Where meaning comes from
Where you think meaning originates.
The plain question
Does life's meaning come to you, or does it come from you?
The poles
- Discovered
- Meaning is out there to be found — in nature, reason, or how things really are.
- Created
- Meaning is made, not found; you author it.
- Received
- Meaning is given — through tradition, faith, community, or a source beyond you.
What it does not measure
Not whether your life feels meaningful right now — it's about where you think meaning comes from.
An axis is a spectrum, not a box. A reading places your answers toward a pole — and only when you said enough to place them; otherwise it leaves the axis open.
