This research introduces an evolutionary step in the development of Mind Genomics, called ‘Projective Iconics.’ The organizing principle is that people can reveal their mindsets by being exposed to a problem and then responding to vignettes comprising combinations of people, organizations, or institutions that may solve the problem. The experiment introduced the issue of climate. As prospective ‘solvers’ of this problem, four types of icons (people, institutions) and four specific examples (viz., people, etc.) for each icon are selected. The respondent reads vignettes comprising systematically varied combinations of icons, containing 2-4 specific examples in each vignette. The respondent then rates the likely outcome in terms of two dimensions; the ability to debate the topic in a trustworthy way, and the ability to arrive at the truth through the debate. Results from the total panel suggested no clear patterns. Clustering respondents based on the patterns of estimated trust in the group to debate honestly and separate clustering based on the patterns of estimated ability to arrive at the truth revealed consistent patterns new to the world ‘mindsets’. ‘Projective Iconics’ suggests a new way to think about the way people approach social problems. This approach could be used successfully to collect employee’s opinion regarding company’s management.
