More Than 16

You're not a type.
You're a pattern.

This clarity diagnostic tool reveals the hidden pattern running your decision-making in the background when focus breaks down.Built for high-functioning, high-achieving humans who look perfect on the outside and are slightly spiraling on the inside.We’re still building the full diagnostic. But the early access list is open for high-achieving humans who want to understand their collapse pattern...and change it.

When clarity breaks, your patterns take over.You’re competent. High-functioning. You’ve probably taken every assessment out there: Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, Enneagram. Maybe others.You know your type.
You know your strengths.
And still, you find yourself overthinking. Saying yes when you meant no. Falling into cycles of second-guessing, avoidance, or burnout.You try to push through it.
You plan more, journal harder, tell yourself to “get clear.”But that pressure pattern, the one that hijacks your decision-making the moment things get hard, keeps coming back.
It’s predictable.
And exhausting.More Than 16™ isn’t a personality assessment. It doesn’t label you. It doesn’t tell you who you are.It shows you what you do when your internal system breaks, and how to stop letting that behavior run the show.These patterns aren't labels.
They are behaviors: what you do when clarity collapses... and they can change.Because you are more than sixteen types, five traits, or nine coping styles. You are a system in motion.More Than 16™
You’re not a type.
You’re a pattern.
Let’s map yours.

Why I Built This

I built More Than 16™ because brilliance without clarity is a slow-motion collapse.For years, I've coached high-functioning, high-achieving people who do everything "right" until their inner systems quietly fell apart. I've also led messy, painful organizational interventions where brilliant people's patterns sabotaged real change.These people weren’t broken.
They weren’t lazy.They were brilliant.
Overthinking. Overgiving.
Drowning in their own strengths.So I went looking for answers.
Degrees. Certifications. Frameworks. Manuals. Assessments.
If it promised clarity, I studied it.And every single time, the patterns showed up.
Different names. Different labels. Same sabotage underneath.So I built something that cuts through the noise.
Fast. Accurately. Almost painlessly.This isn’t another personality quiz pretending to hand you a label.
It’s not about who you are.
It’s about what you do when your internal system starts glitching under pressure.More Than 16™ is a mirror.
It shows you your habits, your avoidance, your coping strategies - before they cost you clarity again.

Where This Came From

More Than 16™ draws from the world’s best psychological frameworks - not to type you, but to map the adaptive behavioral patterns that emerge when clarity collapses.It pulls from:

  • Jungian typology: the original psychological pattern spotter

  • Self-Determination and Basic Psychological Needs Theories (Deci & Ryan)

  • Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: stripped down for real-world pressure

  • Strengths theories under strain

  • Stress theories: Cannon, Selye, and the science of how humans break under pressure

  • Cognitive-Behavioral models: Beck, Ellis, and how thought patterns drive behavioral loops

  • Stress loops and coping patterns

  • Talent and organizational development theory, adapted for the individual, not the institution

Mostly, it’s built from hundreds of hours spent with brilliant people trying to "figure it out" while quietly falling apart.It’s grounded.
It’s honest.
It’s descriptive.You won’t get a label.
You’ll get a reality check
