Resonance Analysis

The Resonance Analysis is a structured self-reflection and analysis tool. It serves self-clarification and development by bringing your experiences and actions into a clear and comprehensible structure. At its core is a functional concept of resonance: how what matters to you internally (values, goals, needs) aligns with what you experience and do — and how you respond to this both internally and externally. This creates a differentiated picture of alignment, tensions, and typical response dynamics in everyday life.

In this context, analysis does not mean diagnostics, but structure. Patterns become visible, relationships are organised, and conditions become identifiable — for example, under which circumstances stress reactions, withdrawal, conflict, or overcompensation intensify or diminish. A key distinction is that a self-image (“This is how I am”) is not automatically a structural understanding (“This is how I respond when X happens”). The Resonance Analysis helps bridge this gap by describing dynamics in a comprehensible way, rather than evaluating people.

Important: The Resonance Analysis does not provide a medical or psychological diagnosis, does not replace therapy, and does not make judgements. It works exclusively with the information you provide yourself and serves as an orienting foundation for self-reflection and conscious self-regulation.

 

Goals & Benefits – What does the Cosmiconfluence Resonance Analysis offer you?

The Cosmiconfluence Resonance Analysis pursues a central goal: establishing self-clarity. It organises your self-reported inputs in a way that recurring patterns, interactions, and conditions become recognisable. The focus is not on evaluation, diagnostics, or external judgement, but on a comprehensible structural understanding: not only “This is how I am”, but “This is how I typically respond when certain triggers, demands, or relational constellations arise — and under which conditions this intensifies or diminishes.”

On this basis, the Resonance Analysis supports several concrete developmental aims:

• Identifying and contextualising patterns: typical dynamics in thinking, feeling, and acting become visible — including context-specific conditions.

• Discovering potentials: resources, stabilising factors, and competencies are identified as supporting elements.

• Understanding areas of tension: points of friction, zones of strain, and interconnections between thematic areas are described in a structured way, without asserting causes.

• Strengthening self-regulation: clarity about leverage points and prioritised points of focus makes development more predictable and applicable to everyday life.

• Developing competencies and skills: for example regulation, boundaries, communication, decision-making capacity, and the shaping of roles and everyday life — in a way that fits your individual situation.

In this way, the Resonance Analysis is a scientifically oriented self-clarification tool. It makes visible what strengthens you, where tension arises, and which next steps may be realistically effective — as a foundation for conscious development, not as a judgement of your person.

 

Areas of Application – In which life and role contexts is the Resonance Analysis particularly valuable?

The Resonance Analysis is particularly valuable wherever human experience, behaviour, and decision-making do not occur in isolation, but emerge within the context of relationships, roles, and demands. It supports self-clarification and development across a wide range of life and role contexts — without evaluation and without diagnostics.

Personal Self-Clarification & Development

• Communication and conflict patterns

• Needs, boundaries, and responsibility

• Alignment and areas of tension in contact with others

Family, Parenting & Care Contexts

• Parental roles, caregiving responsibility, and everyday family life

• Role distributions, loyalties, and dynamics of strain

• Self-care, boundaries, and stabilisation

• Interactions between individual strain and the family system

Work, Performance & Role Responsibility

• Professional roles, responsibility, and performance pressure

• Communication in work and leadership contexts

Social Environment & Societal Contexts

• Friendships, groups, communities, and belonging

• Social roles, expectations, and boundaries

• Dynamics between the individual and the social environment

• The impact of contexts on behaviour and self-image

The Resonance Analysis is particularly valuable wherever patterns, relationships, and demands interact — and where conscious self-regulation is intended to become possible.

For Singles: Partner Search & Partner Choice

The Resonance Analysis supports singles in approaching partner choice not only on the basis of feelings, attraction, or idealisation, but through realistic alignment in key life and relationship areas.

This brings greater clarity to:

• Values & life orientation: What is non-negotiable, and where is flexibility possible?

• Closeness / distance & attachment dynamics: How much closeness do I need — and when does it tip?

• Communication & conflict: How do I respond under pressure — and what do I need in those moments?

• Boundaries & needs: Where do I say yes or no — and how well does that work for me?

• Everyday and role logic: What do I need for stability in daily life (work, rhythm, lifestyle)?

• Criteria instead of impulse decisions: What are sustainable selection criteria — and what is more short-term attraction?

Many misjudgements arise because people have a self-image (“This is how I am”) but lack a structural understanding (“This is how I respond when X happens”). The Resonance Analysis closes this gap and enables more conscious choice, less projection, and clearer criteria.

For Couples: Existing Relationships & Major Decisions

(moving in together, marriage, family planning)

In existing relationships, the Resonance Analysis helps not to evaluate the relationship itself, but to understand both profiles and their everyday dynamics — especially ahead of binding decisions such as moving in together, marriage, or starting a family.

This makes the following visible:

• Resources as a couple: What stabilises us — what works well?

• Areas of friction: Where do recurring tensions arise (closeness, responsibility, expectations)?

• Pattern chains: Which triggers lead to which responses — and what follows from them?

• Cross-links: How stress, work, communication, boundaries, and everyday life interact

• Future orientation & shared goals: What direction do we want to move in — and where do priorities differ?

• Roles & division of labour: How responsibilities, mental load, and everyday tasks are distributed — and whether this works for both

• Testing scenarios: How resilient is our alignment under typical strains (time pressure, career phases, finances, family, health)?

• Developmental fields: What can realistically be developed (learning, practice, agreements) — and what remains more structurally enduring?

Binding steps increase everyday intensity and expectation pressure. As a result, patterns that previously felt “still okay” often become more clearly visible. The Resonance Analysis helps to clarify alignment and strain points at an early stage and to place decisions on a realistic foundation — as orientation; the decision itself always remains with the people involved.

 

Resonance Analysis Form – What does it include?

The Resonance Analysis form is a structured self-report instrument. It comprises:

• 14 sections (life and developmental domains)

• 68 questions in total

• 12 selectable response items per question (i.e. concrete statements/content)

• 816 rateable items in total (68 × 12)

Each selectable response item is rated on a scale from 0 to 5:

• 0 = exclude
  You decide: this item does not apply or should not be included in the analysis.
  It is not taken into account and not analysed.

• 1–5 = rate
  This item is included in the analysis. The higher the rating, the more strongly the respective content is relevant in your experience or behaviour.

This gives the form a key distinguishing feature: you can individualise your evaluation, as you personally determine which content is analysed. The analysis is subsequently based exclusively on the items you have rated (1–5) and ignores everything you have deliberately excluded with a rating of 0.

​

Benefits & Added Value – Across Three Levels

The Cosmiconfluence Resonance Analysis creates value on three levels: already during completion, through the results profile in the report, and — optionally — as a contextual basis for personalised everyday support.

Level 1: Benefits while completing the form

• You engage in structured self-reflection from multiple perspectives and often recognise initial relationships already during the process.

• You differentiate between triggers, inner responses, and behaviour — rather than perceiving only “a feeling” or “a problem”.

• You set priorities: what is relevant and what is not a current focus. This creates clarity instead of overload.

• You remain in control: content you do not wish to include can be deliberately excluded (0) and is not analysed.

Level 2: Benefits through the results report

• The report condenses your inputs into a clear overall profile and organises patterns in a comprehensible way — without diagnostics and without judgement.

• It highlights resources and anchoring factors as well as tension zones and typical pattern chains in experience and behaviour.

• It makes cross-links between thematic areas visible and identifies leverage points where intensification or overcontrol may arise.

• It supports self-clarification through neutral reflection questions and concrete observation markers for everyday life — without advice or instructions.

Level 3: Optional – the report as a contextual basis for a personal AI assistant

• If you wish, you can use your results profile as a basis to deliberately personalise an AI system — for example by providing the report (or selected excerpts) as contextual input.

• This enables the AI to better understand your profile (patterns, triggers, resources, priorities) and to support you more precisely in concrete situations.

• Typical areas of application include relationships and communication, family and parenting, work and role responsibility, as well as decision-making and personal development.

• Important: This is an optional use decided by you. You determine what you share. It remains a framework for self-clarification and support — not diagnostics and not therapy.

 

International Standards & Methodological Framework for Analysis and Reporting

The analysis, evaluation, and reporting logic of the Cosmiconfluence Resonance Analysis is designed with a strong focus on quality and is structurally aligned with approaches commonly used in professional assessment, evaluation, and reporting contexts. It serves exclusively for self-reflection and pattern-oriented contextualisation and is not clinical diagnostics, not therapy, and not a norm-referenced psychometric testing procedure.

International Quality Principles & Reference Frameworks (Orientation)

• Process quality principles with ISO-aligned orientation: clear processing steps, consistency, documentation logic, traceability, and reproducibility within the system

• Aligned with test-ethical reporting principles (AERA / APA / NCME reference): transparent presentation of results, clear separation between data basis and interpretation, cautious evidence language, and avoidance of inappropriate conclusions or labelling

• Aligned with European practice frameworks (EFPA reference): structured report formats, clearly marked levels of interpretation, and disciplined interpretative practice

Professional Contextualisation (Psychology, Education, Social Sciences)

• Professionally grounded in psychological, educational, and social-scientific approaches to self-reflection, competence development, and context-sensitive interpretation

• Focus areas include self-perception, self-regulation, role and relationship dynamics, as well as the development of potentials, competencies, and skills — without therapeutic or diagnostic objectives

Multi-Level Analysis and Reporting Process

• Clear separation of output levels: analysis → participant report → optional internal audit layer (only upon explicit request)

• No scale scores or norm calculations: instead, pattern- and relationship-oriented consolidation based solely on the data actually provided

• Processing may occur locally or system-internally outside the web interface, depending on the operational environment

Data Ethics & Evidence Language (Zero Rule)

• Deliberately excluded inputs (0) are treated as non-existent: they are not calculated, not interpreted, and not mentioned

• No inferences are drawn from missing data and no “interpretation of gaps” is applied

• Calibrated evidence language (e.g. “clearly present”, “shows indications”, “may / possibly”) — without diagnostic language, pathologisation, or clinical labelling

Pattern Analysis Instead of Averages

• The report deliberately avoids means, averages, and norm values

• Instead: person-oriented profile analysis with consolidations, ranges/polarisations, and pattern constellations

• Internal auxiliary calculations may be used for structuring purposes, but are not reported as norming indicators

Report Quality & Verifiability (Audit Logic)

• Format-stable and professionally transparent: consistent chapter structure, stable terminology, and clear derivation logic

• Optional: an internal audit layuthorised for analysis.
