How PSX Maps Your Creative Genius
A research-inspired approach to understanding your creative profile — not a clinical test, but a thoughtful creative exploration tool.
Take the Quiz (3 minutes)
Answer 12 questions across four creative dimensions — Domain, Process, Motivation, and Collaboration. You can also try an optional creative warm-up exercise that measures divergent thinking.
Each question maps to research-backed constructs from creativity science. We don't use copyrighted assessments — every item is original, inspired by validated frameworks.
PSX Maps Your Creative Patterns
Our system analyzes your answers to compute signal scores across all four pillars. These signals determine your Creative Archetype — one of 8 profiles that captures how you create.
Your archetype isn't a box — it's a starting point. We also identify your secondary archetype, top strengths, collaboration style, and growth edges.
Meet Your Ideal Collaborators
Based on your archetype, domains, and collaboration style, PSX recommends complementary creators. Great creative work happens at intersections — we help you find yours.
We match on complementary archetypes (not identical ones), shared domain interests, and compatible collaboration preferences.
Share & Connect
Your profile gets a permanent public URL you can share anywhere. When other creators see your profile, they can take the quiz too — building a network of creative connections.
Every profile includes your archetype, strengths, next steps, and the research behind the assessment. No account required to take the quiz.

Built on Creativity Research
PSX doesn't copy any copyrighted assessment. Instead, we use validated research constructs as inspiration and write original items that map to established creativity dimensions.
