TEST-YO!

Editorial policy

Our quizzes support reflection, not diagnosis. Each test explains its framework and limitations in its methodology. Entertainment is not presented as scientific evidence. To report an error or request a correction, email hello@dockialabs.com with the page and the text concerned.

Methodology

Frameworks we use

Some quizzes draw on the Big Five (Goldberg, 1993), RIASEC (Holland, 1959), Goleman’s emotional intelligence model (1995), Grit (Duckworth et al., 2007), or attachment theory (Mikulincer and Shaver, 2007). These inform our original design; they are not independent validation of our quizzes. Playful quizzes are for entertainment and conversation.

Item design

Question counts, response options, and duration vary by quiz. Some use agreement scales; others use choices with a correct answer. Where applicable, a question is scored in reverse. Each quiz description explains its format.

Scoring

Each quiz uses its own scoring rules and result descriptions; we do not claim every quiz reproduces a standard instrument. Progress is saved in your browser. Private result links contain encoded answers that the server processes to render the page. The 18+ partner match also processes answers on the server with explicit consent, without an answer database. See the privacy policy for details.

Review process

Our internal editorial review checks framework descriptions against cited sources, keeps claims appropriately hedged, verifies scoring logic, and checks source links. We will name external reviewers and credentials only when they can be verified.

What we are not

TEST-YO! tests are informational self-reflection tools. They are not clinically validated instruments, diagnoses, or professional assessments. For clinical, employment or educational decisions, consult a professional using validated instruments (NEO-PI-R, MMPI, Wechsler scales).
