The card set and its change log

Every card in the game, how often each one lands on the side a known-type player would predict, what players have flagged, and every change ever made — with the wording before and after.

The rule: cards are never edited to chase the agreement number. A card changes only for a reason a player would recognize — ambiguity, dated wording, two sides that both apply — and when it does, the old wording, the new wording, the reason and the agreement figures before the change are recorded below. That way the game stays a version of Dr. RoBards’ instrument rather than a mirror of whatever the internet believes about type.

v1.0 2026-03-23

Production card set: 36 forced-choice cards in four rounds, rebuilt for the web from Dr. RoBards’ physical card sort. Wording adapted for a general audience; dimensions and pairing logic unchanged.

Agreement is computed per card from players who told us their type before playing: the share who chose the side their stated type predicts. Small counts move around; treat anything under n=30 as provisional. Player flags come from the “any specific cards feel off?” prompt on the result screen.
