I’m building a text-based game in a self made fantasy/sci-fi setting about being a psychiatrist to new fantastical species. I want the game to have a lot of stats so that the player can evaluate what their interactions and interview techniques say about them. I,d love to build an opposites pair chart like so: ![image](https://forum.geektherapy.org/uploads/default/original/1X/d8dc39fb0143257bebfd60cfd65928093a69912d.png) (Obviously with more therapeutic terms) What Dual Qualities do you think can be used to evaluate a player’s approach to therapy or mental illness? ---

Empathetic vs. Apathetic Analytical vs. Chaotic (or maybe illogical) Reflective vs. Ignorant Active vs. Passive Engaging vs. Boring Motivating vs. Discouraging Nonjudgmental vs. Prejudiced ---

I like active vs passive. Im looking for opposites but also qualities show no value judgement. like myers briggs ish theres nothing bad about being intro / extroverted or thinking/ feeling, ect. So I’m looking for values that a player might say “oh so thats how you would describe my approach!” Instead of: “ Im doing this wrong” - I already have a system positive reinforcement which i call the CURE stats: Comprehension: Players theoretical understanding of mental health terms. Understanding: Players desire to learn about the patient’s personal experience amd understanding of the patient as an individual. Relational Versatility: Players ability to match their interpersonal approach to the comunication and relationship needs of different patients to be who and what the patient needs. Empathy: Players emotional responsiveness and consistent convern for the patients feelings. I was inspired by this paper to come up with that system. > **[Interpersonal Skill in Medicine: The Essential Partner of Verbal Communication](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2219735/)** > > Medical educators have promoted skillful communication as a means for doctors to develop positive relationships with their patients. In practice, communication tends to be defined primarily as what doctors say, with less attention to how, when, and... ---

I gotcha. So like, relatable vs. professional. Sensitive vs. neutral. Experiential vs. cognitive. Not sure those are all complete opposites, but hey. ---
