Introducing EgoQuest

A conversational AI project for multi-framework personality exploration through dialogue, not questionnaires.

Most personality tools ask you to fill out a questionnaire. You rank statements, wait for a four-letter label, and move on. That workflow works for research surveys. It fits poorly when the goal is a natural conversation about who you are, how you decide, and what patterns show up under stress.

EgoQuest is a conversational AI project I have been building to explore personality and ego through dialogue, not forms. It is research software aimed at self-reflection, not clinical diagnosis or hiring decisions. Full project documentation lives at /egoquest.

The gap EgoQuest targets

Published personality-from-text benchmarks often use long aggregated forum posts with self-reported labels. Real chat products face a different problem:

  • Users speak in short turns, not essay-length histories
  • A single framework (MBTI alone, Enneagram alone) rarely captures how people actually describe themselves
  • Uncertainty matters: weak signal should not be presented as certainty

EgoQuest is designed around multi-turn chat as the primary input. The research question is whether useful typology signals can be inferred from how people talk, not only from how they answer structured items.

What it integrates (at a high level)

Rather than forcing one model of personality, EgoQuest draws on established frameworks as complementary lenses:

  • Jung/MBTI dichotomies and cognitive function language
  • Enneagram motivation and stress patterns
  • OCEAN (Big Five) trait dimensions
  • Socionics and temperament models

The product goal is coherence across these views in one experience, with honest confidence when conversational evidence is thin. How it is built stays private.

Public materials

Reproducible Hub artifacts for EgoQuest are not published. The EgoQuest page lists everything I have published about it. Other public ML work lives on Hugging Face (

) and GitHub (
Dinamush
).

Application source remains private during active development; this portfolio describes goals and withheld IP at a high level.
