Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your questions about 90gut





Mechanism

Why does the number of questions sometimes decrease?
90gut features an adaptive engine. It analyzes your answers in real-time, and once a clear tendency is detected on an axis, remaining questions for that axis are skipped.
Conversely, additional verification questions may be inserted for axes with uncertain answers. In other words, changing question counts is "proof that we're taking your answers seriously."
Does the question order change each time?
Yes. Questions are shuffled using an interleave method. Questions from the same axis are never consecutive, reducing response bias and yielding more accurate results.
What does the reliability badge (High/Medium/Low) mean?
The reliability shown after diagnosis is the result of cross-validation. It checks consistency between related axes (e.g., brain-spine, gut-heart). If contradictions are few, it shows "High"; if many, "Low".
If "Low," retaking the quiz in a relaxed state may improve it.
How long does it take?
About 3 minutes. It can be even shorter if the adaptive engine skips questions. Easy to get started.
Science

What scientific evidence is it based on?
90gut is based on 6 physiological axes. Each axis estimates body-based tendencies supported by neuroscience and physiology research.
This is not a genetic test. It's an approach that estimates physiological tendencies from behavioral patterns. Our philosophy is "Estimate, test, learn."
How is it different from a genetic test?
Genetic tests directly analyze DNA (cost: tens of thousands of yen, weeks for results). 90gut estimates constitutional tendencies from self-reported behavioral patterns.
Like noticing wheat sensitivity from "I feel bad when I eat it" without a formal test. Quick, immediate, and free to start.
How are the 16 archetypes determined?
Each of the 6 axes is classified as High/Low, and from the combination patterns, 8 base characters × 2 variations (A/B) = 16 archetypes are determined.
The A/B difference represents how secondary axis strengths create different behavioral traits within the same base character.
Privacy

Is my answer data saved?
Results are saved only in your browser (localStorage). If you sign in with Google, data also syncs to Firestore, enabling cross-device result sharing and retake history management.
Personal diagnostic data is never shared with third parties.
Is account registration required?
No. Both the quiz and free results are available without registration.
Google sign-in is optional and enables: result saving, cross-device sync, change tracking across retakes, and premium purchase linking.
How do I delete my data?
Local data: Clear site data (localStorage) from your browser settings.
Firestore data: Contact us via the Contact page. A self-service deletion feature is planned for the future.
Other
Can I share my results with friends?
Yes. You can share on X (Twitter). The compare feature also lets you check compatibility scores and complementary strengths with friends.
What happens if I retake the quiz?
Your archetype is updated with the new results. If logged in, past results are also saved, and the change tracking feature (sparklines and timeline) lets you visually track profile changes over time.
Is there a Japanese version?
Yes! The original Japanese version is available at 90gut.com.
