How these references shaped the site

The public quiz catalogue prioritizes Big Five, HEXACO, 16-style preferences, Enneagram, work collaboration, and relationship attachment because those areas appear across major public quiz libraries while remaining suitable for non-diagnostic self-reflection. The site avoids clinical claims, crisis advice, hiring decisions, and hidden data collection.
