This TEST IS BROKEN, I DID THIS TEST FIVE TIMES, WITH MY BROTHER, SISTER AND FATHER AND ALWAYS HAD THE SAME RESULTS EVEN IF ANSWERS WERE DIFFRENT. I ALWAYS HAD 3-4 SIMILAR SCORES, ALWAYS I WAS 2A, NO MATTER WHAT I PICKED. EVERYONES THERE PROPABLY IS 2A, BY THE WAY HAS ANYONE DIFFRENT RESULTS THAN 2A???
I DID THIS TEST TODAY, 2A ALWAYS EVEN IF ANSWERS ARE DIFFRENT
I’ve used the test with many clients. 2A and 3 are the most common results. 1B was more rare but I’ve had a few. I’ve yet to have a 1A.
I would guess that if you randomly selected results you would more than likely end up selecting a mix of everything; hence, 2A.

I took the old test last year, then recently the newer version both came out 1B, with 1A secondary.
My partner did both as well, both came out 2B, with slightly different scores on secondary and other types.
The only noticeable difference was that her scores on both the old and the new test were a lot higher, like, on the old test while her top score was like 115 or something similar, and the new one i think it was 70%+, while for me my top score was 96ish on the old one, and about 55 or 58% in the new one, that is for 1B which is my dominant type. I’m actually not sure what that difference means, but regarding your question, the test worked for us both, twice each.
Question is why i Always have type 3 slightly higher than other types?
Probably because you are too stressed about optimizing everything.
Your posts/questions are radiating with anxiousness. Read the explanation below your neurotype test results. You will notice there that your highest score isn’t necessarily your dominant type.
You current well being/mindset can make you shift to the left or right of the spectrum BUT you can only be one true neurotype.
You like to lift heavy weights and respond well to it. If you are a type 3, that would mean you are blessed because type 3’s rarely perform excellent (at least not long term) with big lifts where the neurological component (from lifting very heavy shit) plays a role. The 2A can though.
That’s why if you have similar scores on every test you take and your dominant score is always a little bit above the rest, chances are pretty high you’re a type 2A. Especially if you asked your family to assist you in the test. That also explains why you can perform well on high intensity, neurological work.
Maybe all this new information you’re taking in from experienced lifters on this forum, coach Thibs and all the sources on the internet makes you feel very confused and unsure about if what you’re doing is right. Maybe you have other things going on in your life that cause you stress. What happens next is : 2A → 2B → 3.
You might think “I am a type 3 and I like lifting heavy weights often and recover well from it, what the f*ck is going on?!” When actually you’re just a stressed 2A.
This is just a hypothesis though. But if you are a bit stressed out, think about how you would normally behave and what type of training you naturally gravitate to. Think about your personality. Are you the type that aspires to just lift weights and live like a monk, being left alone by other people most of the time and having a lot of space for yourself? Or are you a people person who loves spending time with others, makes friends easily because you are so adaptable?
Think about your norms and principles, your integrity, the way you perceive the world. The answers to these questions will give you the clues you need to truly figure it out. The people on this forum, myself included, can only do so much. If you want quick answers, book a consult with the master himself.

If 2A is the most common type, with other typings requiring specific combinations of answers to narrow down specific typings, then it is not unusual at all that randomly selecting answers to try and ‘beat the test’ would result in a 2A typing.
If your first test told you a 2A why did you take the test again? Answer honestly and see what your typing is.
If you don’t believe in the principle then why bother taking the tests at all?
I feel like A type 3, but i Am regenrate from heavy training super super fast, for example TODAY i did two training session. In The morning i did bench press PR for 5 reps and after 8 hours i did another 5 PR in bench press and i feel Great, nothing pain me, so that is not type 3 for sure i think. I dont know is it characteristic for type 2a
so ? what is your question ?
I dont Believe in the system
THE TRUTH IS WHAT WORKS!
Your choice
Then stop taking the tests and train how you want.

You’re the type of person to retake one of those “Which _____ Character Are You?” Questionnaires unto you get the character you want… and apparently you’re willing to pay $15 each time to do it.

On the contrary. If you get the same score with different questions it just reinforces that te diagnostic is the right one.

“The test I deliberately flubbed is inconclusive! Shenanigans, I say! SHENANIGANS!!!”
I think training also depends on the rate of muscle fibers in your body. I am 2A with a high rate of fast twitch fibers and when I am stressed, I have the same personality traits as 2B and type 3 but I have never enjoyed training like 2B or type 3. I usually like heavy and explosive workouts like 1A and 1B (I usually reduce the intensity when stressed).

Hi, CT wrote somewhere, that best training plan for 2A based on block method:
First Block - 2-3 week train like 2B PHASE OF ACUMULATION (low carb, even keto)
Second block 2-3 week train like 1A PHASE OF INTENSIFICATION (high carb?)
Third Block 2-3 week train like 1B PHASE OF REALIZATION (mixed?)
My question is what mean Phase of Intensification and realization???
I know what is phase of acumulation, you just build volume nad gpp, but the other i dont know
And second question what should i do after finish all block, should i repeat that scheme or go on something diffrent?
And last question, is it good idea to after 3 weeks of keto, even month just jump into high carb diet? after adaptation to fats…
Thanks
Accumulation, intensification and realization can actually vary depending on your main goal.
The one constant is that the role of accumulation is to prepare the body for more intense work. It normally uses more volume, lighter loads, more exercise variation. It can also include slow eccentrics or very-high rep sets to build the tendons up. However, what constitutes accumulation for a powerlifter could actually be intensification for bodybuilders.
Intensificaiton can have two meanings.
-
If can mean switching the training to heavier loads/lower reps, focusing more on big basic lifts, less isolation work.
-
It can mean using more intensification methods like supersets, drops sets, rest/pause, etc.
The later, obviously, applies more to bodybuilding-type training
Realization is a phase where the training is geared toward maximizing your performance. in your sport/activity. For example, in powerliftng it means doing almost exclusively very low reps work on the competition lifts, in power and speed sports it means doing more explosive work to transfer the strength you gained into explosiveness. For bodybuilding it could mean over-emphasizing the muscles you want to develop the most to create the look you want
