SOUND FAMILIAR?
It looks like a swing problem, but often the real cause is a mental habit. Everyone has their own pattern of falling apart.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
We read your golf across four axes, then map the combination to one of 16 types.
Aggressive × Steady
Go for the carry or lay up? How you face risk
Analytical × Feel
Build the shot with numbers and logic, or swing on image and rhythm
Planned × Spontaneous
Lock in routines and preparation, or ride the flow of the day
Clutch × Practice-Focused
Does pressure fuel you — or put a lid on your real game?
Your result shows your type, your tendencies, and a score bar for each of the four axes.

EVIDENCE-INFORMED
These questions weren't thrown together on a whim. They draw on frameworks actually used in golf and sport psychology research, rewritten in the language golfers use.
Competitive psychological skills
An internationally used inventory that measures the psychological skills athletes rely on in competition across seven areas, including performing under pressure, bouncing back from adversity, and sustaining concentration.
In this quiz: Informs the scenario questions that probe whether you thrive when it counts and whether misses stick with you.
Research on overthinking
A body of research on how a swing that normally runs on autopilot breaks down when pressure makes you consciously monitor it — recorded and analyzed from golfers' actual on-course thoughts.
In this quiz: Informs the questions that separate golfers who build shots with logic from those who play by feel.
Pre-competition anxiety
A scale that breaks the pre-competition state into three parts: worry in your head, tension in your body, and your confidence in the moment. Its hallmark is decomposing what “nerves” actually are.
In this quiz: Informs the questions about the first tee shot of the day and how you respond when the round is on the line.
The psychology of skilled golfers
A review article that synthesizes prior research on the psychological hallmarks shared by skilled golfers — goal setting, planning, one-shot focus, automated routines, and more.
In this quiz: Forms the foundation of our four-axis design: course decisions, practice habits, and the game-day mind.
Note: This quiz is an original self-discovery tool designed with reference to the research above. It does not reproduce any of these instruments and is not a scientifically validated psychological test or a medical assessment.
