Frequently asked questions

Is this a psychological assessment?

No. It is a reflective prompt, not a diagnosis or clinical tool.

Can I use it when distressed?

Keep the reading gentle and seek qualified support when distress is severe or persistent.

What question works best?

Ask about one recurring response, belief or choice you can observe in yourself.

Can I use Grand Etteilla 1857?
