Most personality tools tell you what type you are and leave you there. Icosa shows you the geometry of who you are — twenty dimensions, hundreds of metrics, and a personalized path forward that updates as you grow.
The overall shape of your personality system — a geometric portrait of how your capacities and domains are currently organized, from one of 75+ named formations.
Nine structural positions in your profile where change produces the biggest ripple effects. Open gateways accelerate growth. Closed ones are your highest-leverage starting points.
A single integration score (0–100) that captures how well your twenty dimensions are working together as a system — and how that changes over time.
A personalized growth plan derived from your specific geometry — not generic self-help, but targeted strategies based on what your profile actually shows.
Quick (10 questions, ~2 minutes) for a fast read. Standard (32 questions, ~5 minutes) for a full profile. Comprehensive (91 questions, ~15 minutes) for depth that reveals behavioral patterns from how you answer, not just what you answer.
Explore →Your twenty centers resolve into a named formation — a structural portrait of your personality as it currently stands. Formations describe patterns of activation and suppression across the grid, not fixed types. They can shift as you grow.
Explore →Seven centering strategies — including gateway activation, momentum building, and stability anchoring — are applied to your specific profile to produce a prioritized, personalized growth path.
Explore →Every assessment you take becomes a data point in your longitudinal trajectory. Smart Retake delivers 10–15 targeted questions between full assessments to capture movement without starting over.
Explore →Nine named positions — Body, Grace, Choice, Voice, Belonging, Feeling, Discernment, Identity, Vitality — are structural leverage points in your profile. Your report shows which are open, which are closed, and what that means for your next steps.
Explore →The honest question is worth asking. You have probably taken MBTI, maybe the Enneagram, possibly the Big Five. Each gave you something: a type, a number, a four-letter code. What most of them did not give you was a way to see yourself change — or a specific answer to the question of where to actually start.
The difference with Icosa is structural rather than categorical. Instead of assigning you to a predefined type, it maps your personality as a geometry: twenty centers arranged across four Capacities (Open, Focus, Bond, Move) and five Domains (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Relational, Spiritual). Each center has an activation level. Each has relationships to adjacent centers. From that structure, the system computes over 300 metrics — coherence, formation, gateway status, trap patterns, and a centering plan — in under a millisecond.
The result is not a label to file yourself under. It is a map specific enough to show you exactly where you are and where movement is most likely to happen.
From your twenty centers, Icosa derives a formation — a named geometric portrait of how your personality is currently organized. Formations like the Poised, the Withdrawn, or the Strategist describe patterns of activation and suppression across your grid, not fixed character types.
This distinction matters. A type implies a stable truth about who you are. A formation describes where you are right now — which means it can change. As you grow, your formation shifts. What was suppressed can open. What was dominant can soften. The formation is a starting point for understanding your structure, not a ceiling.
Most self-improvement advice is undifferentiated: practice gratitude, set boundaries, exercise more. Useful in the abstract, but not calibrated to your specific profile.
Icosa’s gateway system changes that. Nine structural positions in your grid — Body, Grace, Choice, Voice, Belonging, Feeling, Discernment, Identity, Vitality — have elevated cascade potential relative to adjacent centers. When a gateway is closed, movement there produces ripple effects across the whole system. When a gateway is open, it is already doing its job as an amplifier.
Your centering plan identifies which gateways to target first, in what order, and why. The specificity is the point. Instead of a general program, you get a targeted path based on your actual geometry.
Self-improvement without measurement is effort without feedback. Icosa’s timeline tracks every assessment as a timestamped data point — formation evolution, coherence trend, gateway activation changes — so you can see structural change accumulating over time, not just feel it.
Smart Retake selects 10–15 questions most likely to detect meaningful movement in your specific profile. You do not retake the full assessment every time; you take a targeted probe calibrated to what your profile needs to resolve next. The trajectory builds automatically, and your centering plan updates to reflect where you are now.
Growth is not linear, and it is not always obvious from the inside. The timeline makes it visible.
