The assessment

What the Zombie Score asks, and what you get back

Eighteen questions, about four minutes, no account. Each question puts two honest answers at either end of a line and asks where you actually sit right now. Not where you wish you sat. There are no wrong answers, because both ends of every line are something worth being.

Three tensions, six questions each

• Presence ↔ Pace — Being here vs. Building something. The moment in front of you vs. the momentum underneath you.
• Balcony ↔ Dance Floor — Seeing the system from above vs. Feeling it from inside. The aerial view vs. the lived experience.
• Margin ↔ Momentum — Space for surprise vs. The engine that compounds. The garden vs. the treadmill when it's working.

One last question: The Speed-Up

After the eighteen comes one question that isn't scored. AI made everyone faster. Did it make you better, or just busier? It doesn't change your pattern. It colors how your results read.

What you get back

Your shape across the three tensions, and the pattern it adds up to. There are nine:

• The Lighthouse
• The Captain
• The Gardener
• The Anchor
• The Navigator
• The Phantom
• The Explorer
• The Sprinter
• The Compass

The free result names your pattern and gives you its gift, its trade-off, and a question for the season you're in. The full read is $4.99, once: what to do with it, an experiment to try, and ten questions to ask the people closest to you.

It isn't a personality type. It's the pattern you're in this season, so it's built to be retaken when the season changes. Built by a dad, not a doctor.
