Steps Toward Characterizing A Worldview: start with Basic Choices
this uses
version 5.0 worldview theme structure
with 104 themes:
16 meta themes and 88 regular worldview themes are grouped to make 52 choices
presented
on the flip sides of 52 Choices We Make playing cards
the
first step: The Meta Theme Choices can serve as a starting point for
characterizing and analyzing your worldview.
For each area of focus / card suit below, based on your
knowledge of the worldview you are characterizing (which could very well be your
own!), you have two choices (each a pair of meta themes) to consider. There are eight selections to make altogether--
two for each area. In characterizing your worldview using the Choices We Make
playing cards you'll go on to make 44 additional choices...But these
first eight choices are especially important since the meta themes they involve
guide choices to come. After all 52 choices are made and a
"Scorecard" completed, you can use the computer
analysis program to compare with worldview with twelve generic ones and check
its internal consistency / find contradictions seeming inconsistencies in your
choices.

To continue, making the other choices is facilitated with
the Choices We Make playing cards which you can make yourself familiar with from information provided here
With or without cards, you can then go to the Systematic Consideration of Choices,
