What our guides are for

AurorIQ explains its own tools and the ideas behind them. A useful guide should help you understand a task, interpret a result cautiously and choose a practical next step. It should not turn a short assessment into a diagnosis or promise a life outcome.

Evidence and claims

We distinguish established concepts from assumptions in our implementation. A citation to a research paper does not validate AurorIQ. A model-based range is not an observed population norm, and an archetype is a descriptive summary rather than a separate validated trait.

Where a tool uses uncalibrated constants, we describe them as internal reference values. We do not claim professional review, clinical credentials or independent validation that we cannot document. Read the current methodology and validation status.

Original value

Our guides connect an explanation to the actual task: how it works, what can change performance, what a result cannot establish and how to use it. General research references are credited where used. We do not present another publisher’s writing or proprietary test as our original work.

Responsibility and corrections

Content is published under the AurorIQ name. No independent clinical reviewer is claimed. If you spot an inaccurate claim, missing source or scoring discrepancy, send a correction with the page URL, disputed passage and supporting evidence. An update date indicates an edit; it is not a certification of accuracy.

Advertising independence

Advertising does not determine scores, recommended answers or editorial conclusions. Sponsored content or affiliate relationships, if introduced, must be identified where readers encounter them. Ordinary links to our own tools are navigation, not scientific evidence. See our advertising policy.
