Seeking Deeper Understanding #084

SDTEST^® has 38 different VUCA polls that calculate the 13,643 correlation values between stages of development according to the theory of Spiral Dynamics and answer options of these 38 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 "Oxford Happiness Survey," we found an intriguing negative linear correlation that warrants closer examination:

-0.0712 (Pearson) between the I don't think that the world is a good place / Strongly Disagree and the Purple stage.

The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student), is r = 0.0501. Nevertheless, this negative linear correlation of -0.0712 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation. 

This negative correlation of -0.0712 between "I don't think that the world is a good place / Strongly Disagree" and the Purple stage offers intriguing insights when viewed through the lens of the Purple value system:

Organizational Perspective:

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

1. Validation of their ancestral wisdom-based approach, where the spiritual deterioration of the modern world threatens the sacred order and divine protection once provided by ancient ways
2. Confirmation that their traditional ceremonial practices recognize the world's spiritual corruption through abandonment of ritual observances and disrespect for supernatural forces
3. Evidence supporting their belief that the modern world's rejection of ancestral teachings and sacred customs has invited spiritual darkness and cosmic imbalance

These organizations might respond by:

• Implementing protective rituals and ceremonial practices to shield the tribal community from the harmful influences of the corrupted outside world
• Establishing stronger adherence to traditional customs and ancestral laws that maintain spiritual protection against worldly contamination
• Creating sacred boundaries through blessing ceremonies and spiritual purification that preserve the organization's connection to divine forces

Team Perspective:

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

1. Viewing it as an affirmation of their tribal unity, where collective spiritual protection is needed against the dangerous forces that have corrupted the modern world
2. Interpreting it as support for their belief that maintaining traditional practices and ritual observances protects the team from worldly evil and spiritual contamination
3. Seeing it as validation for prioritizing spiritual guidance and ancestral wisdom over modern approaches that have led to global spiritual decline

These teams might respond by:

• Conducting regular protective rituals and group ceremonies that strengthen spiritual bonds and ward off harmful worldly influences
• Encouraging team members to seek guidance from spiritual leaders and ancestral forces when confronted with evidence of worldly corruption
• Celebrating instances where traditional practices and ritual observances provide protection and meaning against the darkness of the modern world

Individual Perspective:

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

1. Personal validation of their spiritual sensitivity and their ability to perceive the supernatural forces of darkness that have corrupted the modern world
2. Evidence supporting their belief that maintaining a connection to ancestral spirits and traditional practices protects against worldly evil
3. Confirmation of the value they place on ritual observance and their understanding that the world's spiritual contamination threatens those without proper protection

These individuals might respond by:

• Actively seeking spiritual protection through prayer, ritual observance, and maintaining a connection with ancestral forces against worldly corruption
• Viewing their perception of worldly darkness as spiritual discernment that demonstrates their connection to divine wisdom
• Using traditional protective practices and ceremonial observances to maintain spiritual purity in a corrupted world

This correlation, viewed through the Purple lens, suggests that those operating at the Purple level are more likely to agree strongly that the world is not a good place. It implies that the Purple value system's emphasis on spiritual protection, ancestral wisdom, and supernatural awareness creates heightened sensitivity to the world's spiritual deterioration and moral corruption.

The reasons why people might strongly agree that the world is not a good place in the Purple stage could include:

1. Spiritual Corruption: Recognition that the modern world has abandoned sacred traditions and invited supernatural forces of darkness and evil
2. Ancestral Displacement: Understanding that departure from traditional ways and ancestral wisdom has created cosmic imbalance and spiritual contamination
3. Supernatural Threats: Awareness that evil spirits and harmful forces roam freely in a world that no longer maintains proper ritual protection
4. Sacred Deterioration: Perception that the breakdown of traditional customs and religious observances has removed divine protection from the world
5. Tribal Vulnerability: Recognition that the corruption of the outside world threatens the spiritual safety and sacred bonds of the tribal community

This correlation prompts us to consider how different value systems influence worldview and spiritual perception. It raises questions about the potential benefits of maintaining spiritual practices and ancestral connections in contexts where supernatural protection and traditional wisdom are viewed as essential for navigating a spiritually dangerous world.

Ultimately, this correlation highlights the complex interplay between spiritual beliefs, ancestral traditions, and worldview formation. The world might be seen not just as imperfect but as spiritually corrupted and dangerous, requiring constant ritual protection and ancestral guidance in Purple-dominant environments.

In our analysis of the poll "I live thinking about my past, present or future," we found an intriguing positive linear correlation that warrants closer examination:

0.0257 (Pearson) between the Past and the Red stage.

The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a non-normal distribution, by Spearman, is r = 0.0022. Nevertheless, this positive linear correlation of 0.0257 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation. 

This positive correlation of 0.0257 between "Past" and the Red stage offers intriguing insights when viewed through the lens of the Red value system, particularly when contrasted with the negative correlation with "Present" (-0.0944) and positive correlation with "Future" (0.0609):

Organizational Perspective:

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

1. Validation of their power-driven, dominance-focused approach, where past victories and conquests serve as evidence of their strength and superiority over competitors, while avoiding present-moment constraints that limit aggressive action
2. Confirmation that their aggressive, results-oriented culture celebrates previous battles won and territories claimed as demonstrations of organizational might, combined with future conquest planning that bypasses present-moment limitations
3. Evidence supporting their belief that reflecting on past triumphs reinforces their dominant position while future ambitions drive continued expansion, avoiding present-moment accountability or constraint

These organizations might respond by:

• Implementing strategic frameworks that leverage past victories as proof of capability while focusing on future market domination, deliberately avoiding present-moment analysis that might reveal vulnerabilities
• Establishing aggressive expansion plans rooted in historical success patterns while maintaining a future conquest mentality that transcends current limitations
• Creating competitive cultures where past achievements justify future aggressive moves while minimizing present-moment reflection that could constrain bold action

Team Perspective:

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

1. Viewing it as an affirmation of their warrior mentality, where past battles and victories define team identity, while future conquests motivate continued aggression, avoiding present-moment collaborative constraints
2. Interpreting it as support for their belief that reliving previous conquests reinforces team dominance while future planning enables continued competitive advantage, bypassing present-moment team harmony requirements
3. Seeing it as validation for prioritizing past glory and future ambitions over present-moment cooperation that might limit individual competitive expression

These teams might respond by:

• Engaging in strategic sessions that combine war stories from past victories with aggressive future planning, while avoiding present-moment team building that constrains individual dominance
• Encouraging team members to use past achievements as launching points for future competitive moves while minimizing present-moment consensus-building
• Celebrating instances where past successes inspire future aggressive strategies while avoiding present-moment accountability or collaborative constraint

Individual Perspective:

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

1. Personal validation of their aggressive, self-centered approach, where past victories define identity while future ambitions drive continued dominance, avoiding present-moment restrictions or consequences
2. Evidence supporting their belief that reliving previous conquests maintains a competitive edge while future planning enables continued power expansion, bypassing present-moment limitations
3. Confirmation of the value they place on past glory and future conquest while avoiding present-moment accountability that might constrain their aggressive impulses

These individuals might respond by:

• Actively dwelling on past victories while simultaneously planning future power moves, deliberately avoiding present-moment reflection that might limit aggressive action
• Viewing their temporal focus pattern as a strategic advantage that leverages historical success for future conquest while transcending present constraints
• Using past achievements as justification for future aggressive behavior while avoiding present-moment consideration of consequences or relationships

This correlation pattern, viewed through the Red lens, suggests that those operating at the Red level strategically utilize past focus combined with future orientation while avoiding present-moment constraints. The negative correlation with "Present" (-0.0944) indicates active avoidance of present-moment accountability, while the positive correlations with both "Past" (0.0257) and "Future" (0.0609) suggest a temporal strategy that leverages historical victories for future conquest.

The reasons why people might live thinking about their past while avoiding the present in the Red stage could include:

1. Strategic Temporal Navigation: Past victories provide identity reinforcement while future planning enables continued dominance, avoiding present-moment constraints that limit aggressive action
2. Consequence Avoidance: Present-moment focus might reveal uncomfortable realities or enforce accountability that constrains impulsive, aggressive behavior
3. Power Trajectory Maintenance: Past achievements justify future ambitions, while present-moment reflection might introduce doubt or collaborative requirements
4. Identity-Ambition Bridge: Past glory serves as a foundation for future conquest plans, while present-moment awareness might interrupt this aggressive trajectory
5. Constraint Transcendence: Avoiding present-moment limitations allows Red individuals to operate between past validation and future conquest without current restrictions

This correlation pattern prompts us to consider how different value systems utilize temporal orientation strategically. It raises questions about the potential benefits of this past-future focus for maintaining aggressive momentum while avoiding present-moment constraints that might limit competitive advantage in Red-dominant environments.

Ultimately, this correlation highlights the complex interplay between temporal strategy, aggressive identity maintenance, and constraint avoidance. The Red temporal pattern might be seen as a sophisticated power strategy that leverages historical success for future dominance while strategically avoiding present-moment accountability or limitation.

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

-0.3189 (Pearson) between the Racism and the Blue stage (France, 3 languages - not French).

The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student), is r = 0.2757. Nevertheless, this negative linear correlation of -0.3189 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation. 

This negative correlation of -0.3189 between "Racism" and the Blue stage (France, 3 languages - not French) offers intriguing insights when viewed through the lens of the Blue value system:

Organizational Perspective:

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

1. Validation of their institutional hierarchy approach, where legitimate concerns focus on structural issues like economic order, national security, and institutional authority rather than identity-based social problems
2. Confirmation that their traditional framework prioritizes established systems of law, governance, and moral order over contemporary social justice concepts that may disrupt institutional stability
3. Evidence supporting their belief that proper societal functioning depends on maintaining institutional discipline and traditional values rather than addressing divisive identity politics

These organizations might respond by:

• Implementing focus on institutional strengthening, economic stability, and governance effectiveness as primary organizational priorities over diversity and inclusion initiatives
• Establishing clear protocols that emphasize rule-based fairness and institutional procedures rather than race-conscious policies that may create institutional complexity
• Creating structured approaches to social issues that prioritize law and order, traditional values, and institutional authority over identity-focused problem-solving

Team Perspective:

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

1. Viewing it as an affirmation of their duty-focused approach, where team effectiveness depends on following proper procedures and maintaining institutional loyalty rather than addressing racial dynamics
2. Interpreting it as support for their belief that team cohesion comes through shared adherence to traditional values and institutional protocols rather than identity-based considerations
3. Seeing it as validation for prioritizing organizational discipline and rule-following over contemporary social justice concerns that may disrupt team hierarchy

These teams might respond by:

• Organizing team priorities around institutional objectives, procedural compliance, and traditional performance metrics rather than diversity and racial equity initiatives
• Encouraging team members to focus on fulfilling their assigned duties and maintaining institutional standards rather than addressing racial issues
• Celebrating instances where team members demonstrate loyalty to established procedures and traditional values rather than engaging in racial consciousness activities

Individual Perspective:

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

1. Personal validation of their traditional, duty-bound approach, where proper citizenship focuses on institutional loyalty and moral discipline rather than racial activism
2. Evidence supporting their belief that societal problems are best addressed through traditional institutions, law enforcement, and moral authority rather than race-focused solutions
3. Confirmation of the value they place on established order and their preference for addressing problems through proper channels and traditional methods

These individuals might respond by:

• Actively prioritizing concerns about institutional stability, economic security, and traditional values over racial issues that may seem divisive or disruptive
• Viewing their focus on traditional problems as a demonstration of proper civic responsibility and institutional loyalty
• Using established institutional frameworks and traditional problem-solving approaches rather than engaging with contemporary racial consciousness movements

This correlation, viewed through the Blue lens, suggests that those operating at the Blue level in France (among non-French speakers) are less likely to identify racism as the biggest problem facing their country. It implies that the Blue value system's emphasis on institutional order, traditional values, and hierarchical authority creates different problem prioritization that focuses on structural and institutional concerns.

The reasons why racism might not be seen as the biggest problem in the Blue stage could include:

1. Institutional Priority: Focus on maintaining established systems of governance, law, and traditional order takes precedence over identity-based social issues
2. Traditional Framework: Problems are understood through conventional categories like economics, security, and moral order rather than contemporary social justice concepts
3. Hierarchical Stability: Emphasis on maintaining institutional authority and social discipline over addressing divisive identity politics that may disrupt order
4. Procedural Focus: Belief that existing institutions and traditional methods provide adequate frameworks for addressing social problems without special race-conscious approaches
5. Moral Authority: Trust in established religious, legal, and governmental institutions to address societal problems through traditional moral and legal frameworks

This correlation prompts us to consider how different value systems influence problem identification and priority setting in diverse societies. It raises questions about the potential tensions between institutional stability and identity-focused social justice, particularly in contexts where traditional authority and established order are highly valued.

Ultimately, this correlation highlights the complex interplay between cultural values, institutional loyalty, and social problem prioritization. Racism might be seen not as irrelevant but as less pressing compared to institutional and traditional concerns that are viewed as fundamental to societal stability in Blue-dominant environments.

In our analysis of the poll "Does ageism exist?" we found an intriguing positive linear correlation that warrants closer examination:

0.0783 (Pearson) between the No, ageism doesn't exist within my family and community, and the Orange stage.

The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a normal distribution, by William Sealy Gosset (Student), is r = 0.0733. Nevertheless, this positive linear correlation of 0.0783 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation.

This positive correlation of 0.0783 between "No, ageism doesn't exist within my family and community" and the Orange stage offers compelling insights when viewed through the lens of the Orange value system:

Organizational Perspective:

• Using the financial trade-off as an opportunity to model sustainable living and demonstrate that fulfillment comes from sources beyond monetary wealth
• Viewing remote work as a pathway to deeper family connections, local community engagement, and reduced environmental footprint

This correlation, viewed through the Green lens, suggests that those operating at the Green level may be more willing to accept financial trade-offs for work arrangements that align with their holistic value system. It implies that the Green value system's emphasis on sustainability, community, and authentic relationships creates a framework where monetary compensation becomes secondary to broader life fulfillment.

The reasons why people might be ready to receive less pay to work remotely in the Green stage could include:

1. Environmental Consciousness: Remote work significantly reduces carbon footprint through eliminating commuting and decreasing office resource consumption
2. Community Integration: Working from home allows deeper engagement with the local community, family relationships, and neighborhood ecosystems
3. Holistic Well-being: Valuing mental health, work-life balance, and authentic self-expression over purely financial metrics
4. Systems Thinking: Understanding that personal choices impact collective well-being and modeling sustainable practices for broader social transformation
5. Authentic Relationships: Prioritizing genuine human connections and collaborative partnerships over competitive, money-driven career advancement

This correlation prompts us to consider how post-modern, community-oriented value systems influence economic decision-making. It raises questions about whether Green-stage individuals are pioneering new models of success that integrate personal fulfillment, environmental responsibility, and collective well-being.

Ultimately, this correlation highlights the complex interplay between evolving consciousness, sustainable living practices, and redefined measures of prosperity. From a Green perspective, accepting lower pay for remote work might be seen not as a financial sacrifice but as an investment in planetary health, community resilience, and authentic human flourishing that transcends traditional economic paradigms.

In our analysis of the poll "What makes a boss a great leader?" we found an intriguing positive linear correlation that warrants closer examination:

0.4746 (Pearson) between the Empowering their people and the Yellow stage (Italy, Italian).

The critical value of the correlation coefficient for a non-normal distribution, by Spearman, is r = 0.1624. Nevertheless, this positive linear correlation of 0.4746 meets the reliability criteria but does not necessarily imply causation. 

This positive correlation of 0.4746 between "Empowering their people" and the Yellow stage (Italy, Italian) offers remarkable insights when viewed through the lens of the Yellow value system:

Organizational Perspective:

Companies operating within the Yellow mindset might interpret this correlation as:

1. Validation of their integrative approach that recognizes leadership as an emergent property of complex adaptive systems rather than hierarchical control
2. Confirmation that their multi-perspective organizational design naturally cultivates distributed leadership capabilities across all levels and cultural contexts
