You're on the forum... There is a you and there is a forum. The forum is comprised of people and their opinions. How are you interacting with the people on the forum? That can be answered using this model. This is separate from why you are on the forum. That would be an indication of your "Values". Rather this model is looking at the intention behind the things you say. Again, the model you're about to see is different from the "Cognition" or "Values". This model here is really looking in-depth at your intention when communicating not how you communicate. You could see this as a "Map Of Intentions Of Communication"  THIS MODEL ISOLATES THE "INTENTION OF COMMUNICATION" NOT "HOW" OR "WHAT" YOU COMMUNICATE. ONE: Your intention is to establish a power dynamic where you are dominant. (Trolling, belittling, hating etc...) TWO: Your intention is to conform, follow the tradition and preserve the norms.   THREE: Your intention is to prove someone else wrong (debunk), and show that you are right. Or you are playing up your self-image. FOUR: Your intention is to be gentle, connect, bond, and support. Tier 2 which isn't interested in playing a role like the other stages: FIVE: Your intention is to learn and understand. You are looking for new perspectives and insights. The aim is to create a better "understanding" or "map of reality". I think depending on your mood, the subject of discussion, or other factors you can alternate between the stages. So the "mode of operation" you use to interact with the people isn't fixed all the time. It is also possible to have combined Intentionality. Example: Learning and proving yourself right/superior. FIVE + THREE.   I developed this model myself recently so it is not complete. PM me if you have any input.   Moderators can use this model to discriminate between Trolls and Genuine users. If a user is constantly showing ONE/RED "Intention Of Communication" they're likely to be trolls.   Users of this forum can use this model to explain why someone said something a certain way, both inside and outside the forum.   Since I have SD stage GREENvalues.. For this forum I hope this model can be used to better your understanding of your own "Intentions Of Communication" and when that happens you automatically notice how petty you are at times and then decide to stop that, thus helping create a more harmonious and loving community one person at a time.
