## A type read from behaviour

PsycheAI reads your type from what you do, not from answers to questions, and says how clear each letter is: slight, moderate or clear. A slight letter means you sit near the middle, and that is useful to know too.

MBTI is a trademark of The Myers-Briggs Company. PsycheAI is not affiliated with it and this is not its instrument.
