Why two axes beat a single “happy/sad” score
Feeling “bad” can mean wired anxiety or heavy depletion — and they need different care. Separating pleasantness from energy (a classic circumplex idea) gives you a clearer label fast. That precision is a core idea behind Moodtap’s 88-emotion logging on iPhone.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a free mood check?
- A free mood check is a short self-reflection that maps how pleasant and energetic you feel right now. Moodtap’s tool uses a simple two-axis model (valence and energy) and returns a plain-language label, summary, and gentle next steps — without creating an account.
- How does the valence and energy model work?
- Valence is how pleasant or unpleasant the moment feels (1–5). Energy is how activated or calm you feel (1–5). Together they form a circumplex map used in psychology research: high energy + pleasant ≈ excited/upbeat; low energy + pleasant ≈ calm; high energy + unpleasant ≈ strained/anxious; low energy + unpleasant ≈ heavy/low.
- Is this the same as a clinical depression or anxiety test?
- No. This is not PHQ-9, GAD-7, or any diagnostic instrument. It is a wellness-oriented snapshot for everyday emotional awareness. Seek a licensed professional for clinical concerns.
- Can I track moods over time for free?
- This web tool is a one-off snapshot. For a private daily history, living mood orb, and optional AI reflection, try the free Moodtap iPhone app.
