Have you ever wondered why you keep reacting the same way — even when you know better?

What you can't see about yourself.

Most self-reflection tools confirm what you already believe about yourself. The Blind Spot Index reveals what you can't. It surfaces the deeper psychological patterns shaping your decisions, your relationships, and your behaviour — without you even realising it.

Notice yourself reacting more intensely around certain people?
Feel like someone important in your life just doesn't get you?
Those feelings might be telling you something — not about them, but about you.
95%
of people believe they are self-aware.
Research shows only 10 to 15% actually are.

That gap isn't a character flaw. It's a blind spot — and blind spots, by definition, are the things you cannot see from the inside.

The Blind Spot Index was built to show you
what you can't see on your own.
Is this for you?

Ask yourself these questions.
If any land — this is for you.

Do you have the same argument on repeat — with different people?
Do you react strongly to certain situations and not quite know why?
Do people sometimes describe you in ways that don't match how you see yourself?
Do you often feel taken off guard or offended when someone gives you feedback?
Do you get upset without being able to identify what triggered it?
Do you wonder why certain situations affect you far more than they seem to affect others?
Do your relationships seem to follow a pattern you didn't choose and can't quite break?
Do you sense something is operating beneath the surface of your reactions — but can't quite see what it is?
If you answered yes to any of these, the Blind Spot Index was built for you.

The person behind it

Built from what people reveal when they think no one's watching.

Most psychological assessments are built from academic literature. The Blind Spot Index was built from something different — thirty years of sitting across from people in a consulting room, watching the patterns that show up regardless of what someone believes about themselves.

The avoidance that presents as good judgment. The relational template running a current relationship that has nothing to do with the person in it. The self-concept that stays intact despite evidence that contradicts it at every turn.

These patterns are not rare. They are universal. What's rare is an instrument designed specifically to surface them — in plain language, without clinical jargon, in a form that a motivated person can engage with on their own.

The Blind Spot Index draws on established frameworks in attachment theory, reflective functioning, affect regulation, and cognitive psychology — translated into a structured assessment that anyone can complete without clinical support.

"In thirty years of clinical work, these are the patterns I've watched quietly run people's lives. I built this instrument because I needed something that could surface them honestly."

Why this is different

Not another
personality quiz.

Most self-help tools
—Confirm what you already believe about yourself
—Assign you a type or category and leave you there
—Measure traits, not the patterns underneath them
—Feel accurate because they reflect your self-image back at you
—Built on popularity, not clinical evidence
The Blind Spot Index
+Surfaces what you can't see from the inside
+Produces a dynamic profile of active patterns, not fixed types
+Measures the mechanisms beneath behaviour — avoidance, defence, regulation
+Designed to feel uncomfortably accurate, not reassuring

What it measures

Six areas.
All of them invisible
from the inside.

Blind spots aren't gaps in knowledge. They're patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour that operate below the level of conscious awareness — shaping what you do, what you avoid, and how you relate to people, without your permission or knowledge.

The Blind Spot Index draws on established frameworks in attachment theory, reflective functioning, affect regulation, and cognitive psychology — translated into a structured assessment that anyone can complete without clinical support.

The result isn't a personality type or a label. It's a clinical profile of where your patterns are most active — and where they're costing you the most.

How it works

Three steps.
One honest profile.

01
Answer twelve questions

The free assessment takes approximately five minutes. Questions are designed to reveal patterns you won't recognise as patterns — because that's the point. Answer with your first instinct. These are blind spot questions — overthinking your answer works against you.

02
Receive your profile

Your responses are scored across all six areas. You'll see where your blind spots are most active — and receive clinical interpretation written in plain language by Dr Patrick Kingsep PhD.

03
Go deeper if you choose

The free assessment reveals the surface. The full Blind Spot Index — sixty questions, complete cross-domain analysis, and a personalised growth pathway — is available as a one-time purchase.

What people are discovering

What people are
discovering.

Responses drawn from clinical use. Identifying details removed.

"I came in sceptical. I've done MBTI, I've done the Enneagram. This felt different — less about what type I am and more about what I keep doing without knowing why. The avoidance domain alone was uncomfortable to read."

— Male, late 30s · Senior manager

"I recognised myself in the avoidance section immediately. I've always framed it as being independent. Seeing it described as a pattern that protects me from something I haven't named yet — that landed differently."

— Female, early 40s · In therapy

"The affect regulation section described exactly why I shut down in conflict instead of responding. I knew I did it. I didn't know it had a structure. That's what made it useful — it gave me something to actually work with."

— Male, mid 40s · In a long-term relationship

"I kept thinking about my father while I was reading the relational templates section. I hadn't connected that pattern to him before. I've been in this relationship for six years and it took a twenty-minute assessment to surface it."
