Content Principles

The quiet rules we try to follow when writing quizzes, results, and essays for Selvora.

Entertainment and reference only

Before the principles, the non-negotiable framing. Everything on Selvora is entertainment and self-reflection content. Our results are interpretive summaries built from the answers you happened to pick — not clinical, medical, legal, financial, or career judgments.

That doesn't mean the pages are careless. It means we'd rather be precise about the kind of value one page can offer: a clearer word for a feeling, a softer way to compare two options, or a small question to carry into the day.

  • All quizzes, tests, tarot, and zodiac content are entertainment-first reflection tools.
  • Please don't use any Selvora result as the basis for medical, therapy, legal, financial, or career decisions.
  • Results describe tendencies in your answer pattern. They are not verdicts about who you are.
  • If something is weighing on you in a real way, a conversation with a licensed professional will do far more than any quiz here.

Entertainment first, honestly labeled

Everything on Selvora is produced as entertainment-oriented self-reflection content. We label it that way on quiz intros, on result pages, and across the FAQ. We don't dress entertainment up as clinical assessment, fortune-telling, or prediction.

Describe tendencies, not identities

Our copy describes how a type or pattern tends to behave — not who someone is. That's the difference between a sketch and a cage. We try to stay on the sketch side in every result.

Keep the reader in charge of their own life

Good self-reflection content offers a hypothesis to consider. Bad self-reflection content tries to take over the reader's decision-making. We aim for the first by avoiding imperatives about what you "should" do, avoiding promises about the future, and ending pieces with a question rather than a verdict.

Kind language about groups

Personality content slips into stereotype easily. We revise copy that casually mocks a personality type, a zodiac sign, or an attachment style. We describe healthy and unhealthy versions of a pattern — not the type itself as pathological.

Bilingual with care

Selvora ships in English and Korean. Translations are done in-house, not machine-translated without review. Result descriptions and guide essays get tuned to feel natural in each language — not like one is the echo of the other.

Ads stay outside the test itself

We do show Google AdSense ads on some pages, but ad slots are placed between blocks of content — not inside a quiz question, a tarot reveal, or a result headline. The goal is that an ad never interrupts or skews a moment of reflection.

Store as little as possible

Because our content is about personal patterns, we keep data collection as small as possible. Quiz answers, birth dates, and tarot picks all stay in your browser. We don't tie results to identifiers we could use to profile a reader.

Be honest about the limits of our tools

The frameworks we use — MBTI, Enneagram, attachment theory, zodiac traditions — are useful languages, but they aren't clinical instruments. Wherever that distinction matters, we say so right in the text (often in the same paragraph as the insight), so you don't walk away with more confidence than the framework actually earns.
