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 fall 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. Grounded. Behavior-first.This isn’t a personality quiz or a type.
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.
Sounds Familiar?
You’ve taken the assessments. You know your type. You know your strengths.And still, you overthink.
Maybe you say yes when you meant no.
Perhaps you spiral into second-guessing, avoidance, or burnout.You try to journal your way out.
You make better plans.
You try to “get clear.”But the pressure pattern that hijacks your decision-making the moment things get hard keeps coming back.It’s not a mindset problem. It’s not about motivation.It’s behavioral.
It’s predictable.
And it can change.More Than 16™ doesn’t label you. It doesn’t type you. It shows you what you do when your system glitches under pressure, and how to interrupt the loop.Because you are more than sixteen types, five traits, or nine coping styles.
You are a system in motion.

The Science Behind the System
More Than 16™ integrates psychological theory and real-world behavioral data to explain what actually breaks down when high-functioning people lose clarity under pressure.Our science-backed framework draws from:🧠 Behavioral & Cognitive Models- Cognitive-behavioral models – Beck, Ellis, and how distorted thoughts drive behavior- Stress loops & coping patterns – the cyclical nature of collapse- Strengths theories under strain – how overused strengths become liabilities💥 Stress & Needs-Based Theory- Stress models – including Cannon, Selye, and the science of physiological overwhelm- Maslow’s hierarchy of needs – stripped down for real-world pressure- Self-Determination & Basic Psychological Needs Theories (Deci & Ryan)🔍 Personality & Systems Theory- Jungian typology – the original psychological pattern spotter- Talent & organizational development theory – adapted for the individual, not the institutionMostly, 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.
What We Mean By "Pattern"
When we say "pattern," we’re not talking about personality traits. We’re talking about the sequence of behaviors you tend to run when clarity breaks down.It’s the mental and emotional loop you fall into under pressure, decision fatigue, or internal conflict. Unlike static labels, patterns are dynamic — and they can be observed, understood, and changed.This is the missing piece most self-awareness tools don’t cover: not just who you are, but what you do when things start to unravel.You're not a type.
You're a pattern.
