TBAP

Understanding the TBAP Framework

Core Principle

Every person is good. Differences in motivation, decision-making, and communication are wiring, not flaws. Conflict and stress reveal wiring. Awareness transforms misunderstanding into connection.

How Assessment Works

You can complete the assessment in two ways:

  1. Question Mode: Answer sets of questions for each measure. Your responses are constrained to ensure balanced scoring (questions sum to a fixed total).
  2. Override Mode: Directly set your position on each measure using sliders (1-99 scale). No constraints - set each independently based on self-knowledge.
