The scoring is intentionally simple: thirty questions feed fifteen dimensions, then the result matches the nearest archetype pattern with two special-case overrides.
BRTI is not trying to hide behind mystery math. The site works because the scoring is legible enough to explain and opinionated enough to feel like a product, not a spreadsheet wearing glasses.
Below is the actual shape of the model as it exists in the codebase today.
The quiz has thirty prompts total. Each dimension gets two prompts, and each answer option contributes a score from 0 to 3.
That means every dimension ends with a raw score between 0 and 6. The dimensions cover self-image, attachment, attitude, action, and social presentation.
Each raw dimension score is converted into a three-level signal: 0 to 2 becomes low, 3 to 4 becomes mid, and 5 to 6 becomes high.
Those fifteen low-mid-high signals create the user's pattern vector, which gets compared against the standard BRTI archetype patterns.
Each standard archetype has a fixed fifteen-slot pattern. BRTI measures the distance between the user's pattern and each archetype pattern, then picks the closest match.
If two matches are close, the engine also looks at exact dimension matches and similarity percentage so the ranking stays stable and explainable.
Two outcomes are special cases. If the quiz trips a high enough public-breakdown signal, the result becomes LIVE regardless of the standard match.
If the best standard match is still too weak, the result becomes GLCH. That is the system admitting the pattern does not fit cleanly inside one normal type file.
The result page is the fast, shareable hit that appears right after the quiz. It is built for immediate recognition, screenshots, and compare-mode follow-through.
The type page is the slower reference page. It explains the archetype in a more durable way so readers and search engines see a real content page instead of only a post-quiz endpoint.
BRTI can tell you which fictional file your answers resemble most. It cannot diagnose you, predict your future, or replace actual context about your life.
The model is useful when it gives you language for a pattern. It becomes useless when you turn it into destiny, self-excuse, or a hiring rubric.
