We determine cognitive type using our proven method of assessing universal subconscious cues. Each cognitive process leaves behind cues outside of our conscious control. In analyzing your video with defined metrics, we're able to yield consistent results.
Our typologists are able to type separately and arrive at the same result in over 90% of cases. Even objective metrics are subject to human error. This is why we always have a second pair of eyes on your cognitive type assessment.

Understanding cognitive diversity is a path to knowing oneself. If there will be a start to making type empirical and objective, this is likely it. Getting my results in about a week answered many puzzles. A lot of oddities had been rationalized away in prior testing: now they made sense. Personal priorities and habits fell into place. My close friends agreed that it sounded like the real me, too. Thank you for putting my mind at ease!"

People are generally thrilled and relieved to finally see their true cognitive type. You can read about some of our clients' experiences here.
Our method is no secret either. We're confident about our typing system and want to share it with the world. Below are the criteria we examine on every cognitive type assessment.

Body Language
The quality of your body language reveals your strongest extraverted process. People who have strong extraverted judging have judging body language. Likewise, people who have strong extraverted perceiving have perceiving body language.
Judging body language matches the extraverted judging process. Both attempt to impact the external environment while observing the internal environment. Thus, judging body language appears more intentional, articulated and controlled. The strong extraverted judger is more aware of how their energy moves outwards. Their energy is more contained. This often leads to the appearance of stiffness and orderliness.
Perceiver body language matches the extraverted perceiving process. Both attempt to impact the internal environment while observing the external environment. Thus, perceiving body language appears more relaxed, continuous and variable. The strong extraverted perceiver is more aware of how their energy moves inwards. Their energy is flowing. This often leads to the appearance of softness and slackness.
Your strongest extraverted process affects the world's first impression of you. So it's no surprise that your body language holds the clues.

Eye Movement
Your eye movement quality reveals which perceiving processes you use. Their frequency reveals the strength of each perceiving process.
Extraverted perception observes the present external environment. Its corresponding eye movement is more breadth than depth. The iris tends to traverse a large distance within the sclera. Extraverted sensing focuses on the concrete. Its irises dart in staccato fashion across the sclera, as if caught by external objects. Extraverted intuition focuses on the conceptual. Its iris movement across the sclera is smooth and drifting. It's as if it sees possibilities in the void between objects.
Introverted perception observes the internal environment. Its corresponding eye movement is more intensive than extensive. The process tends to confine the iris to a small area of the sclera. Introverted intuition focuses on the conceptual. The irises dart between two close points on a horizontal plane. It's as if they are synthesizing a vision from several pieces of sensory information. Introverted sensing focuses on the concrete. The irises drift in subtle and random motion. It's as if they are associating and comparing disparate pieces of sensory information.
Extraverted sensing always pairs with introverted intuition. Meanwhile, extraverted intuition always pairs with introverted sensing. The quality of eye movement seems to mirror the two differing units of perception. Staccato eye movement reflects perception based around concrete and discrete objects. Smooth eye movement reflects perception based on ephemeral associations between objects.

Smile Type
Your smile type reveals whether you use introverted or extraverted feeling. By elimination, it also reveals whether you use introverted or extraverted thinking.
The mouth seems to act as a portal transferring emotions to the external world. Introverted feeling smiles tend to come and go sporadically. Sudden spikes of emotion often flood these fleeting smiles. Their entire face squishes inward, mouth curved, nose bridge contracted and cheeks puffed. It's as if internal feelings bubble up and reign them back in.
Extraverted feeling smiles tend to come and go with more consistency. More even waves of emotion often permeate these smiles. Their entire face radiates outward, mouth expanding sideways and cheeks stretched. It's as if they're projecting emotions into the external world.

Vocal Tone
Your vocal tone reveals which judging processes you use. The structure of your speech reveals the orientation of your strongest judging process. Words have the power to affect our external and internal environments. Our words, tone and delivery reveal how we evaluate information.
Extraverted judging tends to structure and affect the external environment. People with strong extraverted judging tend have more structured sentences. Their speech seems more intentional and organized. In contrast, introverted judging tends to be more observational towards the external environment. People with strong introverted judging tend to have more improvisational speech. It's as if they are reacting to the words they themselves externalized.
Extraverted feeling tends to see the emotional atmosphere as external and universal. People who use extraverted feeling tend to place emphasis to create a melodious tone. Extraverted thinking tends to see information as external and evident. People who use extraverted thinking tend to emphasize key information in their speech.
People with strong introverted thinking tend to have improvisational speech and melodious emphasis. People with strong introverted feeling tend to have improvisational speech and sporadic emphasis. People with strong extraverted feeling tend to have structured speech and melodious emphasis. People with strong extraverted thinking tend to have structured speech and sporadic emphasis.

Speech Pattern
Your speech pattern reveals which perceiving processes you use. How you connect sentences and ideas together mirrors your primary mode of perception.
Strong introverted sensing tends to list several observations of a topic. These observations tend to have a subjective link to the topic. For example, introverted sensors may mention factoids and past experiences. Sometimes, they explore different conceptual facets of the topic. They try to understand a topic by exploring fragmented perspectives.
Strong introverted intuition tends to broaden a topic to a more general topic. This topic tends to be more vague and encompassing. Introverted intuitives may list a few concrete observations as supporting evidence. They try to solve the topic by answering it in its entirety. Often, they arrive at a position on the topic.
Strong extraverted intuition tends to bounce off of a topic to other topics. These topics tend to have conceptual connections to each other. Extraverted intuitives sometimes reveal the subjective connections they made between topics. They try to explore the topic by touching on tangential topics.
Strong extraverted sensing tends to list concrete observations of a topic. Extraverted sensors may also discuss related topics. These topics tend to have concrete connections to each other. Sometimes, they may summarize their observations as a general idea. They try to observe the physical manifestations of a topic and its related topics.

Sentence Type
Your sentence type frequency reveals whether your strongest process is judging or perceiving. The two sentence types are evaluative and descriptive. They complement the two types of cognitive processes, which are evaluative and observational.
People with a primary judging process tend to use more evaluative sentences. These are sentences like "it's a smart idea" and "people are interesting". Primary judgers tend to prefer to decide upon information first and then explore it. They may adjust their evaluations of information as they go. Thus, many evaluative sentences tend to pepper their speech.
People with a primary perceiving process tend to use more descriptive sentences. These are sentences like "I had an idea this morning" and "I used to find people interesting". Primary perceivers tend to prefer to explore information first before deciding upon it. Sometimes, they may prefer to keep it open instead of coming to a decision. Thus, they tend to often exhibit descriptive sentences and rarely evaluative sentences.
