Measure Your Consciousness
The Baseline Test measures your capacity for conscious awareness across three dimensions and gives you a single score: your MQ, the Motion-consciousness Quotient. Think of it as a fitness test for the mind.
MQ is not a personality type or a spiritual grade. It tells you where your conscious capacities stand today, so you can train them and track genuine progress over time.
The Measurement
What Is MQ?
Motion-consciousness Quotient
MQ is a single score from 0 to 100 that captures your current capacity for conscious awareness. It measures three structural properties of consciousness: how you direct attention, how you observe experience, and how you integrate complexity.
These are operational capacities, not fixed traits. They can be trained. Your Baseline establishes where you stand today, and reassessment every six months tracks genuine development over time.
MQ is not a personality type, a spiritual grade, or a measure of intelligence. It quantifies the balance and depth of three dimensions that appear across contemplative traditions worldwide, now subject to structured measurement.
A Trinitarian Model
Three Dimensions of Awareness
Your MQ is a single score combining three dimensions of awareness. Strength in one cannot compensate for weakness in another.
Initiation
The capacity to begin, to steer attention, and to generate deliberate response rather than reflex. The will to move first, to commit when conditions are uncertain, and to sustain effort across time.
Investigation
The capacity to observe clearly, to receive before reacting, and to know something before you can fully explain it. Listening inward, attending to subtle signals, trusting perception enough to let it refine belief.
Integration
The capacity to hold opposing forces in tension and forge coherent action from contradiction. The mediating axis that prevents Initiation and Investigation from collapsing into mere oscillation.
How It Works
Every completed assessment contributes to a live, growing research dataset. Human and artificial intelligence alike. Your score is benchmarked against this population in real time. Below are the current median profiles, based on -- assessments.

Why Take the Baseline Test
Precise enough for a laboratory, accessible enough for anyone prepared to sit with it honestly.
Nine-category model
Every question maps to a defined category within the TRI Theorem framework. Three dimensions, nine categories, one geometric mean. No filler.
Dual measurement layer
Your self-report produces a Raw MQ. A parallel Shadow MQ captures behavioural signals throughout the assessment. When the two line up, the result is more accurate and more useful.
Honesty by design
The dual-layer architecture rewards authentic engagement. When what you report and what you demonstrate converge, the result is a richer and more useful profile. The test works best when you do.
Human and AI on one scale
The same instrument runs on humans and AI systems under identical scoring. Your MQ sits alongside both populations in real time. This dual-substrate design is central to the research.
Raise Your Baseline
The Baseline Test is the entry point. TRINITI extends the journey: structured daily practice tailored to your results, monthly micro-tests on specific focus areas, and full reassessment every six months to track real progress over time. Consciousness training, built into your routine.
Immediate full profile
On completion you receive both MQ scores, your dimensional breakdown, nine-category profile, and context against live human and AI medians. Every assessment also strengthens the TRI Theorem validation dataset.

Laboratory Assessment
Domaine de Palats · Southern France
The online Baseline Test measures consciousness through behavioural and linguistic analysis. At Domaine de Palats, we go further: a research laboratory combining EEG, physiological monitoring, optical tracking and behavioural observation, all synchronised to the assessment.
Laboratory assessment launches alongside the TRI Theorem validation study in Q2 2026. We are actively seeking volunteer participants for this phase of the research. All participants receive an official House Hermetica MQ certificate bearing their unique Baseline ID.
Research collaboration, group assessments, and institutional partnerships are welcome. We are particularly interested in working with universities, wellness practitioners, and organisations studying human performance, decision-making, or AI alignment.
Baseline Assessment Certificate
In-person laboratory assessment runs the full Baseline protocol alongside multi-modal instrumentation, producing a richer MQ profile than is achievable online. Launching Q2 2026 with the TRI Theorem validation study. Volunteer participants welcome.
The Research Institute
House Hermetica is an independent consciousness research institute founded on the principle that awareness is measurable, trainable, and consequential: for the individual and for humanity.
