When we sought to use AI to explore Lori Chavez-DeRemer'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 Chavez-DeRemer 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 Lori Chavez-DeRemer, 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 Lori’s Transactions assessment focus on six “qualitative” thought processes.
These decision styles shine a light on Lori’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 Lori’s perception of how effectively she combines rational thinking and productive communication.
Looking firstly at the Reasoning decision process, indications are moderately strong that Lori keeps an open mind and avoids prejudging issues, looking at possibilities and alternative solutions before deciding.
Lori 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.
Lori relies on 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. Lori 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 Lori is truly familiar with the situation.
Where matters of Fate are concerned, Lori 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.
Lori places 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. She’ll be willing to accept some "unknowable things" where she believes delving into the complexities is unnecessary.
Lori 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, Lori 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, Lori 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.
Lori 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, Lori shows very little inclination for being Adaptive. Instead, she thinks and acts independently of such pressures.
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 Lori’s circumstances, as well as the range of learned and creative responses that stream from her personal behavioural archives.
Lastly, when exploring how Effective Lori rates her decision making, the result shows that she usually makes balanced and timely decisions that lead to wanted results. She also reviews and revises her decisions to keep on chosen path.

Provide anecdotes and excerpts from Lori's past that support your survey results
Throughout her political career, Lori Chavez-DeRemer has shown a strong preference for logic in her approach to governance and legislation. Her time as mayor of Happy Valley and her legislative work in Congress reveal a systematic and logical method in tackling community issues, especially in areas like economic development and infrastructure.
Her preference for intuition is also significantly strong. Chavez-DeRemer's intuitive understanding of community needs often led her to anticipate and address issues like education, public safety, and workers' rights before they became widespread concerns. Her intuition allowed her to connect with her constituents on a personal level, crafting policies that resonated with them.
Chavez-DeRemer's assertiveness was evident in her legislative initiatives, particularly in her bold moves to support labor laws and workers' rights. Her assertiveness was not overbearing but rather showed her commitment to advocating for policies she strongly believed in.
While she has a fairly strong preference for being supportive, helping others in the decision-making process and empowering her community, her objectivity in policy-making is equally pronounced. She has often chosen to assess legislation based on its potential impact rather than political affiliations, demonstrating a balanced approach in her congressional duties.
Her preference for reasoning, while not as dominant as logic or intuition, still plays a role in her decision-making. She employs reasoning to dissect complex policy proposals, ensuring her stance is well-considered.
Conversely, Chavez-DeRemer's approach does not show a strong preference for leaving outcomes to fate or seeking magical solutions, indicating a practical and grounded approach to politics.
Her preference for what could be termed 'natural' or 'adaptive' behavior appears less pronounced. Her effectiveness in her role is not rooted in high adaptability but rather in her ability to apply logic, intuition, and a supportive nature to achieve tangible results.
