The Quiz Suite
Eleven Assessments
Calibrated against the published clinical norms. Written by an author with the diagnosis the Cluster B half of this suite is built to detect.
Pick a starting door. The Dark Mirror is the wide map; the rest are calibrated reads on a single axis. None of them diagnose; all of them tell the truth more usefully than the binary will.
Curious what everyone else scored? The Dark Mirror Index is the live population: curves, bands and percentiles from every take, updated daily.
