Methodology

Our method is built upon the principles of
psycholinguistic mechanics kindly provided
by PsychLing logo icon PsychLing and extended by LINGA Co. logo icon LINGA .

PsychLing is a psycholinguistics portal that provides a theoretical framework for analyzing human psychology in the form-factor of writing. Visit psycling.org
LINGA is an American psycholinguistics company that provides authorship identity verification via its Linguistic Fingerprint™ technology. Visit linga.id
Psycholinguistic mechanics is the study of subjective human language via a proprietary framework developed by experts in psychology, language, and data science.

Model as hexagon nodes icon The Model

We believe feel that all human language may be analyzed and understood via eight core Linguistic Attributes, or characteristic traits of someone's speech or writing. These attributes may be visualized and understood according to a simplified model provided by LINGA.

  • Volubility
    Volubility measures how readily and thoroughly a person shares information with other people.
  • Readability
    Readability measures how readily and easily other people can read and understand someone's speech or writing.
  • Formality
    Formality measures how carefully someone follows certain social norms and avoids offense in speech or writing.
  • Specificity
    Specificity measures how precisely someone describes people, places, and things in speech or writing.
  • Sensation
    Sensation measures how often someone uses sensory perception to describe actions, people, places, or things.
  • Emotion
    Emotion measures how often someone uses emotive words to describe feelings, reactions, or some thoughts.
  • Inference
    Inference measures how often someone uses language related to logic, reasoning, or information processing.
  • Apperception
    Apperception measures how all previous seven attributes work together, and to what extent a given person can self-monitor and self-modify their speech, writing, and behavior. Highly apperceptive people are social chameleons who can influence and exert control over other people with relative ease. Individuals who score low in Apperception have more difficulty with the same, and oftentimes struggle with social cohesion. Biological women generally score higher than biological men in Apperception.

Scale as gauge icon The Scale

Feels uses a 9-point scoring scale that ranges from Ultra Low to Ultra High according to a normal distribution.

=
95–100% percentile
An ultra high attribute score is exceptionally rare because it represents 5% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with an ultra high attribute score would be higher than 95 of them and lower than none of them.
=
90–95% percentile
A very high attribute score is rare because it represents 5% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with a very high attribute score would be higher than 90 of them and lower than five of them.
=
80–90% percentile
A high attribute score is somewhat uncommon and represents 10% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with a high attribute score would be higher than 80 of them and lower than 10 of them.
=
60–80% percentile
A slightly high attribute score is common and represents 20% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with a slightly high attribute score would be higher than 60 of them and lower than 20 of them.
=
40–60% percentile
An average attribute score is typical and represents 20% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with an average attribute score would be higher than 40 of them and lower than 40 of them.
=
20–40% percentile
A slightly low attribute score is common and represents 20% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with a slightly low attribute score would be higher than 20 of them and lower than 60 of them.
=
10–20% percentile
A low attribute score is somewhat uncommon and represents 10% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with a low attribute score would be higher than ten of them and lower than 80 of them.
=
5–10% percentile
A very low attribute score is rare because it represents 5% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with a very low attribute score would be higher than five of them and lower than 90 of them.
=
0–5% percentile
An ultra low attribute score is exceptionally rare because it represents 5% of the entire population. In a room with 100 other people, a person with an ultra low attribute score would be lower than 95 of them and higher than none of them.
