The idea
Under every belief sits a quieter question: how do you know that? Trust, math, one counterexample against a rule. We turned those into 51 either/or axes and asked 137 belief systems to answer them, from Socrates to the mystics. Their answers draw a map. The quiz walks you through 31 of those questions first; the rest sharpen the match if you want them. Yours finds your spot on the map, next to your closest neighbors.
What you get
You leave with a portrait of your own mind: what you trust, what you doubt, where you refuse to guess. Most people have never seen that shape written down. The fun is the jolt: that's me, I just never had the words.
How it's new
Political compasses sort you by what you believe. This map sorts you by how you know, which sits underneath. It is also built in the open: the communities were found by clustering, not picked by us; unsure is a real answer; matches count only questions you answered. Every experiment has its raw numbers in the methods appendix.
The honest limits
Each thinker's answers come from a language model playing their public positions, not their private minds. We picked the 51 axes ourselves. The full accounting lives in methods & limits.
31 questions across 137 belief systems, about five minutes; the map underneath uses 51 axes. Answer a few or all of them; your map updates as you go.
