Friends tell you what they see. An identity report tells you what is actually there.
Rooted is a self-understanding tool, not a mental health service. If you need clinical support, please contact a qualified mental health professional.
The people who know you well have a particular view of you, and it is valuable. But it is also limited by what you have chosen to show them, by the role you play in their lives, and by what they want for you. An honest self-assessment has none of those filters. It asks you questions no friend would think to ask and returns a picture that is based on your own answers rather than someone else's perception of who you are.
How they compare
- Gives you their perception of who you are
- Filtered by the role you play in their lives
- Shaped by what they want for you, not just what is true
- Valuable but partial and not always honest
- Based entirely on your own answers, not others' perceptions
- No filter of roles, history, or social expectation
- Structured questions that surface things friends would not ask
- Private, written, and yours to interpret

The honest answer
Talk to the people you trust. And do the assessment. What you learn from each will be different, and both are worth having.
“Showing a report card of where you actually stand, and where to focus more, it gives a sense of caution to self.”
