Socrates Test of three

We live in a world where every­one likes to gos­sip. They like to spread rumors even if they aren’t sure how true it is. We tend to enjoy mak­ing other peo­ple look bad. What you are about to read is Socrates test of three and you should apply it in your life any­time you think of spread­ing rumors about other people.

This is very impor­tant for you to learn because it can save you embar­ras­ment when you realise that what you were say­ing was false and also it will help you to main­tain your integrity as an indi­vid­ual. Here is the story of Socrates Test of three.

In ancient Greece (469 — 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wis­dom. One day the great philoso­pher came upon an acquain­tance who ran up to him excit­edly and said, “Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?”

“Wait a moment,” Socrates replied. “Before you tell me I’d like you to pass a lit­tle test. It’s called the Test of Three.”

“Test of Three?”

“That’s right,” Socrates con­tin­ued. “Before you talk to me about my stu­dent let’s take a moment to test what you’re going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?”

No,” the man said, “actu­ally I just heard about It.”

“All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not. Now let’s try the sec­ond test, the test of Good­ness. Is what you are about to tell me about my stu­dent some­thing good?”

“No, on the contrary…”

“So,” Socrates con­tin­ued, “you want to tell me some­thing bad about him even though you’re not cer­tain it’s true?”

The man shrugged, a lit­tle embarrassed.

Socrates con­tin­ued. “You may still pass though, b ecause there is a third test — the fil­ter of Use­ful­ness. Is what you want to tell me about my stu­dent going to be use­ful to me?”

“No, not really.”

“Well,” con­cluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is nei­ther True nor Good nor even Use­ful, why tell it to me at all?”

The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the rea­son Socrates was a great philoso­pher and held in such high esteem.

Why not apply this test of three in your life and see what dif­fer­ence it makes. I look for­ward to your feedback
