64 questions·10 min·6 dimensions·up to 14 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test divides the answers between five ways of handling information: structured logic, the production of unexpected ideas, concrete action, the need to step back before deciding, and reading a situation on instinct.
The report shows which one leads and what that implies for working in a team.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
