Is this a personality test?
No. A test classifies people; a map describes territory. Your result gives you a location in a process that changes over time, not a permanent label about who you are.
Is it coaching?
No. A coach accompanies you toward a direction. Proa Nova shows you where you are so the direction is yours to decide. I work as a team coach, but the maps are something else: tools you use on your own. They can be useful within a coaching process, but they aren't one and don't replace it. See the full definition in What is Proa Nova.
Is it therapy?
No. If you need emotional support, or symptoms persist, a mental health professional is the right path, and the map itself tells you so when your answers suggest it. Proa Nova offers clarity to move with better judgment; it doesn't treat, doesn't provide clinical diagnosis and doesn't replace therapy.
Who is it for?
Adults facing an important change who need structure to understand what's happening before deciding. Today that change is professional: a role or career transition, a tiredness that rest doesn't fix, a decision at work with no obvious answer. Later, other areas of life.
What does it cost?
The Quick Map is free and requires no sign-up, and so is the library of short guides. The Full Map is paid; the current price appears on the purchase page. The three PDF guides are also paid, with a free sample on each page; the price of each appears there. Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which handles payment, invoices and taxes; depending on your country, tax may apply on top of the price. After paying, you receive the private link to answer it by email.
Who are the PDF guides for?
For people who have someone close going through a career change. The Guide for Supporting Someone is for family, partners or friends who don't know how to help without making it worse. The Leader's Guide is for people who manage others and need to support a change inside the team. The Practice Guide for Coaches and Mentors is for people who support transitions as their profession. None of them is therapy or replaces a professional. They are on Guides.
Who makes Proa Nova?
Jorge Valencia, one person. There's more in What is Proa Nova.
When is the Full Map worth it?
If the Quick Map resonated and you want depth: more nuance about your location, additional patterns, a Canvas pre-filled with your reading, and a practical 14-day guide. The full flow is described in How it works.
What do I do with the map after reading it?
That's yours to decide. The map is a tool, not a prescription. Some people use it to talk with someone they trust or with a mentor; others to choose their next small action; others to understand what to ask of a specific professional.
Which terms apply to my purchase?
Lemon Squeezy handles the purchase as the merchant of record, so it is governed by its buyer terms. Separately, if you bought the Full Map and it didn't work for you, write to us within 14 days and we'll arrange your refund through Lemon Squeezy.
What happens to my answers?
We don't sell data and we don't use your answers for marketing. Details in Privacy. The research behind the maps is in About the method.
What languages is it available in?
Spanish and English.
What if the result doesn't describe me?
It can happen: a map is a probable reading, not a verdict. Every result includes a way to tell us what didn't fit, and that feedback is used to refine the map. If you bought the Full Map and it didn't serve you, write to support@proanova.com within 14 days and we'll refund you.
