THE SCIENCE BEHIND APPLIED AUTHENTICITY

The Three Foundational Traits of Authenticity

01

Empathetic
Self Awareness

Authenticity begins with non-judgmental recognition of your beliefs, emotions, and mental patterns. This awareness forms the basis for all authentic expression.

02

Objective
Self Evaluation

Apply empirically-based assessment to yourself with the same rigor you would to others. This balanced perspective enables accurate self-knowledge and genuine development.

Relational Transparency

Scientifically calibrate your authentic expression across relationships, adjusting transparency based on contextual factors, relationship depth, and established trust patterns.

An authentic person is defined as someone who has:

Aligned values and actions
