Societal Lens Inventory

📅 02/05/2026

This inventory explores how you relate to social groups, authority, and group pressure. Through 15 brief scenarios and choices, it identifies whether your default responses lean toward inclusive tolerance, preference for order and tradition, or independent and critical stances. There are three answer types across questions; your dominant answer index (1, 2, or 3) indicates the profile that best describes your typical social attitude. Use the result to reflect on unconscious biases, conformity tendencies, and how you balance community values with personal principles.

A symbolic image of a person choosing between paths representing tolerance, tradition, and independent thought.
