Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Qore.
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.
What are the daily scenarios?
Qore's daily scenarios are branching moral dilemmas drawn from real-world events. Over 3 decision steps your choices escalate in stakes. After completing, Qore shows you wisdom perspectives from different schools of thought and how the wider community navigated the same situation.
What are the thinking styles?
Qore maps your thinking across 10 styles, each tied to a thinker who saw the world similarly: Virtue Ethicist (Aristotle), Pragmatist (John Dewey), Idealist (Plato), Stoic (Marcus Aurelius), Utilitarian (John Stuart Mill), Existentialist (Simone de Beauvoir), Communitarian (Confucius), Principled (Immanuel Kant), Care Ethicist (Carol Gilligan), and Contractualist (John Rawls).
How does my thinking profile evolve?
On Qore, your profile starts with your quiz results and shifts as you complete daily scenarios. Qore tracks how your thinking changes across ten values: Character, Inquiry, Truth, Resilience, Outcome, Authenticity, Harmony, Consistency, Compassion, and Equity.
How do streaks work?
On Qore, completing one scenario each day builds your streak. Miss a day and it resets, but you get two free streak freezes per month to absorb a 1-day break. Longer gaps can be covered by spending Kori.
How do album packs work?
After you complete 5 scenarios, you can spend 10 Kori to open an album pack. Each pack generates two AI-illustrated cards for a scenario you have already played; you keep one and the other is gone. Cards collect into a monthly album you can browse, with a chronological view across everything you have kept.
What data does Qore collect?
Qore collects your email (only if you sign up), your quiz responses, and your scenario choices. Qore uses anonymous first-party analytics with ephemeral session identifiers to improve the product. Qore never sells your data. See the privacy policy for full details.
Is Qore available in other languages?
Qore is currently English-only. Multi-language scenarios are planned for a future update.
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.
What's the difference between Qore and the political compass?
The political compass plots you on a 2D economic/social grid using policy-preference questions. Qore plots you across 10 independent moral-reasoning styles using behavioural choices in concrete dilemmas. Qore is about how you decide, not which political tribe you belong to. The dilemmas avoid partisan flashpoints by design.
Who founded Qore?
Qore is built by Adam Petritsis, an independent product designer and founder. Qore began as a personal experiment in turning ethics from a static label into a track record you accumulate.
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.
How does Qore use AI?
Qore uses AI to assist scenario authoring, drafting branching narratives and wisdom-perspective text that human editors then refine and validate against quality guidelines. Your quiz answers and scenario choices are scored by deterministic rules, not by an AI model. No personal data is sent to AI providers as part of scoring.
Can I delete my Qore account?
Yes. You can delete your account from Profile → Settings, in line with GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure). Deletion is immediate and irreversible: your personal data and any active subscription are removed at once. Anonymous aggregate data may be retained for research and product improvement.
