About this test
A 24-item self-report quiz that maps you to one of six spending archetypes inspired by published "money script" research (Klontz et al. 2011): Saver, Spender, Investor, Status Buyer, Giver and Money Avoider. Each archetype is measured by 4 items on a 5-point Likert scale. The point isn't to grade you — it's to surface your underlying script so you (and your partner) can see why money feels the way it does.
Methodology
24 self-report items (4 per archetype) on a 5-point Likert scale. Inspired by published "money script" research (Klontz, Britt, Mentzer & Klontz 2011) — the six-archetype framing is a synthesis, not a single official instrument.

FAQ + disclaimer
Is this a real psychological framework?
It's inspired by published research on "money scripts" by Klontz, Britt and others (2011). The six-archetype framing is an accessible synthesis, not a single official instrument.
How is it scored?
Four items per archetype, rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Your highest-scoring archetype across the six types is reported as your dominant money type.
Can I share with my partner?
Yes — that's one of the most useful things to do with this. Two compatible types still benefit from naming the differences out loud.
