Thinking Diagnostic

Thanks for taking the time to do this diagnostic.

Before you start, here are a few things to keep in mind about what it is and how to use it.

First, this is not a personality quiz, and it’s not a “what type are you” game. It’s a stress test for reasoning: you’ll be placed into short scenarios and asked to choose what you’d actually do or infer. The goal is to locate where your thinking tends to break under pressure. It's not a judgment of your intelligence or potential.

Most people fail because they’re using the wrong mental move for the situation. This doesn't happen becuse they're unintelligent. Sometimes they freeze until certainty arrives; sometimes they close too early and defend a story; sometimes they confuse description for explanation, or correlation for leverage.

This diagnostic is built to detect those failure modes directly.

The framework behind it has been refined in real classrooms and through years of research into how people think and learn. It’s a carefully designed path that leads to a diagnosis of your thinking. What you'll get from this is not an academic exercise: the point is to produce an actionable diagnosis you can use immediately.

Answer honestly. Don’t pick what sounds sophisticated. Pick what you’d actually do. If you try to perform intelligence, you’ll get a flattering result and a useless plan.

At the end, you’ll get a short diagnosis and a personalized syllabus: a primary module to start with, and a secondary module to remove the next constraint once you begin applying the first.

Time: ~5–8 minutes. Forward-only, no backtracking.

Note

If a question feels ambiguous, answer anyway. Try to think of real life scenarios that match the situation.
