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.
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
