What this is
Traditional systems, computed exactly as the traditions specify — including the Chinese New Year boundary that most software gets wrong. No part of it is empirically supported. It is here for the vocabulary, not the prediction.
Where it comes from
written down, not impliedPythagorean numerology, Chinese and Western zodiac
Pythagorean numerology and the two zodiacs are traditional systems, computed as the traditions specify. None of it has empirical support, and the result says so.

Why these questions carry no evidence
Every questionnaire in this app writes its own items, because the framework behind an instrument is usually public while the published questionnaire is copyrighted. That is the honest way to build it and it has a cost worth stating plainly: reliability and validity belong to a specific set of questions given to a specific group of people, not to the name of the idea behind them. These questions have never been given to a sample, have no norms, and have no evidence that they measure what they are named after.
