The document discusses Scientology and its claims to offer methods for understanding and predicting human behavior through tools like the Tone Scale.

The Tone Scale is a scale developed by L. Ron Hubbard that plots different emotional states or 'tones' that a person can experience, ranging from vitality to death. It aims to show the successive emotional states and enable prediction and understanding of human behavior.

Behaviors listed for different tones on the scale include levels of courage, types of conversation, willingness to listen to others, ability to agree or disagree, levels of pleasure experienced, and more.

SMaking
CIENTOLOGY
the World a Better Place
Founded and developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is an applied
religious philosophy which offers an exact route through which anyone can
regain the truth and simplicity of his spiritual self.
Scientology consists of specific axioms that define the underlying causes and
principles of existence and a vast area of observations in the humanities, a
philosophic body that literally applies to the entirety of life.
This broad body of knowledge resulted in two applications of the subject:
first, a technology for man to increase his spiritual awareness and attain the
freedom sought by many great philosophic teachings; and, second, a great
number of fundamental principles men can use to improve their lives. In fact, in
this second application, Scientology offers nothing less than practical methods
to better every aspect of our existence—means to create new ways of life. And
from this comes the subject matter you are about to read.
Compiled from the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, the data presented here is
but one of the tools which can be found in The Scientology Handbook. A
comprehensive guide, the handbook contains numerous applications of
Scientology which can be used to improve many other areas of life.
In this booklet, the editors have augmented the data with a short
introduction, practical exercises and examples of successful application.
Courses to increase your understanding and further materials to broaden
your knowledge are available at your nearest Scientology church or mission,
listed at the back of this booklet.
Many new phenomena about man and life are described in Scientology, and
so you may encounter terms in these pages you are not familiar with. These are
described the first time they appear and in the glossary at the back of the booklet.
Scientology is for use. It is a practical philosophy, something one does. Using
this data, you can change conditions.
Millions of people who want to do something about the conditions they see
around them have applied this knowledge. They know that life can be improved.
And they know that Scientology works.
Use what you read in these pages to help yourself and others and you will
too.

H ow often have you heard someone say, “I don’t understand him”?


Sometimes irrational, unforeseen acts seem to be the norm among our
fellows.
The fact is, there has never been a workable method to invariably
predict human behavior—until now.
L. Ron Hubbard developed just such a method, and it is applicable to
all men, without exception.
With this data, it is possible to accurately predict the behavior of a
potential spouse, a business partner, employee or friend—before you
commit to a relationship. The risks involved in human interaction can be
avoided entirely or minimized when you can infallibly predict how people
will behave.
By understanding and using the information in this booklet, all
aspects of human relationships will become more productive and more
fulfilling. You’ll know who to associate with, who to avoid, and you will
be able to help those who are mired in uncomfortable situations with
others. Imagine knowing, after a very short time, how people will behave
in any given circumstance. You can. Each and every time.■

THE TONE
SCALE

he Tone Scale—a vital tool for any aspect of life involving


one’s fellows—is a scale which shows the successive
emotional tones a person can experience. By “tone” is
meant the momentary or continuing emotional state of a
person. Emotions such as fear, anger, grief, enthusiasm
and others which people experience are shown on this
graduated scale.

Skillful use of this scale enables one to both predict and understand
human behavior in all its manifestations.

This Tone Scale plots the descending spiral of life from full vitality and
consciousness through half-vitality and half-consciousness down to death.

By various calculations about the energy of life, by observation and by test,


this Tone Scale is able to give levels of behavior as life declines.

These various levels are common to all men.

When a man is nearly dead, he can be said to be in a chronic apathy. And


he behaves in a certain way about other things. This is 0.05 on the Tone Scale.

When a man is chronically in grief about his losses, he is in grief. And he


behaves certain ways about many things. This is 0.5 on the scale.

When a person is not yet so low as grief but realizes losses are impending,
or is fixed chronically at this level by past losses, he can be said to be in fear.
This is around 1.0 on the scale.

An individual who is fighting against threatened losses is in anger. And he


manifests other aspects of behavior. This is 1.5.
3
BOOK 4.book Page 4 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

The person who is merely suspicious that loss may take place or who has
become fixed at this level is resentful. He can be said to be in antagonism. This
is 2.0 on the scale.

Above antagonism, the situation of a person is not so good that he is


enthusiastic, not so bad that he is resentful. He has lost some goals and cannot
immediately locate others. He is said to be in boredom, or at 2.5 on the Tone
Scale.

At 3.0 on the scale, a person has a conservative, cautious aspect toward life
but is reaching his goals.

At 4.0 the individual is enthusiastic, happy and vital.

Very few people are natural 4.0s. A charitable average is probably around 2.8.

You have watched this scale in operation before now. Have you ever seen
a child trying to acquire, let us say, a nickel? At first he is happy. He simply
wants a nickel. If refused, he then explains why he wants it. If he fails to get it
and did not want it badly, he becomes bored and goes away. But if he wants it
badly, he will get antagonistic about it. Then he will become angry. Then, that
failing, he may lie about why he wants it. That failing, he goes into grief. And
if he is still refused, he finally sinks into apathy and says he doesn’t want it.
This is negation.

A child threatened by danger also dwindles down the scale. At first he does
not appreciate that the danger is posed at him and he is quite cheerful. Then
the danger, let us say it is a dog, starts to approach him. The child sees the
danger but still does not believe it is for him and keeps on with his business.
But his playthings “bore” him for the moment. He is a little apprehensive and
not sure. Then the dog comes nearer. The child “resents him” or shows some
antagonism. The dog comes nearer still. The child becomes angry and makes
some effort to injure the dog. The dog comes still nearer and is more

threatening. The child becomes afraid. Fear unavailing, the child cries. If the
dog still threatens him, the child may go into an apathy and simply wait to be
bitten.

Objects or animals or people which assist survival, as they become


inaccessible to the individual, bring him down the Tone Scale.

Objects, animals or people which threaten survival, as they approach the


individual, bring him down the Tone Scale.

This scale has a chronic or an acute aspect. A person can be brought down
the Tone Scale to a low level for ten minutes and then go back up, or he can
be brought down it for ten years and not go back up.

A man who has suffered too many losses, too much pain, tends to become
fixed at some lower level of the scale and, with only slight fluctuations, stays
there. Then his general and common behavior will be at that level of the Tone
Scale.

Just as a 0.5 moment of grief can cause a child to act along the grief band
for a short while, so can a 0.5 fixation cause an individual to act 0.5 toward
most things in his life.

There is momentary behavior or fixed behavior.

The Tone Scale in Full

The full Tone Scale starts well below apathy. In other words, a person is
feeling no emotion about a subject at all. An example of this was the American
attitude concerning the atomic bomb; something about which they should
have been very concerned was so far beyond their ability to control and so
likely to end their existence that they were below apathy about it. They
actually did not even feel that it was very much of a problem.

Feeling apathetic about the atomic bomb would be an advance over the
feeling of no emotion whatsoever on a subject which should intimately
concern a person. In other words, on many subjects and problems people are
actually well below apathy. There the Tone Scale starts, on utter, dead null far
below death itself.

Going up into improved tones one encounters the level of body death,
apathy, grief, fear, anger, antagonism, boredom, enthusiasm and serenity, in
that order. There are many small stops between these tones, but one knowing
anything about human beings should definitely know these particular
emotions. A person who is in apathy, when his tone is improved, feels grief.
A person in grief, when his tone improves, feels fear. A person in fear, when
his tone improves, feels anger. A person in anger, when his tone improves,
feels antagonism. A person in antagonism, when his tone improves, feels
boredom. When a person in boredom improves his tone, he is enthusiastic.
When an enthusiastic person improves his tone, he feels serenity. Actually the
below apathy level is so low as to constitute a no-affinity, no-emotion, no-
problem, no-consequence state of mind on things which are actually
tremendously important.

Characteristics on the Tone Scale


The area below apathy is an area without pain, interest, or anything else
that matters to anyone, but it is an area of grave danger since one is below the
level of being able to respond to anything and may accordingly lose everything
without apparently noticing it.

A workman who is in very bad condition and who is actually a liability to


the organization may not be capable of experiencing pain or any emotion on
any subject. He is below apathy. We have seen workmen who would hurt their
hand and think nothing of it and go right on working even though their hand
was very badly injured. People working in medical offices and hospitals in
industrial areas are quite amazed sometimes to discover how little attention
some workmen pay to their own injuries. It is an ugly fact that people who pay
no attention to their own injuries and who are not even feeling pain from
those injuries are not and never will be, without some attention from a
Scientologist, efficient people. They are liabilities to have around. They do not
respond properly. If such a person is working a crane and the crane suddenly
goes out of control to dump its load on a group of men, that subapathy crane
operator will simply let the crane drop its load. In other words, he is a
potential murderer. He cannot stop anything, he cannot change anything and
he cannot start anything and yet, on some automatic response basis, he
manages some of the time to hold down a job, but the moment a real
emergency confronts him he is not likely to respond properly and accidents
result.

Where there are accidents in industry they stem from these people in the
subapathy tone range. Where bad mistakes are made in offices which cost
firms a great deal of money, lost time and cause other personnel difficulties,
such mistakes are found rather uniformly to stem from these subapathy
people. So do not think that one of these states of being unable to feel
anything, of being numb, of being incapable of pain or joy is any use to
anyone. It is not. A person who is in this condition cannot control things and
in actuality is not there sufficiently to be controlled by anyone else and does
strange and unpredictable things.

Just as a person can be chronically in subapathy, so a person can be in


apathy. This is dangerous enough but is at least expressed. Communication
from the person himself, not from some training pattern is to be expected.

10
BOOK 4.book Page 11 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

People can be chronically in grief, chronically in fear, chronically in anger, or


in antagonism, or boredom, or actually can be “stuck in enthusiasm.” A
person who is truly able is normally fairly serene about things. He can,
however, express other emotions. It is a mistake to believe that a total serenity
is of any real value. When a situation which demands tears cannot be cried
about, one is not in serenity as a chronic tone. Serenity can be mistaken rather
easily for subapathy, but of course only by a very untrained observer. One
glance at the physical condition of the person is enough to differentiate.
People who are in subapathy are normally quite ill.

On the level of each of the emotions we have a communication factor. In


subapathy an individual is not really communicating at all. Some social
response or training pattern or, as we say, “circuit” is communicating. The
person himself does not seem to be there and isn’t really talking. Therefore his
communications are sometimes strange to say the least. He does the wrong
things at the wrong time. He says the wrong things at the wrong time.

Naturally when a person is stuck on any of the bands of the Tone Scale—
subapathy, apathy, grief, fear, anger, antagonism, boredom, enthusiasm or
serenity—he voices communications with that emotional tone. A person who
is always angry about something is stuck in anger. Such a person is not as bad
off as somebody in subapathy, but he is still rather dangerous to have around
since he will make trouble, and a person who is angry does not control things
well. The communication characteristics of people at these various levels
on the Tone Scale are quite fascinating. They say things and handle
communication each in a distinct characteristic fashion for each level of the
Tone Scale.

There is also a level of reality for each of the levels of the Tone Scale.
Reality is an intensely interesting subject since it has to do, in the main, with
relative solids. In other words, the solidity of things and the emotional tone of
people have a definite connection. People low on the Tone Scale cannot
tolerate solids. They cannot tolerate a solid object. The thing is not real to
them; it is thin or lacking weight. As they come upscale, the same object
becomes more and more solid and they can finally see it in its true level of
solidity. In other words, these people have a definite reaction to mass at
various points on the scale. Things are bright to them or very, very dull. If you
could look through the eyes of the person in subapathy you would see a very
watery, thin, dreamy, misty, unreal world indeed. If you looked through the

11
BOOK 4.book Page 12 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

eyes of an angry man you would see a world which was menacingly solid,
where all the solids posed a brutality toward him, but they still would not be
sufficiently solid or sufficiently real or visible for a person in good condition.
A person in serenity can see solids as they are, as bright as they are, and can
tolerate an enormous heaviness or solidity without reacting to it. In other
words, as we go up the Tone Scale from the lowest to the highest, things can
get more and more solid and more and more real.

Observing the Obvious


The Tone Scale is an extremely useful tool to help predict the
characteristics and behavior of a person. But to do this well you must be able
to recognize a person’s position on the scale at a glance.

The Tone Scale is very easy to apply on a casual basis for some acute tone.
“Joe was on a 1.5 kick last night.” Sure, he turned red as a beet and threw a
book at your head. Simple. Mary breaks into sobs, and grabs for the Kleenex,
easily recognizable as grief. But how about a person’s chronic tone level? This
can be masked by a thin veneer of social training and responses. Such is called
a social tone. It is neither chronic, nor acute, but is a reflection of the person’s
social education and mannerisms adopted to present himself to others. How
sharp and how certain are you about that? Take a person that you are familiar
with. What, exactly, is his chronic tone?

There is a word “obnosis” which has been put together from the phrase,
“observing the obvious.” The art of observing the obvious is strenuously
neglected in our society at this time. Pity. It’s the only way you ever see
anything; you observe the obvious. You look at the isness of something, at
what is actually there. Fortunately for us, the ability to obnose is not in any
sense “inborn” or mystical. But it is being taught that way by people outside
of Scientology.

How do you teach somebody to see what is there? Well, you put up
something for him to look at, and have him tell you what he sees. An
individual can practice this on his own or in a group situation, such as a class.
One simply selects a person or object and observes what is there. In a
classroom situation, for instance, a student is asked to stand up in the front of
the room and be looked at by the rest of the students. An Instructor stands by,
and asks the students:

12
BOOK 4.book Page 13 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

“What do you see?”


The first responses run about like this:
“Well, I can see he’s had a lot of experience.”
“Oh, can you? Can you really see his experience? What do you see there?”
“Well, I can tell from the wrinkles around his eyes and mouth that he’s had
lots of experience.”
“All right, but what do you see?”
“Oh, I get you. I see wrinkles around his eyes and mouth.”
“Good!”
The Instructor accepts nothing that is not plainly visible.
A student starts to catch on and says, “Well, I can really see he’s got ears.”
“All right, but from where you’re sitting can you see both ears right now
as you’re looking at him?”
“Well, no.”
“Okay. What do you see?”
“I see he’s got a left ear.”
“Fine!”
No guesses, no assumptions will do. For example, “He’s got good
posture.”
“Good posture by comparison with what?”
“Well, he’s standing straighter than most people I’ve seen.”
“Are they here now?”
“Well, no, but I’ve got memories of them.”
“Come on. Good posture in relation to what, that you can see right now.”
“Well, he’s standing straighter than you are. You’re a little slouched.”
“Right this minute?”
“Yes.”
“Very good.”

13
BOOK 4.book Page 14 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

The goal of such drilling is to get a student to the point where he can look
at another person, or an object, and see exactly what is there. Not a deduction
of what might be there from what he does see there. Just what is there, visible
and plain to the eye. It’s so simple, it hurts.

You can get a good tip on chronic tone from what a person does with his
eyes. At apathy, he will give the appearance of looking fixedly, for minutes on
end, at a particular object. The only thing is, he doesn’t see it. He isn’t aware
of the object at all. If you dropped a bag over his head, the focus of his eyes
would probably remain the same.

Moving up to grief, the person does look “downcast.” A person in chronic


grief tends to focus his eyes down in the direction of the floor a good bit. In
the lower ranges of grief, his attention will be fairly fixed, as in apathy. As he
starts moving up into the fear band, you get the focus shifting around, but still
directed downward.

At fear itself, the very obvious characteristic is that the person can’t look
at you. People are too dangerous to look at. He’s supposedly talking to you,
but he’s looking over in left field. Then he glances at your feet briefly, then
over your head (you get the impression a plane’s passing over), but now he’s
looking back over his shoulder. Flick, flick, flick. In short, he’ll look anywhere
but at you.

Then, in the lower band of anger, he will look away from you, deliberately.
He looks away from you; it’s an overt communication break. A little further
up the line and he’ll look directly at you all right, but not very pleasantly. He
wants to locate you—as a target.

Then, at boredom, you get the eyes wandering around again, but not
frantically as in fear. Also, he won’t be avoiding looking at you. He’ll include
you among the things he looks at.

Equipped with data of this sort, and having gained some proficiency in the
obnosis of people, a person can next go out into the public to talk to strangers
and spot them on the Tone Scale. Usually, but only as a slight crutch in
approaching people, a person doing this should have a series of questions to
ask each person, and a clipboard for jotting down the answers, notes, etc. The
real purpose of their talking to people at all is to spot them on the Tone Scale,

BOOK 4.book Page 16 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

chronic tone and social tone. They are given questions calculated to produce
lags and break through social training and education, so that the chronic tone
juts out.

Here are some sample questions used for this drill: “What’s the most
obvious thing about me?” “When was the last time you had your hair cut?”
“Do you think people do as much work now as they did fifty years ago?”

At first, the persons doing this merely spot the tone of the person they are
interviewing—and many and various are the adventures they have while
doing this! Later, as they gain some assurance about stopping strangers and
asking them questions, these instructions are added: “Interview at least fifteen
people. With the first five, match their tone, as soon as you’ve spotted it. The
next five, you drop below their chronic tone, and see what happens. For the
last five, put on a higher tone than theirs.”

What can a person gain from these exercises? A willingness to


communicate with anyone, for one thing. To begin with, a person can be
highly selective about the sort of people he stops. Only old ladies. No one who
looks angry. Or only people who look clean. Finally, they just stop the next
person who comes along, even though he looks leprous and armed to the
teeth. Their ability to confront people has come way up, and a person is just
somebody else to talk to. They become willing to pinpoint a person on the
scale, without wavering or hesitating.

They also become quite gifted and flexible at assuming tones at will, and
putting them across convincingly, which is very useful in many situations,
and lots of fun to do.

Being able to recognize the tone level of people at a single glance is an


ability which can give a tremendous advantage in one’s dealings with others.
It is a skill well worth the time and effort to acquire.

THE HUBBARD CHART


OF HUMAN EVALUATION
The whole subject of how to accurately judge our fellows is something that
man has wanted to be able to do for a long time. In Scientology we have a chart
which shows a way one can precisely evaluate human behavior and predict
what a person will do.

This is the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, a copy of which is at the


back of this booklet.

The chart displays the degree of ethics, responsibility, persistence on a


given course, handling of truth and other identifying aspects of a person along
the various levels of the Tone Scale.

You can examine the chart and you will find in the boxes, as you go across
it, the various characteristics of people at these levels. Horribly enough these
characteristics have been found to be constant. If you have a 3.0 as your rating,
then you will carry across the whole chart at 3.0.

If you can locate two or three characteristics along a certain level of this
scale, you can look in the number column opposite those characteristics and
find the level. It may be 2.5, it may be 1.5. Wherever it is, simply look at all
the columns opposite the number you found and you will see the remaining
characteristics.

The only mistake you can make in evaluating somebody else on this Tone
Scale is to assume that he departs from it somewhere and is higher in one
department than he is in another. The characteristic may be masked to which
you object—but it is there.

Look at the top of the first column and you get a general picture of the
behavior and physiology of the person. Look at the second column for the
physical condition. Look at the third column for the most generally expressed
emotion of the person. Continue on across the various columns. Somewhere
you will find data about somebody or yourself of which you can be sure. Then

17
BOOK 4.book Page 18 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

simply examine all the other boxes at the level of the data you were certain
about. That band, be it 1.5 or 3.0, will tell you the story of a human being.

Of course, as good news and bad, happy days and sad ones, strike a person,
there are momentary raises and lowerings on this Tone Scale. But, as
mentioned, there is a chronic level, an average behavior for each individual.

As an individual is found lower and lower on this chart, so is his alertness,


his consciousness lower and lower.

The individual’s chronic mood or attitude toward existence declines in


direct ratio to the way he regards the physical universe and organisms about
him.

It is not a complete statement to say, merely, that one becomes fixed in his
regard for the physical universe and organisms about him, for there are
definite ways, beyond consciousness, which permit this to take place.
Manifestation, however, is a decline of consciousness with regard to the
physical environment of an individual. That decline of consciousness is a
partial cause of a gradual sag down this chart, but it is illustrative enough for
our purposes in this volume.

The position of an individual on this Tone Scale varies through the day
and throughout the years but is fairly stable for given periods. One’s position
on the chart will rise on receipt of good news, sink with bad news. This is the
usual give and take with life. Everyone however has a chronic position on the
chart which is unalterable save for Scientology processing.

Scientology processing is a very unique form of personal counseling which


helps an individual look at his own existence and improves his ability to
confront what he is and where he is. Processing thus raises the chronic tone
of that individual.

On the other hand, on an acute basis, necessity level (lifting oneself by


one’s bootstraps as in emergencies) can raise an individual well up this chart
for brief periods.

One’s environment also greatly influences one’s position on the chart.


Every environment has its own tone level. A man who is really a 3.0 can begin
to act like a 1.1 (covert hostility) in a 1.1 environment. However, a 1.1 usually

18
BOOK 4.book Page 19 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

acts no better than about 1.5 in an environment with a high tone. If one lives
in a low-toned environment he can expect, eventually, to be low-toned. This
is also true of marriage—one tends to match the tone level of one’s marital
partner.

This Tone Scale is also valid for groups. A business or a nation can be
examined as to its various standard reactions and these can be plotted. This
will give the survival potential of a business or a nation.

This chart can also be used in employing people or in choosing partners.


It is an accurate index of what to expect and gives you a chance to predict what
people will do before you have any great experience with them. Also, it gives
you some clue as to what can happen to you in certain environments or
around certain people, for they can drag you down or boost you high.

However, don’t use this chart as an effort to make somebody knuckle


under. Don’t tell people where they are on it. It may ruin them. Let them take
their own examinations.

A Tone Scale Test


Probably the most accurate index of a person’s position on the Tone Scale
is speech.

Unless a person talks openly and listens receptively he cannot be


considered very high on the Tone Scale.

In column 10 of the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, “Speech:


Talks—Speech: Listens,” there are double boxes: one set referring to talking,
the other to listening. It may not have occurred to some people that
communication is both outflow and inflow. An observation of how a person
both listens and talks will give an accurate indication of his position on the
Tone Scale.

It is interesting to note that with this column one can conduct what we call
a “two-minute psychometry” on someone. Psychometry is the measurement of
mental traits, abilities and processes. The way to do a two-minute
psychometry is simply to start talking to the person at the highest possible
tone level, creatively and constructively, and then gradually drop the tone of
one’s conversation down to the point where it achieves response from the

person. An individual best responds to his own tone band; and an individual
can be lifted only about half a point on the Tone Scale by conversation. In
doing this type of “psychometry,” one should not carry any particular band of
conversation too long, not more than a sentence or two, because this will have
a tendency to raise slightly the tone of the person and so spoil the accuracy of
the test.

Two-minute psychometry, then, is done, first, by announcing something


creative and constructive and seeing whether the person responds in kind;
then, giving forth some casual conversation, perhaps about sports, and seeing
if the person responds to that. Getting no response start talking
antagonistically about things about which the person knows—but not, of

20
BOOK 4.book Page 21 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

course, about the person—to see if he achieves a response at this point. Then
give forth with a sentence or two of anger against some condition. Then
indulge in a small amount of discreditable gossip and see if there is any
response to that. If this does not work, then dredge up some statements of
hopelessness and misery. Somewhere in this range the person will agree with
the type of conversation that is being offered—that is, he will respond to it in
kind. A conversation can then be carried on along this band where the person
has been discovered, and one will rapidly gain enough information to make a
good first estimate of the person’s position on the chart.

This two-minute psychometry by conversation can also be applied to


groups. That speaker who desires to command his audience must not talk
above or below his audience’s tone more than half a point. If he wishes to lift
the audience’s tone, he should talk about half a point above their general tone
level. An expert speaker, using this two-minute psychometry and carefully
noting the responses of his audience, can, in two minutes, discover the tone
of the audience—whereupon, all he has to do is adopt a tone slightly above
theirs.

The Tone Scale and the Chart of Human Evaluation are the most
important tools ever developed for the prediction of human behavior. Employ
these tools and you will at all times know who you are dealing with, who to
associate with, who to trust. ■

PRACTICAL EXERCISES
The following exercises will help you understand this booklet and increase
your ability to actually apply the knowledge it contains.

1 Using the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, consider five people


you know and determine the chronic tone level for each. (Do not tell the
person what you determined his tone level to be.)

2 Practice obnosis. Look around your environment and practice seeing


what is there. Notice things which are plainly obvious. Don’t allow any
assumption into your observation. Continue to practice obnosis until
you are sure you can do it without adding in any assumptions.

3 Spot the tone levels of different people. Go to a place where there are lots
of people. Pick out a person and notice his or her tone level. Do this
again and again with different people. Observe people in conversation or
engaging in some activity and note their tone levels. Continue doing this
until you are confident you can spot the tone level of people by
observing them. (Do not tell the people you observe what tone level you
think them to be in, however.)

4 Practice spotting the tone levels of people by engaging them in


conversation. Take a clipboard and paper and interview people on the
street. Ask them some sample questions such as “What’s the most obvious
thing about me?” “When was the last time you had a haircut?” “Do you
think people do as much work now as they did fifty years ago?” Other
questions of a similar nature can be used to gain responses from the
person. Determine the person’s tone level based on his responses. Is there
a social tone sitting atop his chronic tone? Repeat the interview with other
people, noting the person’s tone level each time. Keep this up until you
can approach anyone and engage him in conversation and determine his
chronic tone level. (Important note: Do not tell the person what tone level
you observe him to be in, or evaluate his tone level for him.)

22
BOOK 4.book Page 23 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM

5 When you have gained assurance at Exercise 4, interview more people.


Interview at least fifteen people. With the first five, match their tone as
soon as you have spotted it. With the next five, drop below their chronic
tone and see what happens. For the last five, put on a higher tone than
theirs. Note down your observations from doing this. Practice this with
more people until you are confident you can spot a person’s tone level
and then match it, drop below it or assume a tone above it.

6 Do a two-minute psychometry on a person. Engage a person in a


conversation and, using the technique given in the booklet, determine
what tone level the person responds to. Repeat this with other people
until you are confident you can spot what tone level a person will
respond to.

7 Practice raising a person’s tone level. Engage a person in conversation.


Once you have determined his tone level, adopt a tone one-half to one
full tone above his. Note what happens to his tone level. Repeat this with
other people until you are confident you can raise a person on the Tone
Scale.
