Answers to common questions about Know Thy Survey: validated psychology assessments, what results mean, pricing, and how to use them.
A validated psychology survey is an assessment whose accuracy and consistency have been studied in academic research and reported in peer-reviewed publications. "Validity" means the assessment measures what it claims to measure; "reliability" means the results are stable rather than swinging with mood or context. Every survey on Know Thy Survey is drawn from this body of validated research.
