How it works
People aren't good at knowing what they want when asked directly. But everyone is remarkably good at relative judgment. Show someone three options and ask which matters most — that's an honest answer, free of pressure or performance. Abilene asks that question in enough different combinations that a real picture emerges.
What's about to happen
Choose your decision. Pick from a set of templates — career, vacation, where to live — or describe your own.
Select what matters. Browse a list of considerations and choose the ones relevant to your decision. You can also add your own. Take your time here.
Compare in threes. You'll see three items at a time and make two simple comparisons. For each pair, five buttons express how much one matters relative to the other: much more, somewhat more, about equal, somewhat more, much more. There's no right answer.
See what you discovered. Your responses produce a profile — not what you said you wanted, but what your judgments revealed.
