What is Percy?
A public instrument for recording human judgment.
Definition
Percy records what people choose when values collide. It does not explain morality, educate, or tell you what is right.
The Human Measure
The Human Measure is Percy's first instrument.
It consists of 22 forced questions. Each presents a collision between core values. There is no neutral option. No skipping. No justification. Every choice requires a loss.
The result is not a score, a label, or a diagnosis.
It is a record of what you were willing to sacrifice in order to preserve something else.
Why this exists
Most systems that collect opinions reward speed, performance, or signalling. Percy does not.
The Human Measure records durable signal: where people draw lines, what harms they tolerate, and which principles hold under pressure. There are no correct answers. Only commitment.
What Percy does with your answers
Percy records judgments anonymously. No accounts. No profiles. No comments. No persuasion.
Percy does not rank people, evaluate character, or offer conclusions.

What Percy is not
Percy is not a personality test, a quiz, a game, or social media. It is austere, slow, and deliberately uncomfortable.
