Comparison of tests that are 12 years apart

From database backups of the first JakToMam prototype from 2014, we managed to restore completed user tests from that time.

Restore them, recalculate them, display them — and compare them with tests completed by the same users today.

🔄 The Same People. 12 Years Later.

We were able to find several people who had taken the test back then —
and who took it again today.

Suddenly, we had something we had never had before:

maps of the same person, 12 years apart

Not days.
Not weeks.
But a piece of life.

🧭 What We Expected — and What Did Not Happen

We expected one of two possibilities:

1. everything would be different
2. everything would be the same

Neither happened.

🧩 What Appeared

In each person, a strange combination emerged:

something remains surprisingly the same

and at the same time

something changes in a fundamental way

👤 Two Stories — Without Names

1. A Stable Shape, Changed Content

In the first person, the map looks similar at first glance.

• a similar arrangement
• a similar “center of gravity”
• the relationships between the main themes still hold

But when you look closer:

👉 some specific terms have moved somewhere completely different

For example, the theme of children:

• once almost on the edge
• today much more connected, alive

This is not merely a change of opinion.

It is as if, inside the same house,
the contents of the rooms had been replaced over those 12 years.

2. A Stable Center, a Changing World

In the second person, the image is different.

One thing remains the same:

👉 “I” continues to hold the map together

But everything around it:

• relationships
• emotions
• themes such as joy, fear, love

rearranges itself significantly across the maps.

Once close, another time far away.
Once connected, another time disconnected.

Here, the map does not feel like “character.”

It feels more like a living field that keeps changing.

---

🧬 And That May Be the Most Interesting Part

It is not only that people change.

We know that.

But here, something becomes visible:

👉 each person changes differently

• someone keeps the shape and changes the content
• someone keeps the center and changes the whole field

And both are visible in the data.

🕰️ What It Means

These maps are not a test of the type:

“what kind of person you are”

They are more like an imprint:

how your world is arranged — right now

And when you have more of them over time:

you begin to see movement

---

🔍 What We Are Only Beginning to Explore

This is the first small sample.

A few people.
A twelve-year gap.

But even now, something is beginning to appear:

• stable cores exist
• deep transformations exist
• and those transformations have different “types”

👉 and we do not yet know how many types there are

---

✨ Why This Excites Us

Because this is no longer just a map.

It is a story.

And perhaps:

👉 when there are more maps,
👉 that story will begin to make sense even toward the future

---

Perhaps we do not change in the way we think we do.
Perhaps what has always been inside us is simply rearranging itself.
