Brief Description

The tool “Clarification of Things” is a method or questionnaire developed to help individuals correct or clarify misunderstandings, false information, or inaccuracies that may exist around specific events, situations, or experiences. This can be particularly useful in contexts such as psychotherapy, research, education, and personal development.

Objective

The objective of the tool is to encourage individuals to reflect on their experiences and present their truths in a clear and accurate manner, thereby contributing to improved understanding and communication between individuals and groups.

Calibration

The questionnaire may include a series of open-ended and closed-ended questions that invite participants to describe situations, provide clarifications, and respond to statements regarding their experiences. Responses may be evaluated on a Likert scale to better understand the participants’ feelings and opinions.
