Why masking changes the test experience
If you have spent years optimizing your behavior, you may answer based on successful performance rather than the underlying difficulty.
That means the score can reflect your coping system as much as the original trait.
What to pay attention to instead of just the number
Notice what feels unnatural, exhausting, or rule-based even when it works. Those details often explain the gap between resonance and score.
The homepage offers the RAADS-R score guide so you can compare the number with the broader context.
- Performance may hide effort
- A lower score does not erase lived difficulty
- Patterns and examples often matter more than thresholds
What to do if the score feels off
If the result feels too low, review whether you answered from internal experience or from what you have trained yourself to do.
