Legal & Attributions
Last updated: August 8, 2026
TypeWeave brings together twelve systems of self-understanding. Most of them we did not invent — they are the life's work of the people named below, and we are grateful to them. This page credits each system's originators, acknowledges their trademarks, and states plainly that TypeWeave stands apart from all of them.
TypeWeave is independent. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or certified by any of the organizations, schools, or individuals named on this page. We use their names only to describe, truthfully, which established system a given lens is based on. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
What is TypeWeave's own
Every description, quiz item, report, and piece of interface text in TypeWeave is original writing, created for this app and protected by copyright as the property of Relationship Yoga LLC. We do not reproduce any organization's questionnaires, scored instruments, proprietary imagery, or copyrighted text. Where a system offers an official test, we say so and link to it rather than imitating it. Copyright protects a particular expression, not an idea or method — so TypeWeave describes these systems in its own words while pointing you to the authoritative sources for formal assessment.
The Sacred Partnership Archetypes — the earned lens — together with its five archetypes, capacities, and named practices, are an original work of Relationship Yoga LLC.
The systems, and who made them
| Lens in TypeWeave | Originators & owners | Marks & official source |
|---|---|---|
| Enneagram of Personality | An ancient symbol with no single owner; the modern personality typology was developed by Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo, and elaborated by many schools (Riso-Hudson / The Enneagram Institute, The Narrative Enneagram, Chestnut-Paes, and others). | RHETI® is a registered mark of The Enneagram Institute. Official tests are offered by the individual schools. |
| Attachment Style | Attachment theory developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth; the adult dimensional model draws on the research of Fraley, Waller, Brennan and others. Mainstream academic science, no single proprietor. | Validated instruments such as the ECR-R are published in the research literature. |
| Relational Patterns | An original TypeWeave reflection. Its constructs were informed by published research instruments: the Spann-Fischer Codependency Scale (Fischer & Spann, 1991), the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (Raskin & Terry, 1988), and the Pathological Narcissism Inventory (Pincus et al., 2009). | Construct-level inspiration only — no items, scoring, norms, or cutoffs are reproduced. TypeWeave's reflection is not equivalent to any of these instruments, is unvalidated, and is not a clinical assessment or screening tool of any kind. |
| Astrology (Western & Mayan) and The Places Report | Ancient traditions in the public domain. Western/tropical astrology descends from Hellenistic and Babylonian sources; the Mayan Tzolk’in is the living calendar of Maya daykeepers. Astrocartography is a twentieth-century development within the astrological tradition. | Calculations are performed by TypeWeave from public astronomical data. |
| The Four Axes | Built directly on C. G. Jung's Psychological Types (1921), which is in the public domain, plus the later Orientation axis. The sixteen stance names are TypeWeave's own. | Myers-Briggs® and MBTI® are registered marks of The Myers & Briggs Foundation. TypeWeave does not use, and is not derived from, the MBTI instrument — no four-letter codes are used. |
| Ego Development | Founded by Jane Loevinger; the later stages refined by Susanne Cook-Greuter (Cook-Greuter & Associates); related leadership "action-logics" by David Rooke and Bill Torbert; adjacent work by Robert Kegan. | The Leadership Maturity Framework™ and MAP (Maturity Assessment Profile) are the work of Cook-Greuter & Associates. See cook-greuter.com for the authoritative framework and assessment. |
| Spiral Dynamics | Grounded in the research of Clare W. Graves; developed and named by Don Beck and Christopher Cowan; later integrated with Ken Wilber's Integral Theory (SDi). | Spiral Dynamics® is a registered mark of its owners. TypeWeave's reflection is not a certified Spiral Dynamics instrument. |
| Ten Terrains of Consciousness | Created by Allen David Reed and Tahnee Woolf (Society For Collective Awakening). | The Reed-Woolf Terrain Analysis Quiz™ is their proprietary instrument. TypeWeave's reflection is independent educational content and does not reproduce that quiz; see tenterrains.com. |
| Human Design | Originated by Ra Uru Hu (Robert Alan Krakower); the system and its BodyGraph are associated with Jovian Archive Media. | Human Design System™ and BodyGraph™ are associated with Jovian Archive. TypeWeave computes the essential placements from birth data and does not reproduce the BodyGraph chart; jovianarchive.com is the authoritative source. |
| Emotional Abilities | Informed by the ability model of emotional intelligence developed by John D. Mayer, Peter Salovey, and David R. Caruso, and by the broader emotion-research literature. All assessment items and report language are original TypeWeave content. | MSCEIT® and MSCEIT™ 2 are marks associated with their publisher. TypeWeave's reflection is not the MSCEIT, does not reproduce it, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or validated by the model's authors or publisher. It is an exploratory emotional-reasoning reflection, not a validated EQ test. |
| Fundamental Wellbeing | The research term and continuum described by Jeffery A. Martin and collaborators (Center for the Study of Non-Symbolic Consciousness). | See nonsymbolic.org for the original research and programs. |
| Sacred Partnership Archetype | Original to Relationship Yoga LLC. | © Relationship Yoga LLC. |
