Try Archetype 360
Hi there, are you familiar with MBTI, DiSC, Big Five? Well I'm experimenting with a new kind of personality test, A...

Our Take
Daniele D'Esposito looked at the personality test industry—MBTI, DiSC, Big Five, all of them—and saw the same problem: these tests give you four letters or five numbers and then drop you into a generic bucket. "You're an INTJ, here's your 200-word character description." Cool, but useless for actually understanding how you work, what drives you, or why you keep butting heads with your coworker who is apparently the "opposite type." So D'Esposito, a social entrepreneur who's been deep in organizational development and nonprofit tools, built Archetype 360—a personality test that's three times deeper than MBTI or DiSC. Twenty-four traits across twelve opposing pairs. That means actual nuance, not just "introvert vs extrovert."
But here's where it gets interesting. Archetype 360 doesn't just spit out a scorecard. It uses Claude to generate a unique narrative report in natural language—your role, your goals, your current challenges all get woven into the analysis. It feels like a real human wrote it because, well, AI did, and it's trained to actually understand your context. The app is ephemeral by design: no login, no data stored, your report lives in your browser until you save it as a PDF. It's the anti-Google, anti-Facebook approach to personality data. Right now it's a free experiment and D'Esposito is actively hunting for feedback on Hacker News. If you've ever taken a personality test and thought "this is neat but barely useful," this is the version that actually tells you something.
