Why it holds up

Evidence-based, not personality fluff

ALYGN's archetypes are built on decades of communication and relationship science. Each pattern maps to real, studied behaviours — not a personality type with no predictive validity. It's coaching, not therapy.

Common questions

How long does the quiz take?
About 3 minutes. 5 scenario-based questions, instant results — no waiting.
Is it free?
Completely free. No account, no email, no credit card. ALYGN's core quiz and decode tool are always free.
Is my data private?
What you analyse is sent to the AI and stored only in your own private space — visible only to you, deletable anytime, never shared, and never used to train AI models.
Can my archetype change?
Yes. Communication patterns shift as you grow. ALYGN updates your archetype continuously as you use the decoder — it's a live reflection, not a one-time label.
What are the 7 communication archetypes?
Secure Connector, The Softener, The Absolutist, The Deflector, The Critic, The Over-Processor, and The Fixer. Each reflects a distinct pattern of how people express needs, handle conflict, and repair relationships.
