Seeking Deeper Understanding #003

SDTEST® has 28 different VUCA polls that calculate the 9,191 correlation values between stages of development according to the theory of Spiral Dynamics and answer options of these 28 polls.


We invite curiosity about the systemic mechanisms behind this correlation. There may be hidden variables that provide alternative explanations.


In our analysis of the poll "Trust (by WVS)," (How you feel about the in your country?), we found an intriguing positive correlation that warrants closer examination:  


0.0937 between the Is generally free of corruption / Agree strongly and the Purple stage. 


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0718. This positive correlation of 0.0937 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.



This positive correlation of 0.0937 between a strong agreement that one's country is free of corruption and identification with the Purple vMeme reveals intriguing insights about traditional community psychology. 


At first glance, the correlation seems counterintuitive - we may assume that hierarchical power dynamics of ancestral tribes would enable corrupt exploitation. However, within tightly knit Purple groups bonded by ritual and shared mythological beliefs, perhaps exploitation by leadership seems impossible. 


Who is one to question if the chief or elder council holds god-like authority? And when survival depends intensely on group belonging, the thought of speaking out likely feels unfathomable. The correlation hints that corruption may only register once independence of thought and willingness to critique authority emerge in later vMemes.



In our analysis of the poll "Oxford Happiness Survey," we found an intriguing positive correlation that warrants closer examination:  


0.1415 between the I have very warm feelings towards almost everyone / Strongly Disagree and the Red stage. 


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a non-normal distribution, by Spearman r = 0.0025. This positive correlation of 0.1415 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.



This positive correlation of 0.1415 makes intrinsic sense given the Red vMeme's raw exertion of power and self-interest over communal concerns. Those perceiving life through a Red lens are wired as warriors, seeking to dominate adversaries rather than warmly embrace humanity.


The Red worldview arises when trying to break free and assert oneself over suffocating tribes; seeking liberation, Red psychology fractures social constraints to unleash fierce independence. Consideration of others proves secondary amidst the pressing quest for glory, conquest, and satiation of desire.



In our analysis of the poll "Psychological Wellbeing (by Carol D. Ryff)" (Personal growth), we found an intriguing positive correlation that warrants closer examination:  


0.0903 between the I think it is important to have new experiences that challenge how you think about yourself and the world / Somewhat disagree and Blue stage. 


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0563. This positive correlation of 0.0903 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.



This positive correlation of 0.0903 reveals an interesting tension within Blue orderliness - while duty and moral law provide identity security, some moderate openness helps uphold group integrity over time. Clinging too rigidly to static doctrines risks destabilization.


The Blue quest for meaning finds answers in the certainty of rules, customs, and hierarchies set from on high. Thus, wariness toward questioning tenets makes sense; transformation may undermine all that stabilizes society. 


Yet progressive reforms across history show even the most traditionalist institutions must eventually adapt to changing conditions at society’s margins. Thus Blue may tolerate some measured exploration, lest orthodoxies grow utterly detached from emerging realities.



In our analysis of the poll "Where would be your next most exciting opportunity?" we found an intriguing positive correlation that warrants closer examination:  


0.1282 between the International Market leader and the Orange stage.


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0643. This positive correlation of 0.1282 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation. 



This positive correlation of 0.1282 makes sense given the Orange drive toward progress and achievement by competing rationally in a meritocratic system. Those identifying with Orange aim to strategically excel according to analytics-based best practices, seizing widening opportunities and platforms to demonstrate functional mastery.


Thus, the prospect of contributing efficiencies to renowned international corporations resonates strongly; scaling one's concrete impacts through well-resourced industry giants aligns with the Orange quest for visible, measurable influence through competence. The opportunity to shape global systems also appeals to knowledge-driven Orange mentalities.



In our analysis of the poll "What will you do this week to look after your mental health?" we found an intriguing positive correlation that warrants closer examination:  


0.0771 between the Connect with Others and the Green stage. 


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0756. This positive correlation of 0.0771 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation. 



This positive correlation of 0.0771 resonates with the Green worldview's orientation toward social interconnectedness and community coherence. Seeing life through a lens of holism, Green psychology recognizes empathic relationships as integral to wellness and meaning.


The Green drive for bonding flows from an expansive sense of self interdependently nested within widening circles of identity. Thus, taking time to connect authentically with trusted others nourishes not only individuals but also the larger web of being. It rejuvenates through togetherness.



In our analysis of the poll "Ageism in life" (Have you seen someone else being treated differently because of their age?), we found an intriguing positive correlation that warrants closer examination:  


0.0956 between the Yes, I have seen someone being treated unfairly because of their age and the Yellow stage.


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0882. This positive correlation of 0.0956 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.



This positive correlation of 0.0956 highlights the Yellow value system's multidimensional thinking in assessing complex cultural dynamics that frequently escape notice. Viewing society through an integrative lens, Yellow psychology perceives subtle prejudices propagating across social ecosystems in ways that restrict dignity and potential.


Seeing interconnected systems, Yellow consciousness feels empathy for marginalized groups and seeks to address root causes perpetuating harms - whether through personal growth intersecting with activism or pioneering new inclusive models. They feel compelled toward equitable solutions even amidst family or community traditions that normalize exclusion.



In our analysis of the poll "A.I. and the end of civilization (Elon Musk)," we found an intriguing negative correlation that warrants closer examination:  


-0.1006 between the State should exercise control over the development of the artificial intelligence / Strongly agree and Turquoise stage. 


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0941. This negative correlation of -0.1006 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation. 



This negative correlation of -0.1006 reveals the Turquoise tendency toward decentralized governance enabling autonomous innovation for the greater good. As the most interconnected, holistic stage, Turquoise thinkers understand complex systems are best served through distributed coordination - like ecosystems self-regulating through collective intelligence. 


While risks exist in rapidly evolving technologies, diversity and responsibility may outpace command control. Thus, Turquoise psychology leans away from unilateral state interference, nurturing social patterns and educational cultures and fostering ethics and wisdom within advancement. Progress and conscience align through shared values in just systems.


However, nuance exists here; unbridled speeds of change challenge even integrative mentalities. And not all innovations bring collective benefit without oversight. We must unpack systemic complexities through many lenses before reaching firm conclusions.



What insights do you gain from today's correlation? How might we study this relationship more carefully before deducing causation? We welcome respectful and wise perspectives! 


Stay tuned every week as we share more results and insights.
