What Is 16 Insecurities?
A satirical take on personality testing that focuses on your shadow side—the uncomfortable truths you'd rather not think about.
The Concept
You know those personality tests that tell you you're a "visionary leader" or "empathetic healer"? The ones that make everyone sound like a superhero with minor quirks?
16 Insecurities takes a different approach. We focus on the uncomfortable truths, the shadow sides, the things you already know about yourself but try really hard not to think about.
It's self-deprecating humor meets personality psychology. Think of it as a roast of yourself, backed by a framework that's just scientific enough to feel uncomfortably accurate.

The Spirit of the Thing
At its heart, 16 Insecurities is about self-acceptance through humor. We all have flaws, blind spots, and coping mechanisms that range from "mildly annoying" to "how does anyone put up with me?"
Traditional personality tests often sugarcoat everything. You're not "stubborn," you're "determined." You're not "avoidant," you're "independent." It's very polite, but it's not always helpful.
We think there's value in laughing at yourself, in acknowledging your less flattering qualities with a wink rather than a wince. If you can laugh at your insecurities, they lose a bit of their power over you.
