Anvoria Refract™
DeutschThe science-based alternative to traditional personality tests for your all-round development.
Many conventional approaches put people into fixed personality types. Anvoria Refract™ decodes the way unconscious thinking, layers of values and somatic intelligence work together. This advanced, digitally validated assessment brings established psychological concepts together with modern coaching expertise so you can apply what you learn in daily life. Psychosocial counsellor Steven Sabet personally evaluates your results.
From €79One-time total price. No subscription.
You take on one more task even though your day is already full. You don’t really want to go to the event, but you feel like you’re supposed to. Let’s look at how much other people’s feedback shapes your judgement. In the session, you’ll clarify which standards matter to you and how to stand by them.
You weigh up the options and keep asking for advice. Your lists grow, and so does your frustration. You wanted this off your mind ages ago, and you still haven’t decided.
You explain the details, the process and the risks. The other person only wants the big picture and looks bored. Discover how you prefer to process and communicate information. In your debrief, we’ll discuss how you could structure conversations differently and ask more focused questions.
You got the promotion, but the satisfaction never came. You finally hit your goal, took the trip or competed in the event, and now you’re restless again. The values perspective in Meta-Growth and Spectrum helps you look at your priorities and development. We’ll explore what’s missing from your everyday life and what you’d like to give more weight to going forward.
After a breakup, a move or a career change, your old priorities may no longer fit. The inner home you’ve made for yourself may need a fresh coat of paint and a few changes to feel like somewhere you want to live again.
Which of these situations feels familiar in your own life?
A personal note from Steven
“That’s just who I am.” I’d like to put that idea to the test with you. I’m interested in what’s behind the things that keep happening in our lives. How we think, decide and act. Why we do what we do in life, at work and in relationships, and what becomes possible when we start to notice it.
Your potential assessment report gives us a starting point for turning insight into change and achieving what you want. That’s why I review every assessment personally. In our session, we’ll bring your results and your current circumstances together with what you’d like to change. We’ll focus on your goals, your growth and a future that feels right for you.
An insight becomes valuable when you can use it in everyday life.

Thinking and decision-making patterns
79€
See how you take in information, communicate and make decisions. Understand the unconscious patterns you tend to fall back on and gain more flexibility in how you respond in everyday life.
Start with your thinking and decision-making patterns.
Metaprograms describe your preferred ways of thinking, behaving and making decisions. What do you notice first? Opportunities or risks, the big picture or the details? Do you rely on your own standards or seek feedback? Meta brings these patterns to light. In your session with Steven, you’ll see where they help you and where a different approach could open up new possibilities.
Thinking patterns and values
139€
Understand your thinking and decision-making patterns and recognise the values and inner motivations that shape your decisions. Together, these two perspectives take you from how you decide (Meta) to why you might decide that way.
Everything in Meta, plus your values and inner motivations.
Meta-Growth includes the pattern perspective from Meta and adds the Growth values perspective, based on Clare W. Graves’s model. You’ll see what motivates and guides you, such as security, autonomy, achievement or connection. In your personal session, you’ll bring your thinking patterns and values together around a specific question so you can make decisions that feel right for you.
Our most comprehensive package
279€
Understand yourself in depth. Decide what you want to change and take the next step with a clear plan. In two focused hours of coaching with Steven on the areas where you want to grow, you’ll turn the full picture into your personal development plan.
Everything in Meta-Growth, plus six more areas of life.
The Spectrum assessment, report and coaching session are available in German only.
Spectrum combines Meta and the Growth values perspective with head, heart and gut, relationships, everyday challenges, needs, your personal goal, and resources and pressures. You’ll look at your situation from eight perspectives and bring the results together in your one-to-one session to work out your next step.
All prices are one-time totals. No subscription.
Once you’ve completed your potential assessment, Steven releases your report within three working days. Then you can book your included debrief online, or in person at the practice in 1150 Vienna if you’ve chosen Meta-Growth or Spectrum. You can book the session through your dashboard in the web app within six calendar months of activating your code.
Once payment is confirmed, you’ll receive your access code by email. Your results dashboard and PDF report will be available once Steven has personally reviewed and approved them. See the Terms & Conditions for information about your right to cancel.
Real voices, real change, real breakthroughs.
A potential assessment for you or as a unique personal Christmas gift
Work that suits you. Relationships where you can be yourself. Decisions you can stand behind. Spectrum looks at how your patterns, values and current circumstances interact. See what supports you, where you’re getting stuck and what matters most to you now.
Your personally reviewed report brings the results together into a single picture. In two hours with Steven, you’ll sort through your questions and develop next steps that fit you and your everyday life.
The Spectrum assessment, report and coaching session are available in German only.
Some people want the big picture first. Others need details before they can decide. This part explores your preferred thinking, behaviour and decision-making patterns, such as how you see opportunities and risks or respond to change. In the assessment, you describe the approaches that feel most natural to you. The report shows your preferences. It can help you recognise familiar reactions and use the session to explore which ones suit your current situation and where you’d like to try something different.
Values influence what matters to you and how you judge whether a decision is right for you. The assessment looks at six different value orientations. Several can matter at the same time and to different degrees. In the report, you’ll see which orientations stand out in your answers, and you can compare them with your own experiences. That can help you understand why reaching a goal may feel less satisfying than you expected or which priorities you want to give more weight to as you prepare for a change.
Practical reasoning, feelings and intuition can each carry different weight in a decision. Head, heart and gut explores these complementary ways of deciding through general statements and choices in specific situations. The report shows these two views separately and also combines them in a single profile. You can see where your general self-assessment differs from the answers you chose and talk with Steven about which approach you’d like to draw on more in a particular decision.
How do you make yourself understood while speaking up for your needs and boundaries? Here you describe how you approach relationships, including how you deal with disagreements or conflict. The questions ask about situations where it’s appropriate and safe to speak up, and the report summarises how you see yourself in those situations. In the session, you can talk through recurring moments, such as saying yes too quickly or facing a difficult conversation, and consider what you’d like to say more clearly next time.
Stress, mistakes and setbacks can make everyday life harder. This part asks how you handle those situations, how you treat yourself and how you find your bearings afterwards. Your answers give you a starting point to look more closely at your usual responses. Together with Steven, you can consider what already helps in difficult moments and what you’d like to try the next time.
How much say do you feel you have in your life right now? How capable do you feel, and how connected do you feel to others? The assessment asks you to think about the past four weeks. In the report, you’ll see how you rated your sense of choice and influence, competence and connection over that time. This can help you understand a vague sense of dissatisfaction and consider in the session which need you’d like to give more attention to in everyday life.
If you have a specific goal in mind, you can choose to bring it into this part of the assessment. Consider why it matters, what place you want it to have in your life and how it affects other things you care about. More than one motivation can apply. Your answers give you and Steven a concrete example to discuss. You might clarify what you hope to achieve through a career change, for example. Your other results are unaffected if you skip this section.
What resources can you draw on in everyday life, and what’s taking up your energy right now? This part asks how you rate your rest and energy, time, practical resources and support, and the demands on you over the past four weeks. It covers your general circumstances whether or not you’ve brought a personal goal. In the session, you can consider what support you could draw on and how much room you have in your everyday life for a next step.
See what strengthens you, what’s holding you back and where you want to begin. Choose Spectrum and use your results as the starting point for your next step.

Steven Sabet, MBA
A decision looks clear on paper, yet you still can’t bring yourself to act. You want to set a boundary and find yourself saying yes again. These are the moments that interest me. What patterns are at work? Which ones still help you? Which would you like to change?

The scientific foundations at a glance
Anvoria Refract™ takes an in-depth approach that combines several assessment methods. Each of its eight modules draws on established psychological models, international studies and validated psychometric concepts. The assessment brings these findings together so you can apply what you learn to everyday life, personal development, and life and career coaching.
This module explores your unconscious patterns of perception and decision-making. It draws on key works on thinking and behaviour by Hall and Bodenhamer (Figuring Out People) and Charvet (Words That Change Minds).

What sets Anvoria Refract apart
Traditional potential assessments and standardised personality tests usually end with an automated PDF. They tell you who you are or what you can do and leave you to work out how to apply the results.
Anvoria Refract™ takes the next step. It takes a holistic approach that combines several methods, connecting in-depth psychological self-assessment with measurable changes in everyday life. It looks at the unconscious mechanisms behind your everyday decisions, with time to explore how they work.
| Criterion | Traditional potential assessments and online tests | Anvoria Refract™ |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment approach | Rigid personality types (Who are you?) and cognitive performance tests | Flexibility in how you respond and a holistic view (How do you act, and why?) |
| Scientific basis | Often based on purely commercial personality type models | An evidence-based combination of leading academic standards, including self-determination theory, the Graves model, ERQ and WellBQ |
| Focus and scope | Looks at work-related skills in isolation | Three perspectives on your life in 360°: cognitive patterns (Meta), the values that drive you (Growth) and somatic intelligence (head, heart and gut) |
| Review and quality | Fully automated, mass-produced reports with generic development questions | Personal quality review by an expert coach with academic qualifications and international certifications (MBA, psychosocial counsellor, lead trainer in NLP, hypnosis and mBIT) |
| Applying your results | Results alone, with no guidance on what to do next | Practical steps you can take, with a personal debrief and a tailored development plan in the Spectrum package |
Refract™ draws on internationally established, psychometrically validated standards from research on thinking and behaviour, motivation and resilience.
People change. Refract measures how flexibly you respond across situations. You learn when your patterns help you and how to adapt them deliberately.
Explore how your cognitive patterns (Meta), the values that drive you (Growth) and your inner sense of alignment (head, heart and gut, or somatic intelligence) work together.
Steven Sabet personally reviews and approves every assessment.
The digital assessment takes 20 to 90 minutes, depending on the package. You can fit it around your life, pause at any time and use it on mobile or desktop. You get clear results without having to travel or spend days taking tests at an institute. One-time prices start at €79.
Your potential assessment. Your next step.
Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
