Roots & Wings

The Roots & Wings connector

Ask your AI "What are my values?". It asks you 15 quick either-or questions, scores your answers on 15 value spectrums, and, if you want, makes a card you can share or compare with anyone.

How it works

  1. Your AI asks for your first name (optional). It goes in your card's link.
  2. It shows you 15 either-or questions. You reply in one line, like 1A 2B 3A. Add ! for a strong preference and * where you've faced that choice in real life. Fifteen more are optional for a sharper card.
  3. If you ask it to suggest answers for you, it does, and you confirm or change each one. Only answers you gave or confirmed are used.
  4. You can add up to 7 rules you live by to show on your card.
  5. Before it makes your card, it asks you. Say no and it just tells you your leanings in the chat, and nothing is saved.

The 15 spectrums

Individualism or Collectivism. Capitalism or Communism. Holistic or Reductive. Internal-focused or External-focused. More control or Less control. People or Systems. Asceticism or Hedonism. Past-oriented or Future-oriented. Highly trusting or Highly cynical. Process-oriented or Outcome-oriented. High or Low risk tolerance. Tribalism or Universalism. Idealism or Utilitarianism. Global or Local. Specific or Abstract.

Roots look at what is there and keep it alive. Wings look for what is missing and build it. Your card shows where you sit on each spectrum and which way you lean overall. It's an early instrument for reflection and conversation, not a validated psychometric test, and not psychological advice.
