From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.

Usage

A person's tone refers to their level of survival and state of being as plotted on the Tone Scale. By observing someone's emotional state and behavior, one can determine where they fall on this scale.

Why It Matters

Tone is a measurable indicator of a person's condition, and the Chart of Human Evaluation relates tone level to specific behaviors and emotions, making it possible to predict and understand conduct.
