First see the whole map, then confirm where you are right now.
Starting from the Human Cognition Plaza, check separately what you are viewing now, your active focus, accumulated footprints and independent knowledge samples. Together they provide context for your position, but they are not interpreted as a ranking of intelligence, education or ability, and they are not compressed into a single total score.

POSITION PROFILE · V5.1 · FOUR INDEPENDENT LAYERS
Your position is a set of verifiable footprints, not an ability score
"Viewing" only reflects map navigation. Active focus, catalog browsing, saved frontiers and knowledge answers are independent of one another, and no click is ever recast as your level of knowledge.

FIRST PERSON · Your viewpoint
This light only shows where you have been; it does not score you
Focus forms a compass, browsing leaves footprints, and saving lights frontier beacons. Knowledge answers are shown separately and play no part in spatial position.

KNOWLEDGE EVIDENCE LAB
Knowledge evidence lab
Each of the eight domains offers 4 editorial draft questions. Mark 50%, 70% or 90% confidence first, then submit your answer. Only your first answer counts as local evidence, and the explanation appears only after you answer.
All answers are saved only in this browser and are not sent to the server; clearing the site's local records deletes them too.
Matter & Cosmos
Matter & Cosmos
Each question allows only one valid submission. Small-sample results describe only this question set and are not used for comparisons between domains or for personal rankings.
Public measurement methods and limitations +
Observation preference: Your current sketch is "Not selected yet / Not selected yet / Not selected yet". It describes only your reading entry point and is not used to calculate footprints or knowledge samples.
Catalog browsing: Records only the unique knowledge areas you actually opened; "2/4" means you have viewed 2 of 4 catalog entries, not a degree of mastery.
Footprint layers: Active focus, catalog browsing and saved frontiers are stored separately. The thickness of a light ray on the map shows only how many kinds of signal a domain has; it does not produce a weighted total score, and it does not compress opposite directions into a single personal coordinate.
Knowledge evidence: Comes only from first valid responses in the current question bank version, which cannot be overwritten. Searching, reading and saving do not add answer-key matches and do not change navigation footprints.
Limitations: The current question bank is still an editorial draft with 0 independent answer reviews, and has no population norms, ability rankings, test-retest reliability, construct validity or cross-cultural fairness validation. Questions differ across domains and samples are very small, so comparing or ranking across domains is not allowed. This feature is not an intelligence, personality, educational, medical or psychological diagnostic tool.
OPTIONAL PREFERENCEAdjust observation preference
Three optional steps that describe only your starting point, time horizon and way of participating; they are not used to calculate your position or knowledge evidence. Completed: 0/3.
