    Bunch Co-Founder and CTO here.

    We built an iOS app for personalized 2-minute leadership tips (think Duolingo for learning how to lead or just work better in teams).

    One of the challenges we've run into is the fact that there are several different working styles - there's no universal "right" way to lead. We found an interesting way to solve this problem using a model from Stanford. Here's a quick write up, that I hope you'll find interesting both from a technical perspective and for leading/building teams.

    Looks interesting. I can see this picking up. I'm wondering though, what's the difference between this and other tests? I've gone through many different ones and always a bit skeptical.

    What’s the difference between this and personality profiling? I know many of those personality tests aren't scientific, so how this one differs from, for example, tests like 16 personalities?

    Can you include a link to the research from Stanford?

    It feels strange to see vague claims that this is based on “model from Stanford” with zero citations or even attribution to the model.

    Concept seems pretty nice! As you guys developed the iOS app, but any plan for Android platform? Or maybe, Hybrid app with Flutter or ReactNative?

    How is it better than Myers-Briggs actually?
