This 7‑question mini quiz is designed to offer orientation — not a diagnosis, label, or complete picture.

You don’t need to prepare, study, or answer perfectly.

There are no right or wrong responses.

What this quiz is


  • A brief reflection on cognitive processing tendencies

  • A starting point, not a conclusion

  • One layer of a much larger picture


Your result points to a dominant pattern, not everything that’s true about you.

Most complex minds recognize themselves in more than one way of thinking. That’s normal — and expected.



What this quiz is not



  • Not a psychological or medical assessment

  • Not a personality test

  • Not a measure of intelligence or ability

  • Not something that defines who you are


If a question feels difficult to answer, that’s information — not failure.
