Freelance or employee: what is your work archetype?
The proprietary Civix™ model places your preferred working conditions on six dimensions and assigns you to one of twelve archetypes, grouped into four families. No career advice, no recommendation about status.

Twelve relationships to work, four families
Each profile has its own ideal working conditions. None corresponds to a status, and yours is not always the one you think.
The Anchored
A clear framework, and we go far.
The Self-Directed
Deciding for yourself, mistakes included.
The Team Players
Alone you go fast, and then what?
The Wayfarers
What comes next will be decided when it turns up.
Where do you stand next to them?
The Civix™ model places every profile on the same six dimensions, including those of characters everyone knows.

The Team PlayersShe builds every project around her team, gathers everyone before deciding, and keeps binders on what each of them is good at.
Fictional characters, assigned to a family on the strength of their story, as a landmark. They remain the property of their rights holders and are cited on that basis alone. No real person is classified here, not even a well-known executive: their relationship to work cannot be established from the outside.
How a profile is established
Each theme measures its own dimensions and describes its own profiles. The protocol that establishes them meets the same requirements throughout.
- 01
You answer
A series of statements, one answer each time, on a scale of agreement. About four minutes.
- 02
The model places your answers
Each answer feeds six independent dimensions. Your position on each is compared with that of other respondents.
- 03
You receive your profile
The profile you are closest to among twelve, the family it belongs to, and what sets you apart from it.

The Methodical Builder
Sample report
In your report
You work better when the ground is stable and the direction known: you know where you want to be in five years and your decisions serve that course. That consistency builds an expertise that zigzag paths do not obtain. It has its flip side: an unforeseen change of direction is expensive, and it takes time to recognise that a course is no longer the right one.

Understand before deciding
Shortage occupations, a constructed indicator
People speak of a shortage as soon as an employer struggles to recruit. Statistics nevertheless distinguish hiring intentions, job vacancies and labour market tightness, which do not measure the same thing.

Employee or self-employed, a boundary drawn by the courts
A person's status depends not on what their contract says but on the conditions under which they work. Digital platforms have put this old rule back at the centre of debate.

When reward reduces the desire to act
A series of experiments showed that a reward could diminish interest in an activity people already enjoyed. What this result means for paid work has been the subject of a long disagreement.
