Inside the game
How your choices shape this result
The answer weights below are the rules used by this game. Add the points from your chosen options; the outcome with the highest total wins. These points express our game design, not a measurement of you or anyone else.
When outcomes tie, a repeatable calculation chooses between them. Names can affect that tie-break; they do not reveal private information. Percentages, initials, ages and dates in outcome titles are authored parts of the story, not calculated probabilities or forecasts.

The idea behind Compliment Style
Choose what you notice in ordinary moments and discover the praise your fictional character is known for.
This game contrasts The Detail Finder, The Effort Witness, The Spark Spotter, and The Kindness Noticer. Choose the scene you would enjoy, then compare the result with another route through the story. The scoring guide on this page shows exactly which themes each option supports.
Consistent, not predictive
Your choices add the points shown in the scoring guide above; a repeatable calculation resolves ties. The same answers return the same result. No answer can verify a fact, identify another person, or forecast a real event.
A better conversation starter
Compare your Compliment Style outcomes. Read the other person’s story as well as your own, then each explain one choice you nearly made differently.
