Core Idea

Traditional personality tools assign a label. Cognify tries to understand the pattern behind the label.

It takes user responses, maps them into behavioral dimensions, detects inconsistencies, calculates confidence, and generates a structured report with narrative insights.

Current Capabilities

• User authentication flow
• Assessment question fetch from backend
• Trait scoring engine
• MBTI and archetype mapping
• Contradiction analysis
• Rich result generation
• Historical comparison across attempts
