Magical Ideation
Dimension 526 of 1,100 · Health Lens
Magical Ideation measures the extent to which an expression endorses implausible causal beliefs, special powers, thought interference, or paranormal influence as real or personally relevant. It encompasses unusual beliefs about telepathy, mind control, hidden messages, supernatural forces, and other unexplainable phenomena.
Minimal Magical Ideation
Expressions activating this band show ordinary beliefs, values, or self-guidance without clear endorsement of paranormal influence, special powers, or bizarre causation. Any unusual content is weak, incidental, or not organized around supernatural or thought-control themes.
Mild Magical Ideation
Expressions activating this band show tentative concern about unusual mental experiences, strangeness, or external influence, often mixed with ordinary self-regulation or reflective content. Paranormal or thought-related anomalies are suggested but not strongly elaborated as fixed beliefs.
Moderate Magical Ideation
Expressions activating this band endorse unusual beliefs as personally meaningful, such as hidden messages, outside control of thoughts, being singled out, or strange events with special significance. The content presents implausible influence or reference as credible rather than merely possible.
High Magical Ideation
Expressions activating this band clearly affirm paranormal mechanisms or exceptional personal capacities, including telepathy, special powers, magical energy, or direct interference with thoughts by extraordinary means. The expression treats these phenomena as believable and experientially salient.
Severe Magical Ideation
Expressions activating this band present a strongly elaborated worldview centered on supernatural, psychic, or unexplainable forces, such as clairvoyance, astral phenomena, mediums, or other extraordinary abilities and entities. These beliefs are expressed as real, consequential, and broadly organizing interpretations of experience.
