I’ve added a permanent page to summarise the modernity worldview categories. If you haven’t yet taken the survey…

This post explains how to interpret the ternary plot chart’s visualisation. The ternary chart on the survey results page will render something like this. This is an admin page with additional functionality, but it’s similar enough. The blue dot represents the average of all responses. The star represents where I guessed the average would land–mostly modern with some residual premodernity and a touch of postmodernity.
Under the title in the header is a textual assessment of the visualisation. In this case, the response illustrates someone moderately modern with postmodern influences. Although this person also has some premodern tendencies, they are relatively insignificant to the context.
The three possible worldviews are at the vertices (the corners) of the triangle. Each side is a scale progressing from 0% to 100%—100% coincident with the label. For example, the bottom side runs from 0 on the left to 100 on the right, which would indicate a score of 100 per cent Premodern, which the output deems Pure Premodern.
Notice that each vertex has green and yellow shading that serves as visual aids representing the strength of the relationship to the corner. Green is strong, and yellow is moderate. The white section outlined by an interior triangle with a red border is decidedly mixed, showing no strong inclination to any of the extremes.
In the example above, the red plot point illustrates a response (as shown below the chart) that is 20.7% Premodern, 52.1% Modern, and 27.2% Postmodern. These numbers should always sum to 100, though there will be some drift due to rounding. The star represents where I thought the average response would be. Follow the tickmarks on each side, and you’ll notice they correspond with the plot point as a 3-tuple (20, 70, 10).
In the future, I expect to render a view that plots the average survey response as a reference.
Below this chart is an expository account of the response choices. You can render this content as a PDF for your personal archive.

I could not complete your survey as the questions were just plain wrong. For example is taking a psychedelic a sacred tradition – a sacrament . What did you mean by “knowledge” – Wittgenstein, especially the 3rd Witt differentiates between know how and know that – enactivism follows suit – especially Hutto’s version of it. I became so frustrated by the double-bind nature of your questions – a schizoanalysis (Deleuze) reveals the shortcomings of it (IMO).

Thanks. I appreciate your response. This is a shortcoming of any such survey, aptitude or personality test, and the so on. This is meant to be a general heuristic survey rather than an epistemological endeavour. For the sake of argument, the goal would be to respond to the question with the response that best suited your interpretation.
I sympathise. When I take these things, I am left in a similar position, e.g., when faced with question-response options like:
When attending a party, do you tend to (A) mingle or (B) keep to yourself.
The nature of the party notwithstanding, I would be unlikely to attend one in the first place, making the premise silly. Of course, I can still hypothetically and conditionally respond, despite not knowing the nature of the party or the attendees.
As for “taking a psychedelic a sacred tradition – a sacrament”, that’s subjective. Is it your intent to view it as a sacrament or is it merely recreational? Maybe I love drinking wine and eating communion wafers. It doesn’t make me Catholic or even religious. I wouldn’t consider it as such.
