Assessments

  • Intro survey
  • No account needed
  • Five minutes or less

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 the clusters, which are the patterns people already notice in themselves. You can browse the traits, which are 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.
Three clusters
At the end you get three pages on the map. They are the patterns your answers point at.
Five minutes or less
Most people are through it faster than that.
Nothing is stored
No account needed, and your answers are never kept. Nothing is saved unless you choose to save it.

Keeping what you find

Sign in and your three clusters save to your profile on their own. They sit next to the clusters you have marked as yours, so what the survey suggested and what you decided end up in one place. Come back and add to it as the map grows.

This is me
On any cluster 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.
