The quizzes

Find your place in the SMLC Cube.

Sina's Model of Layered Communication (SMLC) measures a person, a business, and a society on the same three dimensions. These quizzes place you in that space, and then read the fit between you and the people and contexts around you.

These quizzes are part of the Lab, the home of every interactive piece on this site.

Wondering what the dimensions mean? Read how the SMLC works. Positions are honest approximations anchored in published research: a lens, not a diagnosis.

The gap these quizzes measure is the gap työ bridges at work, if you ever want the applied version.
