You get a file, not a feeling.
Most personality tests end with a label. This one ends with a nine-section instruction file your AI actually reads — paste it once and every conversation starts calibrated to you.
Same AI. Different results.
“Should I ask for a raise now or wait until my next review?”
Without BootFile
“There are several factors to consider when deciding whether to ask for a raise. Let's break this down:
Timing considerations:
- Performance reviews are typically...
- Market conditions may affect...
Preparation steps:
- Document your accomplishments...
It depends on your specific situation...”
With BootFile
“Ask now. Here's why:
You closed $340K in new business last quarter — 40% above target. Your review isn't for 5 months, and waiting signals you don't know your leverage. Market rate for your role in your city is $115-130K. You're at $98K.
One risk: if layoffs are actively being discussed, wait. Are they?”
Same question. Same AI. The only difference is a BootFile.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BootFile?
A BootFile is the output of an eight-archetype cognitive assessment — a portable profile that tells any AI how you reason, how you make decisions, and what kind of thinking earns your trust. Same file, works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and every major AI you use.
How long does the quiz take?
About three minutes. A short assessment identifies your cognitive archetype, then a few follow-up questions personalize the profile to your work and your context.
How does the assessment work?
Eight questions measure how you prefer to reason — how you process information, how you make decisions, and what kind of answers earn your trust. Your answer pattern maps to one of eight cognitive archetypes. We developed the framework specifically for AI interaction, and we publish exactly how it works.
Which AI platforms does BootFile work with?
Every major AI: ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and Microsoft Copilot. Your BootFile is formatted for each platform’s custom-instruction system, so it’s the same cognitive profile expressed in the way each tool expects.
How much does it cost?
The quiz is free. A BootFile is $4.99, one-time. It includes formatted output for all 6 AI platforms.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your quiz answers are used only to generate your BootFile. We don’t sell your data or share it with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
