The Holistic Character Assessment Toolkit (H.CAT) is a roadmap to an initiative aimed at implementing new features to enhance character understanding and development. It combines different tests including Enneagram, HEXACO-W, PETALS, and Jungian Scenarios to analyze aspects like core fears, desires, personality traits, behavior patterns, and emotional complexities. It aims to offer features such as diverse testing options, character profile creation, management, comparison, and personalized inputs. The toolkit is envisioned to help users create multidimensional characters for their stories, providing a comprehensive understanding of psychological profiles and complexities.

The Personality Extremes, Traits, and Layered Spectrums (PETALS) model is a groundbreaking personality assessment framework that explores the extremes of human personality traits. The PETALS model goes beyond common behaviors to explore traits such as narcissism, psychopathy, power dynamics, risk perceptions, and more. This framework can aid character development in fiction, help in navigating interpersonal relationships, and foster personal growth.
