Direction × modality

How does your thinking move?

Each item asks for two choices. The first maps the direction of thought. The second maps the Modality Axis—the way understanding takes form.

Choose what you naturally notice or rely upon, not what sounds most intelligent, caring, practical, or socially desirable. The five modalities are non-hierarchical.
