// Psychometric instruments

What you see, you can care for.

mytochi measures what gives or takes energy: how you see yourself, the relationships you live in, and the conditions you work under. And for organizations, the human side they run on: culture, behavior, and readiness for change. Measured properly, interpreted through published research, revisited over time.

You see your results with a description of each construct, why it matters, the interpretation, and possible implications.

// What you gain
/01

Identify patterns

See what single answers hide: what clusters, what repeats, and what drives what.

/02

Understand impact

Know why a pattern matters and what it predicts, grounded in published research.

/03

Release potential

Turn readings into action, and let the next wave show whether it worked.

// Two instruments

For you, or for your organization.

Same method, two audiences. Pick the one that fits.

Individuals

Selfship

What it measures
Self-worth across five areas of life, how you set and coordinate boundaries, and how you open up to others.
What you answer
Statements about the past four weeks on a seven-point scale. About 20 minutes.
What you receive
A reading per area, a view of where energy is held and where it leaks, and a baseline you can revisit.
Start the assessment
Organizations

COMPASS

What it measures
Readiness for change across the people who have to carry it: how they see the change, what they trust, and what holds them back.
What you answer
A short survey for employees, run in waves before, during, and after a transformation.
What you receive
A readiness profile by unit and role, the levers that move it, and a second wave that shows whether they worked.

// How it works

Four steps. Repeatable.

/01

Answer

Statements about the past four weeks. Not who you are, what actually happened.

/02

Read

Each area shows a level and a load, explained in plain language and tied to research.

/03

Keep

Results are anonymous by default. Create an account if you want to keep them. No name required.

/04

Revisit

Measure again after a change. The second wave is where the reading becomes useful.

Period, not trait. A different four weeks can legitimately look different.
You against you. Readings compare your areas with each other, not you with other people.
No diagnosis. Patterns and loads are evaluated, never the person.
Your data. Only you can see your results. Organizations see aggregates, never individuals.
// Grounding

Built to be validated.

Both instruments draw on established theory. Selfship builds on the contingencies of self-worth framework for self-esteem and on Communication Privacy Management theory for how people manage boundaries and disclosure. COMPASS builds on research into job demands and resources, self-determination, perceived organizational support, organizational justice, and the psychological contract. Every item belongs to a defined construct, every score is computed from one shared source, and readings stay comparative within a person until norm data exist. Item statistics, reliability, and factor structure are reviewed with every wave.

Energy, the one thing mytochi shows in green, is what the pillars add up to.

Chiara Breuer

Psychologist, based in Zürich

Who we are is shaped less by what happens to us than by how we appraise it. Everything we encounter in a day is appraised continuously: the relationships we live in, with ourselves, with family and friends, with the people we work with, but also the work itself, the demands placed on us, the environment we move through. Each appraisal has a cost or a yield. What we evaluate as positive replenishes energy. What we evaluate as negative, and what triggers strong emotion, draws on it: attention narrows, functioning drops, and part of the day is spent returning to baseline rather than moving toward a goal.

That matters because the things that fulfill people over time are effortful. Meaning, mastery, close relationships, a mind that stays stimulated: none of them are available to someone in constant stress and survival mode. Managing one's energy budget is therefore not wellness, it is the precondition for a life lived on purpose. Organizations think of their workforce as human capital, and that is exactly what it is: the workforce is the capital of an organization, and you are your own. Individuals rarely apply this view to themselves, just as many organizations could make more of theirs.

I built mytochi to make that budget measurable where it matters, for you or for your organization: to identify where energy is spent, and where the leverage lies for what you are committed to. Measurement is what turns a vague sense of being drained into something a person can act on.
