How reliable is a short self-assessment?
It depends on how well the questions on each pattern agree: a short test trades some precision for speed, so read its result as a first sketch, with its confidence level.

Guides for reading and using a result.
Plain guides to what a Persona result says, how it is worked out and what to do with it, from the Anslation Editorial Team.
Start here
Two pages to read before you trust any short test: how far a self-assessment goes, and every rule Persona scores by.
Method
How Persona works out a result
Every rule a result follows, with the numbers the scoring code uses.
All guides
Grouped by where you are: before a test, with a result in hand, practising and sharing, or with a team.
Before you take a test
Choosing a test for your goal
Pick the test whose question matches yours: start from what you want to understand about your work, then check what it looks at and how long it takes.How reliable is a short self-assessment?
It depends on how well the questions on each pattern agree: a short test trades some precision for speed, so read its result as a first sketch, with its confidence level.
Reading your result
How to read your Persona result
Read it pattern by pattern: your position on each pattern's own scale (0 to 100), the band that names that stretch, then how much the result rests on. Where a pattern names two ends, neither end is better.Patterns, not types: why Persona doesn't label you
Persona does not label you because a type throws away detail and personality differences are mostly a matter of degree: a result keeps your position on each scale instead.
Practice and sharing
Turning a result into practice
Turn a result into practice by choosing one pattern or skill, planning the moment you will act on it, and repeating one small step in that moment.Sharing a result safely
Share one result at a time, only when you choose and only with the people you mean: the link shows your headline and a band per pattern, never your answers or positions.
