Decision IQ / decision defenseSign in

Mode 01 · Self audit

Are you easy
to manipulate?

Skilled persuaders don't argue with your logic. They aim at fear, status, your neurochemical state, a trained reflex, or identity — whichever one you defend least. Tell Decision IQ about one real decision, answer a few questions, and get a graded report on where you're exposed and how to close the gap.

What kind of thing is this?

See how it works

Six to nine questions. Roughly four minutes. No account needed to start.

The loop

The audit is one mode, and a diagnosis on its own changes nothing. Everything in Decision IQ sits inside one loop: Discover → Design → Build → Run — and Run feeds straight back into Discover.

The six brains you get graded on

01

Reptilian

Threat & scarcity reflexes

Panic, deadlines, 'only 2 left', fear of loss. The brain that says act now and think later.

02

Mammalian

Belonging, status & authority pull

Who else is doing it, who approves of you, who you'd disappoint. Social gravity beats spreadsheets.

03

Rational

Logic traps & false certainty

Confident reasoning built on unchecked premises. Being smart is not the same as being right.

04

Enteric

Neurochemical state & the gut–brain axis

Your chemistry sets the price you'll accept. Dopamine anticipation, cortisol under pressure, low blood sugar and poor sleep quietly rewrite what looks like a good deal.

05

Somatic

Procedural memory & motor learning

Muscle memory is procedural memory — sequences drilled into the basal ganglia and cerebellum. Once a move is automated, you run it before you decide to: the reflex tap, the practiced yes, the rehearsed signature.

06

Cultural

Identity, mimetic desire & in-group pressure

Choices made to stay consistent with a story about yourself, or with the tribe you want in.

01

You talk, it digs

The advisor asks until it has real evidence for every one of the six brains — not before.

02

It scores your exposure

A grade from A to F, plus a per-brain breakdown quoting your own words back at you.

03

It hands you defenses

Actions for the next 24 hours, a mental model to install, and a tripwire for next time.
