Quadrant Meanings +

Flow State (High Curiosity + High Belief)

A mental state of complete immersion and engagement in an activity. Characterized by focused concentration, a sense of clarity, and intrinsic enjoyment. Time seems to pass quickly, and there's a balance between challenge and skill.

Anxiety / Fear (High Curiosity + Low Belief)

A state of heightened alertness and concern. While curious about possibilities, the lack of belief or conviction creates uncertainty and worry. This can manifest as overthinking, restlessness, or fear of negative outcomes.

Apathy (Low Curiosity + Low Belief)

A state of indifference and detachment. With neither curiosity to explore nor belief in possibilities, there's a lack of motivation and emotional engagement. This can lead to feelings of emptiness, disconnection, and unfulfillment.

Boredom (Low Curiosity + High Belief)

A state of restlessness despite conviction. While having strong beliefs or convictions, the lack of curiosity leads to disinterest and monotony. This can result in feeling stuck, unchallenged, or unfulfilled despite having clear direction.

Continue Drawing: Click and drag (or tap and drag) outwards from the glowing endpoint.
Restriction: You can only draw outwards from the center or the last endpoint. Drawing inwards towards the center is restricted to prevent crossing previous paths unnaturally.
Undo: Use the "Undo" button to remove the last segment drawn.
Clear: Use the "Clear" button to reset the drawing.
Hover: Hover over drawn paths (on desktop) or tap briefly (on touch) to see the state details for that point.
