Reflexivity Practice

The Reflexivity Ladder

climb the rungs

Four reflexive statements, one topic, wildly different depths. Click them in order from the most performative (just acknowledging a position) to the most analytic (actually changing the analysis). There's no single giveaway word to spot — it's about how far each one traces its own claim.

Set 1 of 8
Context

Click the four statements in order, weakest reflexivity first:

Rung 1 — Box-ticking: states a position as an obligatory disclosure, connected to nothing.  ·  Rung 2 — Naming a position: identifies what might matter, still vague.  ·  Rung 3 — Connecting to a decision: ties the position to one specific interpretive choice.  ·  Rung 4 — Changing the analysis: the analysis itself visibly shifts as a result.
