim is not to tell you who you are. It is to help you notice patterns that may be worth understanding more clearly.

The Process

Four simple steps

Each assessment is designed to take you from a broad question to a more detailed picture of the patterns in your responses.

1

Choose your question

Start with the assessment that feels most relevant to what you are thinking, feeling or trying to understand.

2

Answer honestly

Respond to a short series of questions about your thoughts, feelings, reactions, preferences or behaviour.

3

Your answers are analysed

Your responses are scored across the different dimensions designed for that particular assessment.

4

Your pattern comes together

The different parts of your responses are brought together to show which themes appear strongest, which are less prominent and where your answers may be mixed.

More Than a Score

Why we look at different dimensions

Human emotions and behaviour rarely fit neatly into one percentage.

Someone wondering whether they still love an ex, for example, may show strong emotional attachment and nostalgia while also showing signs of acceptance. Another person may want to reconnect while feeling less romantic attachment than they expected.

Looking at several dimensions can reveal those differences and provide a more useful starting point for reflection.

Example

Am I Still in Love With My Ex?

Emotional Attachment: Strong

Nostalgia: Very Strong

Romantic Feelings: Mixed

Desire to Reconcile: Low

Example only. Individual patterns vary according to the answers given.

Personalised Interpretation

Understanding the combination of your responses

The aim is to explain the patterns in your answers in clear, everyday language.

Different areas may stand out at different strengths. Some may point in a similar direction, while others may appear more mixed.

Seeing those patterns together can provide a more detailed picture than a single overall score.

Your Responses

More context around your answers

Depending on the assessment, several different parts of your response pattern may be considered together.

Overall pattern

The broad direction reflected across your responses.

Individual dimensions

A closer look at the separate themes measured by the assessment.

Mixed responses

Areas where different parts of your answers do not point in exactly the same direction.

Reflection points

Questions and observations that may help you think more closely about your own experience.

How It Is Created

Structured scoring first, personalised explanation second

The underlying scores and dimensions are calculated by the Inner Thought Group assessment system according to the scoring structure designed for that assessment.

Artificial intelligence may then assist with explaining those calculated results in personalised, plain-language wording.

AI does not decide your underlying assessment scores. Its role is to help turn the calculated pattern into a clearer written interpretation.

What to Expect

Thoughtful, simple and easy to use

Short assessments

Most assessments are designed to be completed in just a few minutes.

Clear questions

Questions are written to be straightforward and easy to respond to.

No judgement

The aim is understanding, not shame, certainty or unnecessary labels.

Individual patterns

The combination of your responses matters more than forcing everyone into the same simple answer.

Personal questions deserve careful handling

Many assessments involve personal thoughts, feelings and experiences. Inner Thought Group is designed with privacy-conscious handling of assessment information.

More information about how information is processed, including our use of OpenAI for personalised wording, is available in our
Privacy Policy.

What these assessments are not

Inner Thought Group assessments are intended for education and self-reflection.

They are not medical or psychological diagnoses, and a result should not be treated as confirmation that you have, or do not have, a particular mental-health condition.

If you are concerned about your mental health, wellbeing or safety, consider speaking with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
