A behavioral experiment in narrative alignment.
Measure your internal coherence in 7 minutes.
No diagnosis. No labels. Only orientation.
Research prototype. Your responses are anonymized.
Contradiction creates friction.
Friction creates fatigue.
Fatigue is not failure.
Most people operate with competing internal narratives. Decisions become inconsistent and energy disperses across incompatible directions.
Standard psychological tools offer diagnosis. Project Coherence offers orientation — a behavioral snapshot, not a label or clinical judgment.
The PCI maps alignment between values, habits, decisional patterns, and the social environment that sustains or erodes them.
Complete the 18-item PCI and 3 situational sliders. Estimated time: 7 minutes.
Receive a normalized Coherence Score with dimension breakdown across five behavioral axes.
Three non-prescriptive orientation actions calibrated to your score and dominant tension area.
"This test actually felt like it mapped my indecision. I expected a generic quiz. What I got was an uncomfortable mirror."
"The dimension breakdown was more useful than the total score — I could see exactly where the friction was coming from."
"The decision log recommendation changed how I operate. I tracked for 7 days. The patterns were obvious by day 3."
"I scored lower than I expected. It was uncomfortable. But then I looked at my actual week and it wasn't inaccurate."
The Personal Coherence Index is derived from research on narrative identity, decisional conflict theory, and behavioral consistency models. It is not a clinical diagnostic instrument.
