I know psychometrics well enough to trust it for baselines and distrust it for blind spots. Self-report can be clean and still miss what matters under pressure.

Projective methods aren’t my lane, which is exactly why I wanted Daryna Karuna here. Her guest post on “Heuristics vs Traps” goes where most HR tools stop.

Read it. Then subscribe to Daryna Karuna. If you care about decision risk, you’ll want her signal.

And it turns out Daryna and I even share mutual European academic contacts through EUASU, which made supporting her work an easy decision.
