Realist Style

How you think about trust, leverage, and the truth when interests collide. A Machiavellian pattern is a style of expectation, not a job description.

How love tends to show up for you: spark, play, friendship, lists, obsession, or devotion. The headline percent is the passionate and self-giving end.

Where your energy goes in company and in quiet. A higher percent leans introverted.

Personality · 9 min

Growth Mindset

Whether ability feels like something you build or something you have to protect from being seen.

Personality · 9 min

Emotional Intelligence

A self-report on noticing feelings, making sense of them, and choosing what to do with them. Not an ability exam.

Mood & Wellbeing · 9 min

Bipolar-Spectrum Mood Swings

Whether your history includes stretches of unusually high energy, less sleep, and riskier judgment — and a drop afterward. Not a diagnosis.

Anxiety Patterns

Worry, tension, and avoidance over the last two weeks. A map of anxious patterns, not a diagnosis.

Loneliness

The gap between the connection you have and the connection you want. Being alone and being lonely are not the same question.

Undirected

Whether your days feel aimed or adrift. A higher percent means less sense of direction, in the way meaning and grit research describe it.

Mood & Wellbeing · 9 min

Procrastination

The gap between intending to start and actually starting. Delay on purpose is a different creature.

Perfectionism

The worrying kind: mistakes as verdicts, doubt about 'done,' checking past the point of use. High standards are reported beside the score.

Mood & Wellbeing · 9 min

Impostor Feelings

The sense that success was luck, and that you will be found out. A feeling pattern, not a measure of competence.

Burnout Signals

Exhaustion, cynicism about the work, and a fading sense that what you do matters. Signals, not a diagnosis.

Moral Parsimony

How wide your moral vocabulary is. A higher percent means you keep the word 'wrong' for a narrower set of harms.

Ethics · 10 min

Where Duty Wins

How much weight you give rules that hold even when breaking them would improve the total. A higher percent is a more deontological lean.

Ethics · 9 min

Altruistic Pull

How often you help because someone needs it, including when you could leave and nobody would know. A motive, not a saint score.

Ethics · 9 min

Utilitarian Lean

Two ideas that do not always travel together: impartial concern for everyone's good, and a willingness to harm one person if the numbers come out ahead.

Ethics · 10 min

Peter Singer's Question

The drowning child, the far-away child, animals, and how much a decent life may keep. A higher percent sits closer to Singer's demanding, impartial answer.

Ethics · 11 min

Abortion: How Settled Is Your View?

You name the view closer to yours. The rest of the test tries to pull it out of shape. The score is how consistently you held the principle, not which side is right.

Philosophy · 10 min

The Trolley Problem

Switch, footbridge, loop, and transplant. A higher percent means you were more willing to trade one life for several, including when the one is used as a means.

Philosophy · 10 min

Thomson on Bodily Rights

The violinist, people-seeds, and what a right to life does not include. A higher percent gives more weight to Thomson's style of argument.

Philosophy · 10 min

Ship of Theseus

What makes you the same person after the parts are replaced? A higher percent trusts psychological continuity. The low end trusts the body. The middle thinks identity is not a further fact.

Philosophy · 10 min

Free Will and Determinism

Whether you could have done otherwise in a way the universe did not already fix. The middle band is compatibilism: freedom that survives a determined world.

Philosophy · 9 min

The Experience Machine

Nozick's offer: every experience you value, none of it real. A higher percent means you refuse. Contact with reality did the work.

Philosophy · 9 min

Veil of Ignorance

Rawls's device: choose a society before you know who you will be in it. A higher percent leans toward protecting the worst off and locking in basic liberties.

Philosophy · 9 min

Pascal's Wager

A decision-theory argument for belief: infinite payoff, finite cost, uncertain evidence. A higher percent means the wager moved you.

Philosophy · 10 min

Virtue Ethics

Whether the center of morality is the kind of person an act expresses, rather than a rule or a total. A higher percent leans that way.

Philosophy · 9 min

Stoic Resilience

The dichotomy of control, practiced without pretending that grief is a failure. A higher percent is that practice, not numbness.

Game Theory · 10 min

Prisoner's Dilemma

One shot, many rounds, tit-for-tat, and the last move. A higher percent is more cooperative. The middle is where conditional cooperators live.

Game Theory · 10 min

Newcomb's Problem

A predictor has already filled the boxes. One-boxers take only the sealed box. Two-boxers take the sealed box and the visible extra money. A higher percent is a one-box lean.

Game Theory · 9 min

Stag Hunt and Fair Offers

Two games about trust and fairness. Hunt the stag together, or take a sure hare. Accept a tiny share, or reject it and leave both of you with nothing. A higher percent is a fairness-and-assurance lean.
