Model-L was developed by Kimani White and Aleesha Lowry.
Instrument design and scoring: an independent implementation of their published architecture.
Why two scales
Strength and priority are separate facts
Forced-choice tests fail on Model-L for a structural reason. The model insists that how good you are with an element and how much you care about it are independent quantities — dimensionality (d) and priority (p) are different numbers attached to every position.
An ILI's Ti(N.) "Intellect" sits at Demonstrative: four-dimensional, masterful, and treated as a menial tool. An ESE's Ti(N.) sits at Suggestive: one-dimensional, barely self-provisionable, and craved. A single "how much is this you?" question collapses those two people onto the same point. Two questions pull them apart.
Scale 1 · Facility
How readily does this come to you?
Competence and stamina only. Ignore whether you like it, approve of it, or want more of it in your life. Things you are good at and resent count as high facility.
Scale 2 · Draw
How much do you want this?
Pull, priority, hunger. Ignore whether you are any good at it. Things you badly want and consistently fumble count as high draw — that combination is the most diagnostic signal in the whole instrument.
Answer for yourself, not your ideal. The scoring ipsatizes — it subtracts your own average and reads the shape of your profile, not its height. Rating everything a 4 tells it nothing. Honest lows are what make the highs legible.
The inventory
Sixteen elements, unnamed until scoring
Each card describes one of the sixteen monadic elements through three concrete behaviours. The element's name is withheld until you score, so the label can't steer the answer. Rate each card on both scales.

The field
Every element plotted by your two ratings, standardised against your own average. The four corners are Model-L's four central blocks — this is the plot a forced-choice test cannot draw, because it needs both coordinates.

Type fit
Your two 16-element vectors correlated against every type's predicted dimensionality and priority vectors. Draw is weighted more heavily than facility, because self-reported competence is the noisier of the two.
Cross-check
The four base dichotomies
Computed directly from element aggregates rather than from the correlation. When these disagree with the ranking above, the disagreement is the finding.

Item by item
What each card was measuring, what you said, and where that element would sit if the leading candidate is right. The flagged rows are where your answers depart from the model — read those before you accept the verdict.
