Chronotype · type
The Hummingbird
Neither early nor late — the middle of the continuum, where most people sit and where the schedule mostly fits.
What this type is
Your answers put you in the middle of the continuum, which is where the largest group of people sits and which the words "morning person" and "night owl" both fail to describe. Left to yourself you wake at a fairly ordinary hour, your attention peaks in the late morning and again in the early evening, and neither end of the day is a struggle. The rigidity bar says whether this middle is flexible, which is the most adaptable profile there is, or fixed, which means a two-hour shift in either direction costs you.
What this gives you is fit. The standard working day was built for people roughly like you, and most schedules cost you little. You can do the early meeting and the late dinner, not every day, but without the body objecting on principle.
The friction is that a middle score is easy to ignore, and the cost of ignoring it is invisible until it accumulates. Hummingbirds drift later on weekends and earlier on weekdays and call the resulting tiredness stress. The single most useful practice for this profile is the one that costs nothing: a fixed wake time, kept within an hour on weekends, so the middle stays where it is. And if you are tired despite a schedule that fits, chronotype is not the explanation — sleep quality and load are the next things to look at.

⏰ The middle drifts
Hummingbirds go later on weekends and earlier on weekdays and call the resulting tiredness stress. A fixed wake time within an hour, every day, keeps the middle where it is. It is the cheapest sleep intervention there is.
📈 Two peaks, not one
Your attention peaks late morning and again early evening, with a real dip in between. Put the hard work in the peaks and the routine in the dip, and stop scheduling the important meeting at three.
What produces this result
Every answer feeds one overall score, and that score falls into one of 3 bands. The bands are levels of the same thing, not different kinds of person.

The LarkSharp before the world is up, done before it is done — the early chronotype, and a schedule that mostly agrees with you.
The OwlSharpest when the world is winding down — the late chronotype, and a schedule that was built for someone else.
