What emotion did you feel??

If there has been an event in your life where you did not know the emotion you were experiencing, try Schabrod's emotional prediction scale test to see what it was.
Description of terminology:
Stimuli: An observation or event that began an emotional reaction.
Mood: Depression: Self loathing, downed or miserable Action: Feeling enthusiastic, the want to do something Anxiety: Thinking too much, stressed, worrying Calm: In the moment, down to earth, not worried
Perception: Subjective vs objective Inner vs outer "Objective truth is something that is really true, it corresponds with reality, and can in principle be verified by others. Subjective truth, on the other hand, may be true for you but not for me, and cannot be verified by another. “Dogs have four legs” is an objective truth, but “I like dogs” is subjective."
Reaction: Instinct vs ego Feeling vs thoughts INSTINCT - PHYSICAL: “I feel cold.” ( physical sensation state) EGO - EMOTIONAL: “I feel happy.” (feeling state)
If you understand the terminology, can be emotionally honest and can place yourself on this scale for an event/observation I will tell you the most likely emotion you felt.

I do not understand action as a mood. Can you elaborate on this?

I've added a description of each mood.

I don't want to dissuade you from what you're doing here, but I wonder about the practical value of this. If one has sufficient insight to identify their prevailing mood and accurately place their perception and source of reaction on the scales, it seems to me that they'd also be able to identify their emotional state.
Is this more of an academic exercise to test the accuracy of this predictive system? I'd like to help, but still have difficulty placing things on those scales.
Working backward, lets say I feel threatened. My prevailing mood before this was calm. My perception is that there are three of them and I infer that they intend me harm. Where would you place this on the perception scale? The source of reaction is what stumps me... there is a visceral experience when a threat presents itself -- is this instinct? But it is not without an emotional component as well, which is where I get stuck. To place myself on this scale, it seems I've already identified the emotional state, i.e. I feel threatened.
Thoughts?
Any chance we can get a peek behind the veil of your system?

Everyone is different but the underlying fact is that there are a lot of people who have no idea what emotion they experienced during an event. This scale does not use time as a variable and can predict the emotion for any period. It's use comes in identifying the emotional experiences of trauma that someone is having difficulty identifying. Knowing your perception and reaction to an event is useless without being able to reference it to a mood map.
I will hopefully be doing this as an academic exercise with the help of my university soon and am using this to try and get preliminary testing. So far when understood it's had an 8/8 success rate which is astounding to me.
For your event. You're discerned that you had an objective perception, to what extent you are viewing them or yourself is how far you would put yourself on the scale. The source of the reaction is whether you feel it or think it. Fight or flight is a feeling and an instinctive reaction, feelings of instinct are most likely what you had.
Perception: Did you think of your surroundings or yourself? Reaction: Did you feel something or think something?
There are more than one type of emotion that could cause someone to feel threatened, the point of my scale is to identify the specific emotion creating that threat be it envy, anger, guilt, etc. You've said the overall feeling but not the underlying emotion.
And I'm sorry but no, until I have sufficient testing I am keeping the second part in wraps. If my method is real, it would explain a lot about the mechanisms of emotion and would correlate with an existing hypothesis I have on the origin of the human conscience.

Is 'hmm' close, correct or wrong?

i'd say it's pretty on point. i'm proud from a strong weeks work -- proud of myself and proud of my boss. and the pride can settle in because the weekend is here. a sense of finality to the work for the time being is here.
compassion is harder to fit in and more momentary than pride IMO

This is supposed to be a momentary emotional predictor, time is not a factor because emotions change.
You've agreed that you felt proud and my prediction was correct, compassion for yourself fits in pretty well with that too. Patting yourself on the back for a hard week of work is compassion.
I can't say it's 100% accurate yet but so far I have correctly predicted 9/9 peoples emotions who understood the terminology.
