Frequently asked questions

How does the test work?+

You respond to a series of statements on an agreement scale. Your answers feed six independent dimensions (security, autonomy, the collective, boundary, recognition, trajectory), then the model assigns you to one of twelve archetypes, grouped into four families.

How long does it take?+

About four minutes. The test is taken in one sitting, with no prior registration.

Will the test tell me whether I should go freelance?+

No, and that is a deliberate refusal. Recommending a status to someone would be individual advice, regulated in several countries, and no four-minute questionnaire can support it. The report describes the conditions in which you function best; the decision depends on your trade, your market and your circumstances, about which the test knows nothing.

What is the model based on?+

On established objects: the decision latitude of Robert Karasek's demand-control model (1979), the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation from Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, the boundary between work and private life described by Christena Nippert-Eng (1996), and the boundaryless or protean careers of Michael Arthur and Douglas Hall.

Can my employer see my results?+

No. Your answers and your report are yours, are never resold and are passed on to nobody. No question is about your employer or your position in any case.

Are my answers confidential?+

Yes. They are used solely to calculate your profile and are never passed on to advertisers. No question is about health, income or employment situation.

How much does the report cost? Is there a subscription?+

The test and the preview of your results are free. The full report unlocks for €1.95. That payment also opens seven days of access to the member area, which brings together your full work report, the marked quizzes in the member area, their courses, and the new tests added. After that period, access continues automatically through a subscription of €29.95 per month, unless cancelled. You can cancel at any time.

How do I cancel the subscription?+

From your member area, in a few clicks, at no cost and with no justification. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for. The reports you have unlocked remain yours and stay available to read.
