Reality Types maps recurring patterns in how you make sense of information, create stability, and adapt through change.
48 statements. Free results. No account required. Educational self-reflection, not a diagnosis.
Your map is the fuller result. The type name is a reference point, not a permanent identity.
The Reality Map
Your result is more than a type name. The nine separate scores show the pattern behind it.
Illustrative only
These numbers are an example, not a personal result. The 0–100 scale is not a percentile, grade, or population norm.
The midpoint is the middle of the response scale. It is not a population average.
Each score stands on its own; the scores do not have to add to 100. Higher means more characteristic in the responses, not better, healthier, or more mature.
Sensemaking
Two routes to understanding, plus how consistently they appear to work together.
Reflective and experiential routes are not opposite ends of one slider.
Stability
Structure and adaptation are scored separately, then their coordination is scored separately too.
You can be structured and adaptive at the same time. The scores do not have to add to 100.
Identity development
Continuity and revision are measured separately, along with how consistently they appear to integrate.
A higher score means more characteristic in your responses, not better, healthier, or more mature.
What you receive
The assessment does not hide your scores behind a purchase. The paid guide adds interpretation, application, and retake context.
Free result
The free result is complete and usable on its own.
Optional deeper guide
It does not unlock hidden scores. Your nine-score map remains the primary result.
Interpretation
All nine scores are compared with 12 versioned reference profiles. The closest becomes the primary reference. The next two are nearby resonances: other reference patterns your map resembles.
A pair is not forced into a single either/or axis. That creates more than one useful pattern within each domain.
Using the illustrative map above, the closest reference pattern is not presented as an identity verdict.
Reference patterns
The names make recurring profile shapes easier to discuss. Your individual scores remain more informative than the name alone.
Planning to take the assessment? You may prefer to complete it before reading every pattern so the descriptions do not influence your answers.
These are public reference-pattern guides, not your personal saved map.
Trust + methodology
Reality Types is rule-based and versioned. That makes the computation reproducible, but it does not make the framework clinically validated or certain about who you are.
The current instrument is rt-48-2026-08-04-v1. RS, EC, SA, AR, CP, and TR each use six statements. BS, FS, and ID each use four. Some statements are reverse-keyed before scoring.
Responses use a 1–6 scale. The mean for each score is linearly converted to 0–100.
The current scoring model is rt2-archetypes-1.0. Matching uses weighted root-mean-square distance across all nine scores.
So all nine scores contribute, but the six mode scores currently carry somewhat more matching weight than the coordination scores.
Clear: best distance ≤ 23 and lead over second place ≥ 5.
Close: lead over second place ≥ 2.75 when the Clear rule is not met.
Broad: other profiles where no reference pattern separates enough under those rules.
The current engine flags low differentiation when the response pattern is unusually uniform, including cases where one response is used for at least 75% of items, the same answer runs for 18 or more items, or response standard deviation is below 0.55.
This is a quality flag, not a diagnosis or statement about the person.
Why DLTER?
Reality Types grew from some of the same broad questions DLTER explores: information, observation, stability, and change. Reality Types is a separate human-scale self-reflection framework with its own constructs, scoring, and evidence requirements.
DLTER is a physics research program. Reality Types is not derived from DLTER field equations, and a Reality Types result cannot test or validate DLTER physics.
Evidence supporting DLTER would not automatically validate Reality Types. Evidence supporting Reality Types would not validate DLTER. The connection explains where some design questions came from, not why an assessment claim should be believed.
Interpretation rule
Recognition alone is not proof. Compare the interpretation with recurring examples from your own life, try a low-risk experiment, and revise the interpretation when the evidence does not fit.
Limits
The framework is meant to make patterns discussable, not to turn a score or type name into false certainty.
Common questions
The short answers cover cost, interpretation, retakes, Blueprint access, and the evidence boundary.
Yes. The assessment and complete nine-score Reality Map are free. No account is required to view the result. Creating or using an account is optional if you want to save the map to My Library.
Yes. The paired modes are scored separately, so both can be high, both can be low, or one can be more characteristic than the other. The coordination score is also calculated separately.
Your full map is compared with all 12 reference profiles. The closest becomes the primary reference, while the next two are retained so close neighboring patterns remain visible rather than being hidden behind one label.
No. The free result is complete and usable on its own. The Blueprint is an optional one-time guide that adds deeper interpretation, application exercises, a 30-day plan, and saved-map comparison context. It does not unlock hidden scores.
Yes. Reality Types is not framed as a permanent identity. Responses can change with experience, context, and how you understand the statements. A retake is most useful when you compare the maps rather than treating one result as the permanent truth.
No. Reality Types is an educational self-reflection framework. It is not a clinically validated personality test, diagnosis, therapy, medical advice, or a tool for high-stakes decisions. DLTER supplied conceptual inspiration, not clinical authority.
