You were made for more than self-knowledge.
You were made for mission.

Learn how the Transcendental Types can help you live into your God-given identity – and your call to holiness.

What are the Transcendental Types?

The T-Types are twelve unique personality profiles grounded in the ancient ideas of the Transcendentals: Truth, Beauty, Unity, Goodness - the same ideas rooted in Catholic philosophy, sacred Scripture and the person of Christ.

This isn't a new invention. It's a fresh lens on the eternal truths drawn from the Gospels, the writings of the Saints, and the Church's rich tradition.

Who It's For

This is for anyone looking to grow in freedom, anyone hungry to break free from unhealthy patterns, and anyone ready to start living more intentionally for God and others - in short, anyone looking to THRIVE.

Whether you’re Catholic, curious, or just seeking something real, you’re invited to explore how your soul reflects the image of Christ, the true model of humanity.

Why It's Different

This is not another self-help quiz or a shortcut to the easy life. It's a Catholic framework for self-knowledge and sanctity, built on the Church's understanding that knowing Christ is the key to knowing ourselves

"Christ, the new Adam, fully reveals man to himself and bring to light his most high calling" - Pope St. John Paul II

The T-Types are practical, yes — but they are also deeply theological. They are a roadmap for living out your vocation in the Body of Christ.
