A real scenario. Make a call, see what it says about you.
why qore is different
Most quizzes label you once. Qore keeps score.
A personality test asks how you see yourself, hands you a type, and calls it done. Qore watches what you actually decide when the stakes climb, day after day, and shows you the pattern you did not know you had.
Behaviour, not self-report
No "rate yourself 1 to 5." You make real calls inside branching dilemmas, and your choices do the talking.
A profile that moves
A four-letter type freezes the moment you finish. Your Qore profile shifts across ten values every day you play.
Mapped to real thinkers
Instead of a made-up code, your choices line up with thinkers like Aristotle, Kant, and de Beauvoir who reasoned the same way.
How you decide, not just what
Overthinker, or decisive under pressure? Qore reads the way you move through a choice, your speed and the fights you dodge, not just the values behind it.
the ten schools
Ten ways of deciding. You already use one.
- Virtue Ethicist (Aristotle)
- Good choices come from good character and practical wisdom. You develop judgment through experience, not theory — reading the situation and aiming for the wisest path, not the most efficient one.
- Pragmatist (John Dewey)
- You test what works in practice and revise when evidence changes. False binaries frustrate you — you'd rather experiment, learn, and adapt than commit to a rigid framework.
- Idealist (Plato)
- You believe in higher principles that transcend circumstances. For you, doing the right thing isn't situational — some truths hold regardless of outcome.
- Stoic (Marcus Aurelius)
- You focus on what you can control and accept what you cannot. Duty, virtue, and inner resilience guide your path through difficult choices.
- Utilitarian (John Stuart Mill)
- You seek the greatest good for the greatest number. Outcomes matter most — a choice is right if it produces the best consequences overall.
- Existentialist (Simone de Beauvoir)
- Freedom is situated and relational — your freedom is bound up with the freedom of others. Authenticity means embracing life's ambiguity, not escaping into abstract individualism.
- Communitarian (Confucius)
- You see individuals as part of a web of relationships and obligations. Harmony, duty to others, and social bonds shape how you navigate dilemmas.
- Principled (Immanuel Kant)
- You trust reason and universal principles. If a rule can't apply to everyone equally, it's not a good rule — consistency and logic are your compass.
- Care Ethicist (Carol Gilligan)
- Moral questions are about relationships and responsibility. Who is vulnerable? Who needs care? For you, the right choice responds to real human needs — not the one that follows the neatest logic.
- Contractualist (John Rawls)
- Fair rules are the ones you'd agree to if you didn't know your own position. Justice means designing systems that work for everyone, especially those worst off.

Common questions
What is Qore?
Qore is a daily thinking-quiz platform where your intellectual identity is built through action. Qore combines a 7-question thinking quiz, daily branching moral scenarios, and a progressive thinking profile that evolves with every choice you make.
How does the quiz work?
Qore's thinking quiz presents 7 second-person moral dilemmas that take about 2 minutes to complete. No signup is required. Your answers are scored across 10 independent values to determine your primary thinking style.
Is Qore free?
Qore is free. The thinking quiz, daily scenarios, your thinking profile, and streaks are all free to use. A premium tier (Qore+) is coming soon for power users; the free tier remains genuinely useful, not a limited demo.
Is Qore like 16Personalities or MBTI?
Qore is not a personality test. Whereas 16Personalities and MBTI sort you into a fixed type from a one-time questionnaire, Qore measures how you actually decide under pressure, across many days and many scenarios, and the profile shifts as your behaviour does. The output is a thinking style mapped to a school of thought (e.g. Stoic, Utilitarian), not a four-letter type.
Can Qore tell if I'm an overthinker?
Yes, in a way. Beyond your thinking style, Qore builds a "How You Decide" profile from the way you actually play: how long you keep weighing a choice after reading it, how fast you commit when a clock is running, and how often you take the exit that avoids a fight. It surfaces four decision traits, Overthinker, Decisive Under Pressure, Avoids Conflict, and People-Pleaser, each earned from your real choices rather than a self-rating. The traits unlock as you complete more scenarios, so they sharpen the more you play.
Is Qore scientifically validated?
Qore's framework draws on peer-reviewed moral-psychology research including Schwartz's basic human values, Moral Foundations Theory, and the ethics-of-care tradition. The exact mapping from user choices to thinking styles is being calibrated against the live user base. Qore reports profiles as working hypotheses that sharpen with more data, not as clinical diagnoses.
