Evidence boundaries

Research & Limitations

Clarity about what a framework cannot establish is part of responsible design. This page will change when the method changes—not merely to create a fresh date.

Not scientifically validated

The Energy Archetype questionnaire has not been psychometrically validated. It has no published reliability, construct validity, or predictive validity evidence.

Self-report limitations

Answers are influenced by mood, context, self-perception, cultural expectations, and how each option is interpreted.

No diagnostic use

The result cannot diagnose mental or physical health conditions and must not replace care from a qualified professional.

No deterministic prediction

The framework does not establish future events, compatibility, career suitability, financial outcomes, or a fixed life path.

No employment use

Do not use a result for hiring, promotion, performance evaluation, insurance, lending, or access to essential services.

No dataset claims yet

We have not published a “global archetype distribution” report because the site does not yet have a documented, representative dataset.

What would justify a data report?

Minimum publication standard

  • Real sample size and collection dates
  • Countries, languages, and recruitment sources
  • Duplicate and bot filtering method
  • Consent and de-identification process
  • Selection bias and missing-data discussion
  • Reproducible scoring version

How to use this framework responsibly

Use your result to generate a question you can test through observation. Compare it with feedback from people who know you in different settings. Keep what is useful, revise what is incomplete, and discard what does not fit.

For a validated psychological assessment, consult a qualified professional and ask what evidence supports the instrument being used.
