Socrates’ Triple Filter Test

If what you’re about to say fails all three tests (it isn’t true, isn’t good, and isn’t useful) then it’s probably better left unsaid.

Before speaking, Socrates proposed filtering information through three questions:

  1. #Truth — “Are you sure it’s true?”

Is what you’re about to share actually accurate? Have you verified it, or are you passing along rumor or assumption?

  1. #Goodness — “Is it good?”

Is what you’re about to say positive or constructive? Does it reflect well on the subject, or is it harmful?

  1. #Usefulness — “Is it useful?”

Will this information benefit the listener in any meaningful way?
