Kokology is the study of kokoro which in Japanese means "mind" or "spirit".

The design phase

Very little is known about the design of kokology questions.

The narration phase

While there are slight variations from person to person, the game begins by asking another person to imagine a scene or situation. The game then follows by asking the person questions about the scene. Once the scene is completely described the interpretation phase begins

The interpretation phase

Once the narrator has an understanding of the scene described, he or she may (or, as "Secrets of the Cube" suggests, may not) assist the player in interpreting the scene. The general interpretation is often as follows (however, the player should not take these interpretations as gospel, as there are many individual possibilities; encourage the player to "go with your gut"): the interpreter may expand on the general meaning of the relationships between the responses. with elements of dream interpretation and archetype theory used to interpret the content this can be followed with a new narration phase.
