Choices We Make Worldview Analysis for One Person

A Program for Finding the % Correlation Between Worldviews (version 4.2 themes based)

 This program is designed for one person to use in comparing his or her worldview with eight different generic categories of worldviews--all of them based on the choices made when presented a deck of 52 "Choices We Make" playing cards (or booklet) with different worldview theme choices on each side (in each frame).   It will also check this person's worldview for internal inconsistencies and encourage further investigation in this regard. To involve a second real person in the analysis you need to use the basic two person program.  

 Before Running This Program: 
This program is intended for use with the "Choices We Make" playing cards or booklet that we provide for use in characterizing worldviews.  Follow the activity instructions...With cards, worldview themes you prefer are placed up (so that the theme you don't prefer is down) in various piles--where the number of cards in each pile is constrained. (Note just use the scorecard if you have the booklet only.)  A few cards where you have no preference go in a separate pile. So you make four piles of cards: as follows: in pile #1 put cards for which you have a very strong preference (20 cards); in pile #2 put cards for which you have a definite but not as strong preference (20 cards); in pile #3 put cards for which you have a slight preference (8 cards); in pile #4 put cards for which you have no preference (4 cards --note aces or kings are not allowed in this pile!)

To use this program you will need to assemble input data. Both on the scorecard and later in data entry below...
a) ...for pile #1 / very strong preference cards, enter a "10" for the themes you have facing up; enter a "0" for the themes have have facing down" -- Note: you don't actually need to enter this second face down card score as "0" when using the keyboard for input below as 0 = default value!
b) ...for pile #2 / strong preference cards, enter a "8" for the themes you have facing up; enter a "2" for the themes have have facing down" 
c) ...for pile #3 / slight preference cards, enter a "6"  for the themes you have facing up; enter a "4" for the themes have have facing down" 
d)   ...for pile #4 cards / no preference , enter a "5"  for the themes on both sides. 
 
Running This Program: This program has two parts:
1) input data from the Scorecard, 2) receive % correlation as output and interpret 

==>CAUTION: Use the TAB key to advance as you enter input--DO NOT USE THE ENTER KEY!

PART ONE: INPUT DATA


INSTRUCTIONS: After completing your work on all of the 52 playing cards (following the directions and making four piles with the required number of cards in each) and entering scores on the scorecard, you will proceed as directed below. While this program has some built-in error checking to guard against faulty input, you must nonetheless be careful to enter the correct numbers. When finished you should have the following numbers of appropriately paired responses: 20 entries of Response = 10; 20 entries of Response = 0; 20 entries of Response = 8; 20 entries of Response = 2; 8 entries of Response = 6; 8 entries of Response = 4; 8 entries of Response = 5;

INTERPRETATION 
The scores will range from                                                         
    + 100 % ( greatest possible correlation between the worldviews) to
    - 100 % ( least possible correlation between the worldviews) 
+ scores ( > 0%) indicate some degree of positive correlation                       
very large + scores ( > 50%) indicate a substantial amount of positive correlation

-- scores ( < 0%) indicate some degree of negative correlation                                     
very large - scores ( < --50%) indicate a substantial amount of negative correlation       

DISCLAIMER -- While the methodology behind the above analysis of your worldview based on your 52 playing card choices has rigor and is based on both common sense and respected scholarly work, because both human beings, their worldviews and society are extraordinarily complex, and that accurately representing even a single individual's worldview is a daunting (probably impossible!) task, project Worldview makes no claims as to the ultimate accuracy of this analysis.   We are committed to steadily refining our framework and methodology for understanding, analyzing, and comparing / contrasting individual worldviews. We hope that these tools are useful and will respond to your inquiries regarding your use of them, and welcome your constructive suggestions. 

The Internal Consistency of Your Worldview
Your worldview has internal consistency= %. 
Maximum score is 100%, minimum score is 0%. The lower your score, the more work you'll need to do in understanding the source of the inconsistency. 

FLAGGING INTERNAL INCONSISTENCIES IN YOUR WORLDVIEW

The Internal Inconsistencies in Your Worldview appear in the long single row window below.

(TO VIEW COMPLETE LIST BELOW, SCROLL ACROSS TO RIGHT UNTIL "Attention list of inconsistencies now complete! APPEARS)

Identifying the inconsistency in terms of a specific contradiction between themes:  

    We expect most people to have at least a few inconsistencies since a very "large net" of possible theme conflicts has been used.  Some of those identified may indicate serious flaws in your understanding,  hypocrisy, etc. while others may be of little consequence and even expected given the ground covered by certain themes.
    To follow up with investigating the flagged inconsistencies, first get out your "Scorecard." If you have an inconsistency for a particular worldview theme, go to its worldview theme page and consult the list  labeled "worldview internal inconsistency related: Strongly valuing this theme and any of the themes in the list below is a contradiction" A contradiction between two themes is indicated when a theme flagged in this program's window output above is linked to a theme that you also "strongly valued".  In this case, your scorecard should show you scored 10 for both themes.  (Note: the theme choices page has links to all of the worldview theme pages.)
