Show Dev: I built a privacy-first psychology & career test platform with Astro, React, and AI

Description and use

Tester.lt offers anonymous psychological and career assessments without registration or hidden fees, built with Astro, React, and Tailwind CSS for instant client-side scoring, and optional AI synthesis for complex frameworks.

Problem

Online personality and career test sites often use dark patterns, requiring users to spend time answering questions before locking results behind paywalls or email traps.

Outcome

Tester.lt delivers privacy-first psychological and career assessments with instant results, eliminating dark patterns and providing optional AI-enhanced audits for complex frameworks.

Workflow

• 1. User visits Tester.lt in a browser.
• 2. Chooses a test (e.g., Big Five, Cartesian Decision Square, Life Balance Wheel, Holland Code, ASRS, Job Burnout, Impostor Syndrome).
• 3. Answers questions; scoring is performed client-side using Astro, React, and Tailwind CSS.
• 4. For complex frameworks, optional AI synthesis is invoked to generate a comprehensive audit.
• 5. Results are displayed immediately without requiring account creation or email submission.

Evidence

Most online personality and career test sites use classic dark patterns - letting you spend 15 minutes answering questions only to lock the final evaluation behind a paywall or a mandatory email trap.

AI-Enhanced Audits: While standard psychometric tests run purely client-side, we integrated optional AI synthesis for complex frameworks like the Big Five (OCEAN) Test, the Cartesian Decision Square, and the Life Balance Wheel.
