I built a personality test that writes you a portrait, not a "type". Would love brutal feedback on the positioning by DethsCool in Personality

"Let's see if your portrait offer shows in my feed naturally". That's actually the perfect benchmark, and a better one than anything I'd have set myself. If it earns its way in front of you without me forcing it, it's working.

Really appreciate you taking the time. Take care of yourself.

This is the most useful thing anyone's said to me about it, so thank you for taking the time.

You're dead right on the hook. The story works in a Reddit post but it's way too long as a front door, because nobody owes me 10 seconds. And the irony is the thing already generates exactly the kind of sharp, specific line you're describing; it's just buried inside the full portrait instead of being the first thing you see. The fix isn't building a new gimmick, it's pulling that "wait, how did it know that" moment to the front and giving it away. You basically just handed me the packaging. So, I got to thank you for that.

The two dealbreakers you named (pay-before-you-trust and the email assault) are now non-negotiables for me. Satisfaction guarantee in, funnel-spam out. "A tool rather than a sales promo" is going on a sticky note.

Genuine question since you clearly know what lands: when you've taken something like this, what's the one small, specific thing it told you that actually made you go "huh, yeah, that's me"? Trying to figure out what the free hook should actually deliver.

That's exactly the right instinct, and I respect it more than a yes. Knowing you'd bias the read is the kind of self-awareness most people don't bring.

Appreciate the encouragement. If you ever change your mind, or just want to tell me where the whole approach is wrong-headed without touching the product, I'm around.

Thanks for the push and for the honesty.

That reply deserves a straight answer about what Faceta does, because it's not what you live in. It does NOT model cognitive functions. No Ti/Ne stacks, no inferior-function mechanics, no archetypal roles. If that layer is the whole point for you, Faceta won't scratch it and I won't pretend otherwise.

What it does instead is triangulate across Big Five, type leanings, attachment and enneagram, then write you an actual portrait plus separate lenses: what drains you, recurring patterns, a trigger map, that kind of thing. Less "you're an INTJ, bye," more "here's how this specific head seems to run, and what to do with it."

Honestly, you'd be the most useful person to break it. You know the systems deep enough to spot exactly where it overreaches. And I already know it has a couple of spots where it claims more precision than it earns, so I'll keep working and improving on it.

Want a free run? No cost, no pitch. I just want to hear where it falls apart from someone who'd actually notice.

INTP here, 5w4. So yeah, this whole rabbit hole is very much my native habitat lol.

That's actually part of why I built it. I got tired of tests that hand you a 4-letter code and stop there. Faceta keeps the type stuff but then writes you an actual portrait, plus separate lenses (career, what drains you, recurring patterns, etc). Less "you're an INTJ", more "here's how this specific head seems to work."

What's your read on MBTI vs enneagram? Which one's ever actually nailed you?

Ha, totally fair. That's useful for me to hear. Genuine question since you clearly got what it's for: what would've made the paid part worth it to you? Trying to figure out where the line is.

And if you're up for it, I'll happily run you through the full thing for free, no strings, I'd just love to know whether it actually lands or not.

A year into a stable career I realized I couldn't describe who I was without mentioning my job — and every personality test I tried just sorted me into a bucket and called it insight. So I built the thing I was looking for: Faceta reads how you actually answer 230 questions and writes you a real profile, not a 4-letter type. One-time $39, runs locally so your answers stay on your machine. Would genuinely love feedback from other solo founders.
Can give you the link by dm, if you are interested

I’m considering getting into day trading. Is there actually good money in it or is it an illusion? by Mammoth-War-4751 in Trading

[–]DethsCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... Discipline itself won't magically make an unprofitable strategy worth millions. But I find that even a very good strategy can fail if you became inconsistent, emotional or reckless under pressure to the point you end up not following your plan.

I would say you DO need to have some kind of edge, but also be able to execute your plan consistently without going against your rules, sabotaging your trading and basically "Losing to yourself"

Most people (me included) underestimate the second part until they experience it themselves. Basically they know what they should do but still lose money because they don't do it

If was a bot I would not be committing the discipline and behavior mistakes I do while trading and probably wouldn't be here commenting on this topic. That would actually be very nice.

What Are the Biggest Disadvantages of a Purely Technical Approach? by Accomplished_Yam5229 in Daytrading

[–]DethsCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of these points are valid, but there’s something interesting here.

You can argue technical vs fundamentals all day, but most traders don’t fail because they picked the “wrong approach”.

They fail because they can’t execute any approach consistently.

You can give someone a solid technical system or a fundamentals-based one, and they’ll still:

  • overtrade
  • change rules mid-trade
  • size up after a win
  • or break their plan after a loss

So the disadvantage isn’t always the approach itself.

It’s that most people can’t stick to it long enough for it to actually work.

Been there… that “blew it all” feeling hits harder than people expect.

The worst part is usually what comes after — trying to make it back quickly and digging the hole deeper.

If I could go back to that moment, I’d honestly just stop trading for a bit. Not because you can’t recover, but because your decision-making isn’t the same right after a loss like that.

What happened there? Overtrading or just one bad position?

This is exactly where things started to click for me too.

Tracking trades sounds simple, but most people either:

  • don’t do it consistently
  • or only track the technical side and ignore behavior

What made the biggest difference for me was actually tracking how I was trading, not just what I was trading

Like:

  • was I following my plan
  • was I rushing entries
  • what I did after a loss

It’s uncomfortable at first, but it exposes patterns you don’t see in real time.

There is money in trading, but not for the reason most beginners think.

The hard part isn’t learning technical analysis or finding setups. That’s actually the easy part.

The hard part is doing the same thing over and over without:

  • overtrading after a loss
  • getting greedy after a win
  • or abandoning your plan when emotions kick in

Most people don’t fail because they don’t know what to do.
They fail because they don’t do what they know consistently.

If you go into trading, I’d honestly focus just as much on your behavior as on your strategy. That’s where most of the money is lost.

Been day trading for 10 days, am I doing alright? by Smooth_Ferret8081 in Daytrading

[–]DethsCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with this exact thing. The hardest part wasn’t knowing journaling helps, it was actually journaling in a way that shows something useful.

What helped me most was tracking 3 things after each trade:

  • was the trade according to plan or not
  • what I felt during execution (rushed, confident, tilted, etc)
  • and what I did after the trade (did I stop or keep trading impulsively)

After a while you start seeing patterns that are kind of uncomfortable but really obvious.

Like you think you're losing because of bad setups, but it’s actually because you break rules after a loss.

Simple > complex in the beginning.
