JobCannon offers two different ways to get a weton reading, and they answer different questions. Picking the wrong one is the most common source of confusion for first-time visitors.
The Weton Calculator
- Input: your birth date
- Output: your exact weekday + Pasaran pairing, neptu total, and neptu band
- Speed: instant — no questions to answer
- Best for: "What's my weton, and what does the traditional reading say about it?"
This is pure lookup. The math is fixed — your birth date determines your weton, full stop — so the calculator is really a translation layer between a date and the traditional Javanese calendar system.
The Weton Quiz
- Input: 35 questions about how you actually think, work, and relate to people
- Output: a personality archetype, framed through weton language and imagery
- Speed: ~7 minutes
- Best for: "What does my actual personality look like, styled through this lens?"
The calculator tells you what the calendar says about your birth date. The quiz tells you what YOU say about yourself — dressed in the same vocabulary.
Why Both Exist on the Same Page
They're not competing — they're answering two different questions that happen to share a naming system. Your traditionally-calculated weton and your quiz-based archetype won't always match, and that's expected: one is a lookup table, the other is a live self-assessment.
Which One Should You Use First?
If you're curious about the folklore — what your actual birth date means in this system — start with the calculator. If you want a personality read you can act on, start with the quiz. Most visitors end up trying both — the calculator is instant, so the only real time cost is the quiz's seven minutes.
