Focus Factors (FF) is a comprehensive personality system that maps your psychological traits across multiple dimensions. Unlike traditional personality tests that place you in a single category, FF recognizes that personality is layered and contextual.
The system uses 12 core factors organized into 4 dimensions to create a nuanced profile of how you think, feel, and behave in different situations.
