Belief-based domain
The belief-based domain – an area of cognition in which a person interprets reality through beliefs, giving it meaning.
It includes different types of beliefs – from religious and existential, to cultural and personal interpretations of reality, including, among others, belief in:
- God,
- signs,
- superstitions,
- conspiracy theories,
- numerology,
- horoscopes,
- the meaning of names,
- and others.
People with this dominant profile often have a sense of mission, a feeling of fulfilling an important role, and engaging in activities that are meaningful for society.
However, reaching a max level in this domain may mean a loss of critical distance and an increased tendency to accept beliefs without verification, which can lead to mixing what is real with what is imagined.
