Therapists who want an instrument, not a replacement
Big Five with norms from a million respondents, ECR-R, HSQ, ZTPI. Comparable data your patient can bring you done. No AI telling you how to work.
We do not sell pseudoscience and we do not substitute clinical training. We sell a quantified cognitive profile that the client brings to session — with public-domain or published instruments, clear norms and documented limitations. If you find it useful, you use it. If not, you don’t.
The pains you bring
Expensive, impractical psychometric tests
NEO-PI-R requires a licence, a manual, scoring, country norms. The patient takes it in office or at a centre. Slow. Expensive. IPIP-NEO is public domain, normed, validated against NEO-PI-R with correlations of .77 to .86 (Goldberg, Johnson). Your patient completes it at home for €5–20.
Patients arriving with pseudo internet tests
"I am INFJ", "I am an enneagram 4", "I am an alpha wolf". You explain MBTI has terrible test-retest reliability (Pittenger 1993, Boyle 1995) and the enneagram has no serious empirical base. Better the other way round: patient arrives with real data, and if they want, you help them interpret it.
General-purpose AIs offering "psychotherapy" without training
Replika, Pi, Character.ai promise "your best friend" or "your coach". Your client tells serious things to a chatbot with no clinical supervision and no referral protocol. Afini does not play that game: our AI is calibrated to your profile, but the whole system reminds you it is not a therapist and recommends finding one when warranted.
What Afini solves
One page with percentiles and facets
The test.afini.ai report delivers percentiles per domain (N, E, O, A, C) and across all 30 facets, normed against 1,461,383 respondents (Johnson IPIP-NEO-300, IPIP-NEO-120, Open Psychometrics). Your patient brings it as a PDF; you read it in five minutes.
Attachment layer (ECR-R) and humour layer (HSQ)
On afini.ai you add ECR-R (Fraley et al. 2000) for anxiety and avoidance, and HSQ (Martin et al. 2003) for the four humour styles. Data comparable to what you would use in your own assessment, without the patient going elsewhere.
Exportable PCP for your own analysis
If the patient purchases the portable PCP (249€), they can share it with you as JSON. You read it with any tool. You have raw, normed data with an interpretation protocol, no middleware. You cross it with your own theoretical frame (psychodynamic, CBT, systemic, whatever you use).
We do not interfere with your work
Afini does not diagnose, does not interpret clinically, does not recommend treatment. It gives data. Where the data ends and clinical reading begins is your seat. The personalised AI, if used, has explicit instructions to refer to a professional at signs of pathology or crisis.
What you are probably asking
- What evidence is there of IPIP-NEO ↔ NEO-PI-R equivalence?
- Goldberg (1999) reported correlations of .77 to .86 between IPIP and commercial scales. Johnson (2014) published norms for the 300-item version with 145,388 respondents (Personality and Individual Differences). IPIP facets correlate robustly with their NEO-PI-R counterparts, though they are not identical.
- What about GDPR and patient data?
- The patient owns their profile. Individual account, exportable as JSON, deletable on request. They share it with you by their own means. Bilbao AI S.L. does not train models on user data. Legal detail at /legal and /privacy in six languages.
- Can I recommend it to patients without joining myself?
- Yes. test.afini.ai needs no signup, just the link. If you want to understand the product before recommending it, the logical step is to take it yourself. Otherwise, patients can do it and bring you the PDF with no involvement on your end.
Your case, with your own data
Cancelable, exportable, no training on your data.
Use cases
Professionals with a full head

Couples who want to talk better
Two profiles. One conversation protocol. No sermons about what love is.
Parents who prefer understanding to lecturing
Your kid is not like you. Knowing this does not turn parenting into a manual, but it takes the drama out of half the fights.
Coaches who prefer data to self-help
For executive, life, sports or team coaches. A serious instrument for serious clients. No DISC, no colour wheels, no promises of radical transformation in six sessions.
