What the four letters describe
| Axis | First pole | Second pole | Observation focus |

| S / N | Familiar and concrete | Novelty and exploration | How a dog responds to new routes, objects, and routines |
| T / F | Outcome-responsive | Emotion-responsive | How strongly social tone and household emotion shape behavior |
| J / P | Structure-seeking | Flexible rhythm | How a dog responds to schedules, changes, and open-ended activity |
How to use a result responsibly
- Compare the profile with behavior across several familiar situations, not one unusual day.
- Retest after major changes only when the dog has had time to settle into a new baseline.
- Treat low scores and high scores as tendencies, not strengths versus flaws.
- Use sudden behavior change as a reason to check context and health—not as proof that the personality type was wrong.
- Contact a veterinarian or qualified behavior professional when behavior creates distress, safety risk, or a marked change in daily functioning.
What this library does not claim
The 16 Rocha Tech profiles are an interpretation layer built for owner reflection. They are not the original C-BARQ, are not a validated clinical instrument, and do not determine breed, medical status, or a behavioral diagnosis.
Individual type pages are intentionally held for editorial review rather than being mass-published as thin pages. This index supplies the reusable model and the verified naming system for future reviewed profiles.
