A scatter plot with axes from “Bad” to “Good” (vertical) and “Overhyped” to “Transformative” (horizontal) shows the user’s position as a glowing blue dot in the upper-right “Transformative/Good” quadrant, surrounded by smaller dots in various colors. Below the chart, a result card reads “YOU ARE… The True Believer,” subtitled “patron saint: Amanda Askell,” with description text: “AI is real, it’s powerful, and handled with genuine care it can be one of the best things we ever build. You think hard about its character, what it’s like, what we owe it and it owes us. You’re optimistic the way a thoughtful person is optimistic — clear-eyed, not starry-eyed.” Stats at the bottom show “Impact: +4.3” and “Valence: +2.2.”

The Pac-Man Rule The rule is: When standing as a group of people, always leave room for 1 person to join your group. More memorably, stand like Pac-Man! The new person, who has been given permission to join your group, will gather up the courage, and join you! Another important point, the group should now readjust to leave another space for a new person. Leaving room for new people when standing in a group is a physical way to show an inclusive and welcoming envi-ronment. It reduces the feeling of there being cliques, and allows people to integrate themselves into the community.
