Hello Anssi,
Thank you!
That´s right! Visual assessment is new and unique. Although there are visual personality assessment methods and tests out there, all of those are limited to self-evaluation, whereas Keigo visual test measures social styles, combining both self-rate and cross-evaluations. “Person and box” theme translates directly into both utilization purposes.
In other words, it is a combination of both, how you see yourself and, how others see you.
Frankly: You can crowdsource other peoples´ perception of you.
One profile is not better or worse than another one – no damage done, when giving / receiving evaluations. Moreover, why not run your own digital footprint on the top of everything...
Once you have established your own profile it is time to start analyzing your conversation partners.
It takes two to Tango!

The website and the description are pretty vague in my opinion. I understand what this product is supposed to do but I don't really understand how it does it. And by that I don't mean I don't understand logic in the code, I mean there are some serious omissions here, for example:
- what sources can it draw from (only twitter is mentioned)?
- how does it work if the person you want to analyze does not use social media/you haven't exchanged any text with them?
- what does an analysis to look like/in what format is it served? Can you provide us with with part of an analysis of an imaginary person or something to get an idea of what we're getting?
Also, I noticed that the reviews in the play store are quite negative so I'm not sure if I'm going to try it out.

Hello Anna,
Thank you for looking into us - and feedback.
I try to address stated concerns briefly here and I will expand on some of the themes later, which require more profound answers.
- The website and the description are pretty vague in my opinion. I understand what this product is supposed to do but I don't really understand how it does it.
We are about to start working on an animated video, which walks through the service as a first-person experience. We have had our work cut out for us trying get the app right, so it is a matter of priorities and resources at this point.
- And by that I don't mean I don't understand logic in the code, I mean there are some serious omissions here, for example:
Yes, we tried to communicate the big picture. However, we probably failed to bring forth all relevant information for the more tech savvy people.
- what sources can it draw from (only twitter is mentioned)?
Twitter it is. Names work instantly and, for example, blogs can be used for free text section (LinkedIn) FB is out of bounds / closed. We give 5 credits for free.
- how does it work if the person you want to analyze does not use social media/you haven't exchanged any text with them?
You can use sliders – for eternally free! That is, you can analyze behavior / behavioral cues. In case you have never met and the person in question is not active in (Twitter, blogs…), just go out and be yourself, with an open mind. Moreover, there are plenty of pointers – based on your own social gravitations – to take cue from.
- what does an analysis to look like/in what format is it served?
We use social styles as a framework, or theory of social interaction – a loved child has many names… It goes back approximately half a century. It is an oversimplification, naturally, but we find it very useful due to Universal nature of it. One profile is not better or worse than another one; There are pros and cons embedded in all variations.
- Can you provide us with witch part of an analysis of an imaginary person or something to get an idea of what we're getting?
Indeed, a first-person video would address this nicely. (Screen shots could help perhaps too.) We are about to start making a walk-through video, which follows narrative format, which we have found to be rather common is US (at least few years ago). Namely, introducing an imaginary character and have her / him do something old way, which is problematic, only to pick up the product and adopting a new way.
You can always just get Keigo and just randomly take the visual assessment and bounce around. We hope that you would give it a shot.
- Also, I noticed that the reviews in the play store are quite negative so I'm not sure if I'm going to try it out.
Unfortunately, we have had the Android version crash a couple of times at the beginning. Now fixed.
Valid points raised, thank you.
On the whole, we are trying to bring applied psychology to everyone. For the most part, for free. However, all this talk of AI / tech tends to move the focus away from the main point.
Life is short and we want to make the most out of it. We hope that we can help to improve our users lives and we hope that they use Keigo for good.
Sometimes small – or even mundane – ideas can have a huge impact. It is often a question of when and how those ideas are delivered and grasped. Nuance matters. That is what we try to achieve with Keigo. In order words, Keigo is all about mutual understanding, user empowerment and self-reflection.
At the end of the day, the answers are not in Keigo.
The answers are in you.

Just analysing yourself and creating your own profile is very interesting. I showed Keigo to a few colleagues and they all thought that already was very useful. Starting to analyse and match yourself with others is then the next level.
Pros:
Brings professional psychometrics to everyones finger tips with a clean, simple and easy to use UX.
Cons:
I am a LinkedIn heavy user and would love to get that data source available as soon as possible.
Hello Juho,
Thank you for your review!
This is how you can go Keigo on your Linkedin contacts. See if the up and coming conversation partner has written any blogs or articles. Then copy all of the texts into “AI” => “AI analysis by free text” – and you are good to go.

Hi Sebastian,
Thank you!
Yes, Keigo is all about understanding others – but it all starts with understanding of oneself first.
There are many layers and dimensions involved in these matters, but this old wisdom catches various aspects of it rather nicely.
Understanding others is knowledge,
Understanding oneself is enlightenment;
Conquering others is power,
Conquering oneself is strength.

I spent the weekend analyzing myself, friends and colleagues. It’s super fascinating seeing how you compare to others.
Pros:I feel like I know myself more after using the app
Cons:Can’t think of anything at the moment
