- It can typically assess Choice Authenticity through decision analysis.
- It can typically evaluate Life Coherence through narrative consistency.
- It can typically measure Self-Determination Degree through autonomy indicators.
- It can typically quantify World Impact through intentional actions.
- It can typically examine Value Alignment through behavior-belief correspondence.
- ...
- It can often incorporate Temporal Consistency through longitudinal patterns.
- It can often include Domain-Specific Assessments through life area evaluations.
- It can often utilize Qualitative Indicators through narrative assessments.
- It can often apply Quantitative Metrics through behavioral frequencys.

- It can range from being a Simple Intentional Living Measure to being a Complex Intentional Living Measure, depending on its intentional living measure dimensionality.
- It can range from being a Self-Report Intentional Living Measure to being a Observer-Based Intentional Living Measure, depending on its intentional living measure data source.
- It can range from being a Moment-Based Intentional Living Measure to being a Life-Span Intentional Living Measure, depending on its intentional living measure temporal scope.
- ...

- Redemptive Sequence Analysis identifying growth narratives versus contamination sequences.
- Future Authoring Assessment evaluating goal articulation and vision clarity.
- Behavioral Intentional Living Measures, such as:
- Choice Consistency Index tracking decision-value alignment over time.
- Initiative Frequency Scale measuring self-initiated actions versus reactive responses.

- ...
- Philosophical Intentional Living Measures, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- Hedonistic Living Measure, which prioritizes pleasure maximization over intentional impact.
- Social Conformity Measure, which measures external compliance rather than self-determination.
