Oscillian is an identity discovery platform that maps Self vs Others perceptions using structured feedback. It helps individuals, brands, teams, and projects understand how they are actually experienced by others through the Four Corners of Discovery framework.

What are the Four Corners of Discovery?

The Four Corners of Discovery is Oscillian's perception mapping framework: Aligned (both Self and Others agree), Revealed (Others see it but Self doesn't), Hidden (Self sees it but Others don't), and Untapped (neither selected). It draws inspiration from interpersonal awareness models including the Johari Window.

How does Oscillian feedback work?

Start a session in under 2 minutes: choose a topic from 348+ options, select qualities that describe it, then share a link. Others respond by selecting from the same qualities—no account required. Results map to the Four Corners of Discovery.

Is Oscillian free to use?

Yes, Oscillian offers free feedback sessions. Create an account, choose a topic, select qualities, and share your feedback link to start collecting perceptions from others.

Visibility & Voice Equity: Whose Perspective Counts in the Family Story

In many families, some siblings take up more space in the story—by choice, by personality, or by how adults treated them. This topic helps you compare your own view of how visible and heard you are with how others experience whose voice carries weight, gets invited, or gets sidelined in your sibling set, inside Oscillian's identity discovery platform powered by structured feedback.

What This Feedback Topic Helps You Discover

Oscillian maps your self-reflection against others' reflections in the Four Corners of Discovery:

Aligned – Visibility and voice qualities you recognize in your family dynamic and others reflect back.
Revealed – Ways you make room for other voices, or bring quieter siblings in, that others notice more than you do.
Hidden – Ways you dominate, eclipse, or withdraw that you may not fully see, but others feel strongly.
Untapped – More equitable patterns of speaking, listening, and deciding neither you nor others are clearly seeing yet.

You get a practical emotional snapshot of who feels seen and heard in your sibling system.

Who This Topic Is For

Siblings where one person's needs or opinions always seem to set the tone
Families with quieter or marginalised siblings whose input gets missed
Adults reflecting on patterns of favouritism, silencing, or overexposure
People trying to change how their voice lands in family conversations
Anyone wondering, "Whose experience actually shapes how decisions are made here?"

When to Use This Topic

During conversations about decision-making, fairness, or inclusion in the family
After a sibling voices feeling invisible, unheard, or overly responsible
When planning family events, care plans, or shared projects that affect everyone
As part of longer-term work on equity, power, and voice in family systems

How Reflections Work for This Topic

In your self-reflection, you select visibility and voice qualities that feel true for how you participate in sibling spaces.
In others' reflections, siblings or close relatives select the qualities that match how much space, attention, and influence you take or give.
Oscillian compares both views and places each quality into Aligned, Revealed, Hidden, or Untapped for this topic.

Examples:

Revealed: You worry you fade into the background, yet others reflect that your comments land strongly and shape decisions more than you realise.
Hidden: You see yourself as "just honest" or "just practical", but others experience your voice as overriding, dismissive, or hard to disagree with.
