What people ask
What does the quiz actually tell me?
It places you in one of four decision archetypes based on how you move under pressure: Mover (push-dominant), Holder (hold-dominant), Releaser (release-dominant), or Shifter (reads the situation and adapts). The Shadow OS app then places you in 1 of 64 named archetypes and tracks how the pattern shifts over 30 days.
How long does it take?
About 90 seconds. Seven questions, one per screen. The quiz auto-advances when you pick an answer, so your only job is reading and tapping.
Is this a personality test?
No. Personality tests ask you to describe who you are. This quiz asks how you actually behave when a decision lands. The four archetypes are behavioral defaults under pressure — the direction you move when you don't stop to think about it — not identity labels.
Will you email me a bunch of stuff?
You'll get one email with your archetype result and the link to the Shadow OS app. We don't send daily wisdom, daily horoscopes, or promotional noise. You can unsubscribe anytime from that first email.
What app helps with decision-making patterns?
Shadow OS is a decision-making app built on the I Ching — the oldest decision system in human history. It gives you one clear directive: Push, Hold, or Retreat, plus a Jungian shadow warning that names the unconscious pattern most likely to sabotage your next move. The app tracks your decisions over time so you can see the archetype underneath them.
