Abstract: Abstract Facet theory is introduced. Two examples from research on attitudes on wellbeing are studied. Predictions on the spatial distribution of the points representing the various questions are derived from the definitional properties of the questions. Partial and global predictions are investigated. It is found that the SSA space can indeed be partitioned into regions as predicted. The type of partitionings that emerge here are radexes and a duplex.
