When we sought to use AI to explore Tulsi Gabbard's Transactions factors, we chose a straightforward approach. We provided Grok, (the advanced AI developed by xAI) with the same survey prompts a human respondent would receive. Grok completed the survey phase just as a human would, offering responses as any individual familiar with Gabbard would do. (read more...)
Why Grok?: Grok stands out for its ability to synthesise vast data sets to draw coherent, insightful conclusions. Its design allows for an outside perspective on humanity which, when applied to understanding someone like Tulsi Gabbard, brings to light patterns, paradigms and behaviours as though a human had conducted the assessment.
Validity of AI Insights: With its capacity to process and analyse information on a scale beyond human capability, Grok brings to the table a depth of analysis that matches most human insights. This extensive data processing power ensures that the results are informed and nuanced.
Consistency and Human-Likeness: Our standard survey processing revealed that Grok maintained consistency across responses, displaying characteristics akin to human reasoning. This consistency check underscored the AI's ability to engage with the survey in a manner that closely resembles human thought processes, affirming the validity of its responses.
How we go about making decisions is really important, which is why the first six behaviours in Tulsi’s Transactions assessment focus on six “qualitative” thought processes.
These decision styles shine a light on Tulsi’s personal blend of decision modes. Reasoning and logic for example require conscious, critical thought, whereas intuition, assertion, fate and magical thought processes do not (although they too have valid uses).
We then examine five modes of interpersonal communication. Together, these two parts gauge the effectiveness of interpersonal transactions between individuals and in teams.
Lastly we look at Tulsi’s perception of how effectively she combines rational thinking and productive communication.
Looking firstly at the Reasoning decision process, indications are strong that Tulsi keeps an open mind and avoids prejudging issues, looking at possibilities and alternative solutions before deciding.
Tulsi defines a problem first and then gathers and assesses facts with (amongst other decision modes) a strong emphasis on Logic. She draws valid conclusions and develops alternative solutions with proof of their correctness.
Tulsi uses Intuition, insights, hunches and guesswork to arrive at answers. She has the potential to think creatively and to short-circuit problems, but needs to verify answers logically.
Moving on to Assertion. Tulsi has a ready answer, and she readily forms opinions based on assumptions, experience, beliefs and values. This behaviour will be useful where prompt answers are needed, but only if Tulsi is truly familiar with the situation.
Where matters of Fate are concerned, Tulsi shows some preference for this decision mode. She might be inclined go along with the flow of events - but under some conditions she may decide instead to take action to influence events.
Tulsi places very little credence in the idea that things happen "as if by Magic". She looks behind issues and events to find cause-and-effect relationships, believing there are practical explanations that could be discovered.
Tulsi shows only a slight inclination to be Judgmental. To some extent they expect people to be self-disciplined, preferring not to pressure them unnecessarily. Although she may feel uncomfortable enforcing rules or ’telling people off’, she may still be inclined to ensure that people follow rules, where appropriate.
She puts caring and concern for others ahead of self-interest. A Supportive person, Tulsi offers well-intended advice and guides people into ’what’s best’. This can be a two-edged sword as it also has the potential to stifle individual responsibility and initiative.
Moderately Objective and detached, Tulsi remains calm, thinks before responding, and chooses responses to suit each situation. She tends not to get caught up in others’ emotions, and may on occasion be thought indifferent or lacking humour.
Tulsi keeps her Natural feelings somewhat in check, and doesn’t often allow herself to show enthusiasm, excitement or ’negative’ feelings easily.
When it comes to group pressure, Tulsi shows some inclination for being Adaptive to such pressures. But if the situation calls for it she will work to fit into the group.
The last factor in this report deals with making transactions effective by combining rational thinking with productive communication. The Reasoning and Logic decision processes work well with Objective communicating but, in different environments, other combinations can work well too. What actually works will depend on Tulsi’s circumstances, as well as the range of learned and creative responses that stream from her personal behavioural archives.
Lastly, on Tulsi’s perception of how Effective her decisions are, she indicates that she can tend to decide an issue, then hold to it until circumstances force some sort of change. But this is not always the case and under the right conditions she will make and review her balanced and timely decisions in order to stay focused.

Tell me about your assessment of Tulsi Gabbard's likely self perception of her Effectiveness. Why do you think that on a scale of 0-11 your assessment is that she would consider her personal effectiveness to be fairly moderate?
This preference indicates that, in my assessment, Tulsi Gabbard might self-evaluate her effectiveness as moderate. Here's why:
My assessment result for Tulsi Gabbard suggests that I consider she will have a pragmatic view of her role in politics, where she doesn't overestimate her influence but also doesn't undervalue her contributions. A potentially realistic self-assessment in a field where effectiveness can be measured in various ways, including legislative success, public influence, changes in policy, or shifts in public discourse.
