The purpose of this site is two-fold:

  • To enable us to see the invisible
  • To promote harmony between opposites
See, it's really not that complicated after all!

 

 
How to Enter Percentages From humanmetrics.com
How-tos
Written by Tom H.   

This article describes how to enter a profile based on a four-letter type where the Strengths of the Preferences are expressed as single percentages. For example, a score in this format is available for free from humanmetrics.com.

Overview of process:

  1. Click on Draw
  2. Click on Add Your Profile Based on Percentages
  3. For each pair of opposites:
    1. Divide the "Strength of Preference" percentage from humanmentrics.com by 2
    2. Add this to 50
      For example, if the Strength of the Preference is 68, add 34 plus 50 to get 84%
    3. Use the corresponding slider to set the score to this value
  4. After doing this for all four values, click on Save to save a new profile
 
What Has Changed in Version 3.0
The Latest
Written by Tom H.   

Following is a list of the new features in this version of groja.com: 

  • Converted from PHP Nuke to joomla!, making the site more secure and easier to update
    • Redesigned site using joomla's Model-View-Controller (MVC) API.
    • The site takes advantage of four user levels (unregistered, registered, author, and editor) each of which has increasing capabilities.
    • Used the mootools javascript framework (packaged with joomla) to condense about 10-15 pages down to two!  The mootools panes to allow presentation of multiple lists, forms, information, and option groups on a single page.
  • Users don't have to be logged in to see an image of their personality - this version uses cookies to emulate storage of profiles and images in a database.
  • The quiz has been expanded to 88 questions and is written to allow for changes down the road.
  • Added the ability to add a score based on percentages, using sliders based on the mootools framework.
  • Created a new template and component that allows users to customize how the site looks.  Click on the More... option to try it!
  • Added ads so maybe we will see a return on this investment!

Also this version includes a gallery component, that will be enabled once we have enough images to put into one or more of them.
