Projects & initiativesIdeas become meaningful when we build.
The first initiative has been selected. Other programmes are being explored or considered, and we distinguish clearly between planned possibilities and activities already under way.
01 / Flagship initiative
Personality exploration.
Selected as an initial project in October 2026. The experience is hosted externally and designed for reflection rather than diagnosis.
First selected initiative · external link
Think about patterns, not labels.
Explore a self-discovery tool that invites you to reflect on your preferences and tendencies. Treat its output as a starting point for curiosity, not as evidence of a psychological condition, ability or fixed personality type.

Important disclaimer
This is not an official or standardized psychometric test. This tool is created for research and self-discovery purposes only and should not be considered as a clinical or professional diagnosis.
You will leave Mind Assembly for an independently hosted service. Check that site's own information about privacy and data before completing the activity.
02 / Themes under discussion
Possibilities we are examining.
The team has discussed these directions. No formal human-participant research project was finalised in the latest meeting record.
Unspoken emotional signalling
Considering what liking, sharing and engaging with posts could—or could not—communicate about someone's emotional state.
Examine the idea ↗Collaborative research
Members have discussed working together on research questions and sharing responsibilities. Topic, protocol and approvals remain undecided.
How questions become studies ↗03 / Future possibilities
What could come next.
These are proposals, not an event calendar or confirmed member benefits. Any launch will depend on capacity, responsibility and appropriate oversight.
Paper-reading circles
Small facilitated discussions of research questions, methods, results and limitations.
Student-led writing
Carefully sourced explainers, research commentary and editorial projects with clear credit for contributors.
Learning conversations
Workshops or guest sessions on research skills and ideas, only when facilitators and plans are confirmed.
Research integrity
Projects involving participants require appropriate review, consent and safeguards. Mind Assembly membership does not automatically confer authorship, certificates, placements or academic credentials.
04 / Contribute
Have an idea worth testing—or questioning?
It can start with an observation, a research article, a question about a theory or an unfamiliar psychological phenomenon. We are interested in thoughtful proposals, not unsupported claims of novelty.
Tell us what interests you and what time or skills you can realistically contribute.
