Seeking Deeper Understanding #033

SDTEST® has 36 different VUCA polls that calculate the 13,034 correlation values between stages of development according to the theory of Spiral Dynamics and answer options of these 36 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 "Actions of companies in relation to personnel in the last month (Y / N)," we found an intriguing positive correlation that warrants closer examination:  


0.0557 between the Reduced staff and the Purple stage. 

The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0556. This positive correlation of 0.0557 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.


This positive correlation of 0.0557 offers a reaction to the life conditions motivating staff reductions in the Purple value system. In the Purple value system, staff reductions might be motivated by perceived threats to the tribe's spiritual and cultural integrity. 

These life conditions could include:

  1. Environmental challenges: Droughts, floods, or other natural disasters are signs of spiritual displeasure, necessitating a "purification" of the workforce.
  2. Cultural encroachment: Pressures from modernization or competing value systems leading to a desire to reduce staff to a core group of tradition-keepers.
  3. Spiritual omens: Unusual events or phenomena interpreted as messages from ancestral spirits, prompting a realignment of the tribal structure.
  4. Cyclical beliefs: Traditional concepts of necessary periods of contraction and renewal are reflected in staff reductions.
  5. Ritual necessity: The need to perform significant tribal rites that require a smaller, more cohesive group.
In this context, staff reductions are not primarily economic decisions but responses to perceived spiritual and cultural imperatives. The organization might see these actions as necessary to maintain harmony with ancestral forces, preserve tribal identity, and ensure long-term survival in a world governed by mystical forces.

Organizational Perspective:


Organizations operating within the Purple mindset might interpret staff reduction as:
  1. A necessary response to signs from ancestral spirits indicating a need for change.
  2. A way to maintain balance and harmony within the tribal structure of the organization.
  3. A means of purging those who may have violated sacred taboos or traditions.
These organizations might justify staff reductions by:
  • Citing visions or prophecies from respected elders or shamanic figures within the company.
  • Framing it as a sacrifice to appease spiritual forces and ensure continued prosperity for the tribe.
  • Emphasizing the need to preserve core tribal members who uphold traditional values and practices.

Team Perspective:


Teams operating from a Purple mindset might view staff reductions as:
  1. A test of the team's spiritual strength and cohesion.
  2. An opportunity to reinforce tribal bonds by supporting those who remain.
  3. A way to eliminate members who may have brought the group terrible luck or negative energy.
These teams might rationalize staff reductions by:
  • Interpreting them as part of cyclical patterns foretold in ancestral myths or legends.
  • Viewing them as a means to strengthen the team by retaining only the most loyal and tradition-honoring members.
  • They are seen as a way to restore balance disrupted by perceived violations of sacred norms or rituals.

Individual Perspective:


Individuals aligned with the Purple value system might perceive staff reductions as:
  1. A form of tribal initiation or rite of passage, separating the truly committed from others.
  2. A result of personal or collective transgressions against ancestral laws or taboos.
  3. An opportunity to demonstrate unwavering loyalty to the tribe and its traditions.
These individuals might explain staff reductions by:
  • Attributing them to the will of ancestral spirits or deities guiding the organization.
  • Viewing them as a natural culling process to preserve the purity and strength of the tribal workforce.
  • Interpreting them due to failing to honor traditions or perform necessary rituals properly.

This perspective invites us to consider how deeply held beliefs and traditions can influence organizational decisions and their acceptance. It raises questions about the role of spirituality and ancestral guidance in modern workforce management: How do Purple-oriented organizations balance traditional beliefs with practical business needs? How might this worldview impact employee morale and loyalty during times of reduction?

Ultimately, this correlation highlights the complex interplay between ancient tribal mentalities and contemporary business practices. In the Purple worldview, staff reductions might be seen not merely as economic necessities but as spiritually significant events that reinforce tribal cohesion, uphold sacred traditions, and align the organization with the perceived will of ancestral forces.



In our analysis of the poll "Biggest problems facing my country," we found an intriguing positive correlation that warrants closer examination:  


0.1017 between the Illegal immigration and the Red stage. 


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a non-normal distribution, by Spearman r = 0.002. This positive correlation of 0.1017 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.



This positive correlation of 0.1017 between illegal immigration concerns and the Red stage offers provocative insights when viewed through the lens of the Red value system:


Organizational Perspective:


Organizations operating within the Red mindset might interpret this correlation as:

  1. Validation of their aggressive stance against perceived threats to their power and territory.
  2. An opportunity to assert dominance and control over resources and opportunities.
  3. Justification for implementing ruthless policies to protect their interests.

These organizations might respond by:

  • Aggressively lobbying for stricter immigration policies to maintain their power structure.
  • Exploiting the situation to gain more control and influence within their industry or market.
  • Using the issue as a rallying cry to consolidate power and eliminate competitors who don't share their views.


Team Perspective:


Teams operating from a Red mindset might approach this correlation by:

  1. Viewing it as a call to action to outperform and dominate other teams or departments.
  2. Interpreting it as a license to take aggressive measures against perceived outsiders or threats.
  3. Seeing it as an opportunity to prove their strength and value to the organization.

These teams might respond by:

  • Implementing cutthroat tactics to secure resources and opportunities for themselves.
  • Actively undermining or sabotaging teams they see as sympathetic to immigrants or opposing views.
  • Using the issue to assert dominance and gain favor with influential organizational figures.


Individual Perspective:


Individuals aligned with the Red value system might interpret this correlation as:

  1. Personal validation of their aggressive attitudes towards perceived outsiders.
  2. An opportunity to assert dominance and gain personal advantages.
  3. Justification for taking impulsive actions to protect their interests.

These individuals might respond by:

  • Aggressively pursuing personal gains, regardless of the impact on others or long-term consequences.
  • Challenging or intimidating colleagues they perceive as threats or as sympathetic to immigrants.
  • Using the issue as a platform to gain attention, power, or resources within their organization or community.


This correlation, viewed through the Red lens, suggests that those operating at the Red level may be more inclined to view illegal immigration as a direct threat to their power and self-interest. It implies that the Red value system's characteristics of impulsiveness, self-centeredness, and desire for dominance align with a more aggressive and confrontational approach to the issue of illegal immigration.


Ultimately, this correlation speaks to the complex relationship between human instincts and societal challenges. It reminds us that in the Red worldview, the potential for immediate power and dominance may outweigh considerations of long-term societal impacts or ethical concerns. This perspective might lead to more confrontational and aggressive approaches to immigration policy, driven by a desire to assert control and protect perceived self-interests rather than seeking nuanced, collaborative solutions.



In our analysis of the poll "My Greatest Fears," we found an intriguing negative correlation that warrants closer examination:  


-0.0588 between the Tougher regimes and the Blue stage. 


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0341. This negative correlation of -0.0588 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation. 



This negative correlation of -0.0588 between the fear of tougher regimes and the Blue stage offers intriguing insights when viewed through the lens of the Blue value system, particularly regarding the lack of fear despite potential unfairness:


Organizational Perspective:


Organizations operating within the Blue mindset might interpret this lack of fear as:

  1. A sign of their unwavering faith in the rightness of established authority, even if imperfect.
  2. Confidence that following rules and traditions will protect them, regardless of regime changes.
  3. Belief that any rule tightening aligns with their values of order and discipline.

These organizations might justify their lack of fear by:

  • Emphasizing that stricter regimes reinforce the moral order they believe in.
  • Viewing potential unfairness as a necessary sacrifice for the greater good and societal stability.
  • Trusting their loyal adherence to rules will be rewarded, even under more challenging conditions.


Team Perspective:


Teams operating from a Blue mindset might rationalize the lack of fear by:

  1. Seeing more authoritarian regimes as an opportunity to prove their loyalty and worthiness.
  2. Believing that stricter rules will eliminate ambiguity and create a more predictable work environment.
  3. Trusting that their disciplined approach will allow them to thrive under any conditions.

These teams might explain their stance by:

  • Viewing increased control as a means to eliminate perceived threats to traditional values.
  • Believing that tighter regimes will reward those who diligently follow the rules.
  • Seeing potential unfairness as a test of their commitment to organizational principles.


Individual Perspective:


Individuals aligned with the Blue value system might justify their lack of fear by:

  1. Believing that their righteousness will protect them from unfair treatment.
  2. Seeing stricter regimes as a return to proper order and moral clarity.
  3. Trusting that obedience and loyalty will be recognized and rewarded, regardless of the regime's fairness.

These individuals might explain their position by:

  • Viewing potential unfairness as necessary to maintain social order and morality.
  • Believing that more authoritarian regimes will punish those who deviate from accepted norms, which they see as just.
  • Trusting in a higher purpose or divine plan that justifies temporary hardships or inequities.


In the Blue value system, the lack of fear towards more authoritarian regimes, even potentially unfair ones, stems from a deep-seated belief in the righteousness of authority and the importance of order. This perspective is rooted in:

  1. Moral Certainty: A strong belief that following established rules and traditions is inherently right, regardless of outcomes.
  2. Faith in Authority: Trust that those in power are guided by higher principles and act for the greater good.
  3. Desire for Stability: Preference for predictable, structured environments, even if restrictive.
  4. Sense of Righteousness: Belief that personal adherence to rules provides protection and favor.
  5. Acceptance of Hierarchy: Comfort with clear power structures and willingness to submit to authority.


This viewpoint invites us to consider how deeply ingrained beliefs about order and morality can influence perceptions of societal control. It raises questions about the relationship between personal values and acceptance of authority: How does a solid moral framework shape reactions to potentially unfair governance? To what extent does the desire for order override concerns about individual rights or fairness?


Ultimately, this correlation highlights the complex interplay between value systems and attitudes towards societal structures. In the Blue worldview, the perceived benefits of order, moral clarity, and adherence to tradition may outweigh concerns about potential unfairness or restrictions on personal freedom. This perspective might lead to a more accepting attitude towards stricter regimes, driven by a belief in the ultimate rightness of established authority and the importance of maintaining societal order.



In our analysis of the poll "What qualities and abilities do good leaders use when building successful teams?" we found an intriguing negative correlation that warrants closer examination:  


-0.1869 between the Empathetic and the Orange stage.


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0411. This negative correlation of -0.1869 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.  



This negative correlation of -0.1869 between valuing empathy in leadership and the Orange stage offers intriguing insights when viewed through the lens of the Orange value system:


Organizational Perspective:


Organizations operating within the Orange mindset might interpret this correlation as:

  1. Validation of their results-driven approach to leadership and team building.
  2. Evidence that focusing on objective metrics and performance yields better outcomes than emotional considerations.
  3. Justification for prioritizing efficiency and productivity over interpersonal dynamics.

These organizations might respond by:

  • Implementing more data-driven performance evaluation systems.
  • Investing in technological solutions to streamline operations and reduce reliance on interpersonal skills.
  • Developing leadership training programs that emphasize strategic thinking and analytical skills over emotional intelligence.


Team Perspective:


Teams operating from an Orange mindset might approach this correlation by:

  1. Viewing it as confirmation that goal-oriented leadership is more effective than empathy-based approaches.
  2. Interpreting it as a call to focus more on measurable outcomes and less on team dynamics.
  3. Seeing it as an opportunity to optimize team performance through rational, systematic methods.

These teams might respond by:

  • Implementing more rigorous project management and tracking systems.
  • Encouraging competition among team members to drive innovation and productivity.
  • Prioritizing skill development in data analysis and strategic planning over soft skills.


Individual Perspective:


Individuals aligned with the Orange value system might interpret this correlation as:

  1. Personal validation of their logical, goal-oriented approach to leadership and teamwork.
  2. An opportunity to advance by demonstrating their analytical and strategic capabilities.
  3. Confirmation that emotional factors are less critical to success than objective performance metrics.

These individuals might respond by:

  • Focusing on developing their technical and analytical skills rather than emotional intelligence.
  • Seeking leadership roles that emphasize strategic decision-making and results-driven management.
  • Advocating for performance-based evaluation systems in their organizations.


This correlation, viewed through the Orange lens, suggests that those operating at the Orange level may place less value on empathy as a leadership quality, preferring to focus on measurable outcomes and rational decision-making. It implies that the Orange value system's characteristics of ambition, rationality, and goal orientation align with a more pragmatic, less emotionally driven approach to leadership and team building.


Ultimately, this correlation shows the complex relationship between leadership styles and organizational culture. It reminds us that quantifiable results and strategic thinking may be valued more highly in the Orange worldview than emotional intelligence or interpersonal skills. This perspective might lead to leadership approaches prioritizing achievement and innovation over emotional connection or team cohesion.



In our analysis of the poll "The main priorities of job seekers," we found an intriguing negative correlation that warrants closer examination:  


-0.0947 between the Financial stability of the employer and the Green stage. 


The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student) r = 0.0626. This negative correlation of -0.0947 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.

  2. Interpreting it as a call to focus more on team cohesion, shared values, and collective growth.
  3. Seeing it as an opportunity to innovate to create value beyond financial metrics.

These teams might respond by:

  • Implementing more inclusive decision-making processes that consider diverse perspectives.
  • Encouraging projects that have positive social or environmental impacts.
  • Prioritizing team-building activities that foster a sense of community and shared purpose.


Individual Perspective:


Individuals aligned with the Green value system might interpret this correlation as:

  1. Personal validation of their desire to work for organizations that align with their values and contribute to societal good.
  2. An opportunity to advocate for more holistic approaches to organizational success and employee satisfaction.
  3. Confirmation that their priorities of personal growth, community, and making a positive impact are shared by others.

These individuals might respond by:

  • Seeking roles in organizations that demonstrate strong sustainability and commitment to social responsibility.
  • Advocating for workplace policies that promote inclusivity, diversity, and work-life balance.
  • Prioritizing personal development and community engagement alongside career advancement.


This correlation, viewed through the Green lens, suggests that those operating at the Green level may emphasize less on an employer's financial stability as a primary factor in job seeking. It implies that the Green value system's holistic thinking, community focus, and concern for global well-being align with a more comprehensive view of what makes an employer attractive.


Ultimately, this correlation speaks to the complex interplay between individual values, organizational culture, and societal trends. It reminds us that in the Green worldview, the potential for personal growth, community connection, and positive global impact may outweigh considerations of pure financial stability. This perspective might shift how organizations define and communicate their value propositions to potential employees, moving beyond financial metrics to encompass a more holistic view of organizational health and impact.
