MBTI tells you your personality type. An identity report tells you where your life is actually working and where it is not.
Rooted is a self-understanding tool, not a mental health service. If you need clinical support, please contact a qualified mental health professional.
MBTI and similar personality frameworks give you a label: a four-letter code that describes how you process the world. They are useful for self-recognition. What they do not do is tell you what is misaligned in your life right now, or what to do about it. An identity report goes further: it maps six concrete dimensions of your life and gives you a personal written analysis of where you stand in each one.

The honest answer
Personality tests tell you what kind of person you are. An identity report tells you how that person is actually doing. Use both if you want: MBTI for understanding your nature, Rooted for understanding your current state.
“Showing a report card of where you actually stand, and where to focus more, it gives a sense of caution to self.”
