Quick Test FAQ

How to interpret Decency Meter quick-test results and share them clearly.

What does my score mean?

Your score reflects how your answers align with the current weighted civility model. It is a directional signal, not a diagnosis.

Can I compare scores across dates?

Yes, but use caution. Question wording, weighting, and sample mix can evolve. Compare along with timestamp and version context.

Does a low score mean someone is a bad person?

No. The quick test evaluates responses to prompts, not a full person or legal standing.

How is this different from the full survey?

The quick test is optimized for speed. The full research survey collects broader context used for deeper analysis.

Where can I learn the underlying method?

Read methodology and review the public framework papers for model details.
