What Your Story Says About You

Your word cloud is a visual representation of how you told your story. Words appearing larger are more strongly associated with your response.

Your Speaking Style

Past Tense

Stories using primarily past tense phrasing might suggest a speaker with unresolved thoughts or feelings. Past tense language can be associated with processing or 'being stuck' on some concerning event of the past.

Present Tense

Stories using primarily present tense phrasing might suggest a speaker in direct connection with the world. Present tense language can be associated with finding relief from concerning events.

Future Tense

Stories using primarily future tense phrasing might suggest a speaker trying to move past unresolved thoughts or feelings. Future tense language can be associated with avoidance, fear of outcomes, or a disconnect with the present.

Speed of Speech

The average conversational speech pattern for English speakers is between 120 - 150 words per minute. Faster everyday speech patterns (more than 160 wpm) can signify that your story makes you nervous, uncomfortable or that you think something is not important. On the other hand, slower conversational speech patterns (under 110 wpm) might suggest difficulty articulating an event, self-consciousness, or even problems remembering certain aspects of your story.

Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment is used to describe your feelings about particular events or experiences. Sometimes we are aware of these feelings and can easily label them. At other times, the labels are harder to come by. For example, I might feel both really positive about work and also I might be struggling with a relationship with a friend. The sentiment analysis evaluates the different aspects of what you shared and provides an average emotional score. The more aware you are of the sentiment or emotion you are expressing, the more opportunities you have to make meaningful change.
