Kelly repertory grid
Psychologist George Kelly believed each person sees the world through their own “constructs”: pairs of opposites such as “kind – cold” or “reliable – unpredictable”. The repertory grid helps you see which constructs you actually use.
You will name people from your life, compare them in threes and rate each of them on the traits you found. Names and answers stay in your browser only.
Who is in your life
Type a name or initials for each role. If nobody fits exactly, use the closest person. Names stay in this browser only.
What this test can’t tell you
The grid does not judge people or diagnose anything: it shows the words you yourself use to think about people. The measures here are simplified compared with research software; a full grid analysis is done together with a psychologist.
