Cognitive Profile Test: What It Measures and How to Read Your Score

The Cognitive Profile test explores the way you process information, make decisions and solve problems. It measures five key dimensions: analytical thinking, creative thinking, practical thinking, reflective thinking and intuitive thinking. Understanding your cognitive profile will help you optimise your learning methods, improve your decision-making and collaborate better with people who have different styles. This test draws on research in cognitive psychology.

In the article that follows, I explore your cognitive functioning. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a cognitive profile test that helps you take stock of your cognitive strengths. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote a book on this subject, The Practical CBT Guide, if you would like to go further.

What the test measures

• The ability to break down problems, reason logically and process data.
• The ability to generate original ideas, think divergently and innovate.
• The ability to apply knowledge in concrete situations and solve real problems.
• A tendency towards deep reflection, introspection and critical evaluation.
• The ability to grasp a situation quickly, trust your instinct and perceive patterns.

How to read your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

• Developing cognitive profile: Your cognitive profile is still taking shape. You have the potential to develop several thinking styles.
• Balanced cognitive profile: You use different thinking styles in a balanced way depending on the situation.
• Well-defined cognitive profile: You have clear cognitive preferences that guide your thinking effectively.
• Exceptional cognitive profile: Your cognitive abilities are highly developed across several dimensions.
