Neon Selfcheck is a self-assessment platform offering three measurements to organizations and individuals: personality (Enneagram, 9 types), emotional intelligence (5 areas) and life skills (9 areas). Each survey takes about 8 minutes and produces a personalized PDF report. Age versions from preschool to adult, in Turkish, English and Arabic.
Neon Selfcheck at a glance
Three pillars of self-knowledge
Neon Selfcheck maps human development through three holistic measurements: temperament (Enneagram) reveals your motivation and behaviour map, emotional intelligence covers five core emotional skills, and life skills shows your competence across nine areas of life. With versions for every age from preschool to adult, we generate personalized PDF reports.
Evidence-based guidance for students and parents, the right person in the right role and cohesive teams for companies, and a solid development foundation for coaches and consultants. Available in three languages (Turkish, English, Arabic) and privacy-compliant.
What the three say together
Personality
Explains why someone does what they do: core fear, motivation and where their attention goes. Relatively stable — it matures rather than changes.
Emotional intelligence
Shows how someone notices and manages emotions and connects with others. Learnable — it rises with practice.
Life skills
Measures what a person can actually do today: from time management to budgeting, communication to self-care. It grows directly with practice.
The three do not replace one another; they show three layers of the same person. Personality answers why, emotional intelligence answers how, life skills answer what. A personality report alone will not tell you what someone can do today, and a skills report alone will not explain the motivation behind the behaviour. Read together, the development plan becomes concrete: which skill, leaning on which motivation?
These three measurements sit together under Neon 360. The other apps in the Neon family are not assessments; they do different jobs: Okumap tracks reading development, Maarif is a portfolio and rubric tool, Neon Data manages an institution's application and prospective-student data, and Neon Web Analiz audits websites. What they share is the same institutional panel and the same three languages.

Open →How we measure
All three modules are self-report surveys: the person describes their own behaviour and the system scores it. The personality module narrows the nine types with a three-stage elimination algorithm — instead of a single-round "highest score wins", it also treats elimination depth as a signal. Emotional intelligence is measured across five areas and 25 facets; life skills across nine areas on a single behavioural scale.
Each module ships in age versions from preschool to adult; both the questions and the report language change with age. The reports are written on the back of ICF-certified coaching practice (5000+ sessions) and can optionally be interpreted with an expert. Data is processed in line with Turkish data-protection law (KVKK) and hosted on servers in Europe (Germany).
Key terms

- Life skills
- The practical competencies daily life requires: communication, problem solving, time and money management, self-care.
- Self-assessment

- University choice guidance

Neon surveys rest on these frameworks; the items and scoring are self-report scales developed by Neon Selfcheck. The works are copyrighted — we apply the framework, not the text. Goleman offers a theoretical framework rather than a scale, hence “our survey based on Goleman's five areas”, never “the Goleman test”.
