Assessments

Assessments point you at the part of the map that fits. They do not score you.

There are three ways into CognaType. You can browse Patterns, the experiences people already notice in themselves. You can browse the traits, the dials underneath. Or you can answer a few questions and let the map point you somewhere to start.

This page is the third way. It is descriptive, not diagnostic. What comes back is a reading list, not a result about you.

The intro survey

Ten questions

Short sentences, one at a time. You tap yes, sometimes, or no.

Pattern matches and places to explore

At the end you get up to three Pattern matches your answers point at. If there are fewer, clearly marked Explore pages give you more to read; they are not matches.

Five minutes or less

Most people are through it faster than that.

You choose what to save

No account is needed to take the survey. If you sign in and save a completed take, only actual Pattern matches become claims; Explore pages do not.

Keeping what you find

Sign in to save your actual Pattern matches to your profile. Explore pages stay suggestions to read, not statements about you. Your survey history and the Patterns you mark as yours stay distinguishable, so you can revisit both as the map grows.

This is me

On any Pattern page, signed in, you can mark it as yours. The survey suggests; you confirm.

Your profile

One page holding both: what you marked yourself, and what the survey pointed at.

Signing in is open to anyone. You can create a login or sign in first, or take the survey now and decide afterwards.

What comes next

The intro survey is the first one, not the only one. A full trait survey is being written, and it goes deeper: the dials underneath, rather than the patterns on top. There is no date for it yet. The intro survey is worth taking either way.
