Timothy Leary's Mind Mirror

Timothy Leary's Mind Mirror is a self-reflection game in which you rate people, places and concepts, explore personality, and compare your ideas with those of others. You can play alone or with a group.

Rating games

Use numeric scales to rate any person, place or concept. The game analyzes your ratings in brief text and plots them on comparison charts called Mind Maps. You can also use the scales to create characters and personalities, compare yourself with your ideal self or a friend, or compare two other subjects. You can rate yourself while a partner rates you, then see how your assessments differ.

Mind Play and Mind Tools

You can choose between two sets of applications. Mind Play offers light-hearted explorations of topics and celebrities from areas such as television, films and athletics. Mind Tools focuses on psychological insight, career productivity and education.

Life simulations

Life Simulations puts subjects from the rating games into humorous, interactive text adventures written by Dr. Timothy Leary. You can play dozens of simulations across four psychological realms. In emotional insight, for example, you return to kindergarten to face the class bully; in social interaction, you might spend an evening in a punk rock bar or a snooty bankers club.
