Abstract
The Abelson-Rosenberg consistency theory has failed to live up to its potential in providing adequate explanation andfostering creative research. Specifically, the theory fails to fully operationalize "least effort" and rarely presents falsifiable hypotheses. This paper attempts to adapt consistency theory to a geometric framework correcting the above shortcomings and several others so that consistency can be fruitfully applied in psychology, political science, and other social sciences. Two examples are included from political science to illustrate the geometric approach.
