Icosa Atlas gives solo therapists a 20-center personality profile with behavioral signals, longitudinal tracking, and clinical documentation tools — HIPAA-compliant and built around how clinical work actually unfolds.
When a client comes back as an ENFJ or a Type 4, you get a category — not a structure. The clinical questions that actually matter (where is the rigidity, what is the pattern of avoidance, where is the leverage for change) are invisible inside a type label. Icosa maps personality as a 20-center geometric system, not a taxonomy.
Every practitioner knows that how a client answers a questionnaire can be as clinically interesting as what they answer. Standard assessment tools discard that behavioral layer entirely. Icosa captures 23 behavioral signals during the assessment itself — response latency, revision patterns, engagement trajectory — and surfaces them in your clinician portal.
A single assessment is a snapshot. Longitudinal work requires longitudinal data: trend detection, changepoint analysis, momentum projection. Most assessment tools were not designed for the time scales of actual therapy. Icosa was.
Assessment in one tool, notes in another, session analysis somewhere else. Icosa consolidates: client management, five-type clinical notes, session transcript analysis, SOAP note generation, and multi-reporter consensus live alongside the assessment data that generated them.
Every assessment produces a complete 4x5 grid: four Capacities (Open, Focus, Bond, Move) by five Domains (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Relational, Spiritual). Over 300 computed metrics per profile, including coherence score, formation classification, gateway identification, and trap detection. Computation runs in under a millisecond.

Confidence scales with tier: Quick (0.30), Standard (0.70), Comprehensive (1.00). Signals surface in your clinician portal as a validity layer alongside the self-report profile.
Learn more →Every assessment your clients take becomes a timestamped data point in a trajectory. Trend detection, changepoint analysis, momentum projection, and resilience measurement are computed automatically. Smart retake targets the 10-15 questions most likely to reveal change — no need to re-administer the full instrument.
Learn more →Five note types (general, clinical, session, progress, intake) with three visibility levels (clinician-only, client-only, shared). SOAP note generation from full profile data. Session transcript analysis accepting up to 200,000 characters with automatic PII scrubbing — transcript discarded after processing, analysis saved.
Learn more →Complete clinician-perspective assessments alongside self-report data. The system integrates both into a consensus profile and computes a Self-Awareness Index (0–100) that quantifies where client self-perception diverges from clinical observation. Blind spots become visible data, not just clinical impressions.
Learn more →Every client profile is matched against 169 named clinical archetypes with associated DSM codes, severity ratings, coherence bands, and characteristic patterns. Classification uses a six-layer evaluation — structural, contextual, demographic, life event, behavioral, and living situation — with ranked confidence scores and contradiction detection.
Learn more →Send an email invitation from your clinician portal. The client accepts through their personal dashboard — no new account required if they already have an Icosa profile. You gain access to their assessment history with appropriate access controls. The client controls visibility and can revoke access at any time.
Your client completes an assessment at whichever tier fits the clinical context: Quick (10 questions, ~2 min) for a rapid check-in, Standard (32 questions, ~5 min) for a solid baseline, or Comprehensive (91 questions, ~15 min) for the fullest clinical picture. You complete your own clinician-perspective assessment in parallel. Behavioral signals are captured automatically during both sessions.
Session by session, you accumulate a longitudinal record: assessment trajectories, clinical notes, session analyses, SOAP documentation, and persona evolution. As the client's profile shifts, the timeline surfaces what changed, when it changed, and how the momentum is moving. Structured data compounds across time the same way clinical understanding does.

Most personality instruments answer the question “which type are you?” Icosa asks a different question: “what is the geometry of your personality?” The difference matters clinically.
The 20-center grid maps personality across four Capacities — Open, Focus, Bond, Move — by five Domains: Physical, Emotional, Mental, Relational, and Spiritual. Each center has an activation level, a directionality, and a relationship to every neighboring center. From that structure, the system computes over 300 metrics: a coherence score, formation classification, gateway identification, trap detection, basin analysis, and more.
What a type-based assessment calls “introverted” the Icosa grid distinguishes into specific combinations of reduced Open-Relational, elevated Focus-Mental, and suppressed Move-Social — patterns that suggest different clinical presentations and different therapeutic leverage points. The resolution is not higher for its own sake. It is higher because the clinical questions worth asking require it.
Icosa is a personality assessment tool, not a diagnostic instrument. It does not produce DSM diagnoses, and its results are intended to inform clinical thinking, not replace it.
A client who rates themselves as emotionally calm but hesitates consistently on every emotion-related question is giving you two data streams that do not agree. Standard assessments give you one of them.
During every Icosa assessment, 23 behavioral signals are captured invisibly across five categories:
These signals appear in your clinician portal as a validity overlay alongside the self-report profile. A client who answers monotonically at high speed may be rushing; the signals flag that for your interpretation. A client who slows consistently on Relational domain questions is showing you something about those centers that their stated answers alone cannot convey.
Signal confidence scales with tier: Comprehensive assessments produce the richest behavioral data because 91 questions provide the space for patterns to emerge. Quick assessments are fast precisely because they produce fewer signals — the tradeoff is transparent.
The clinician-perspective assessment is not an alternative to the client’s self-report. It is a second data source. When both exist, the multi-reporter system integrates them — along with any other-reporter data — into a weighted consensus profile.
The output includes a Self-Awareness Index (0–100) that quantifies divergence between the client’s self-perception and what external perspectives observe. A high SAI means the client sees themselves roughly as you see them. A low SAI means there are perception gaps — which are clinically informative in themselves. Blind spots surface as data, not inference.
The side-by-side comparison view renders self-report and clinician-report profiles simultaneously, with a differential analysis that shows exactly which centers diverge, by how much, and in which direction.
Most therapists find Icosa slots cleanly into existing intake and ongoing assessment workflows:
Intake: Complete a Comprehensive clinician assessment before or after the first session. Use the text interpreter to sketch a provisional profile from your intake observations, then compare it to the client’s self-report once they’ve completed their own assessment. Run persona classification to identify which of the 169 clinical archetypes fits the profile — each carries treatment-relevant annotations.
Ongoing sessions: Use Smart Retake (10–15 targeted questions) every few sessions instead of full reassessment. Paste session transcripts for structural analysis when a session surfaces material worth mapping. Add session notes with appropriate visibility — some for the record, some to share with the client.
Tracking progress: The longitudinal timeline accumulates automatically. Changepoint detection flags when a client’s trajectory shifts. Formation evolution is tracked across assessments. When a client who entered with a Distressed formation moves toward a Complementary one, that geometric shift becomes a concrete clinical landmark alongside your qualitative observations.
The goal is structured data that compounds the same way clinical understanding does — richer at session 20 than at session 2, without requiring you to maintain that richness manually.
