What this test measures
The Cognitive Strengths Profile scores you on 4 dimensions using 8 scenario questions. Nothing is timed and there are no trick questions — pick the answer that is closest to what you actually do, not what sounds best. When you finish, your report ranks every dimension from strongest to weakest, so you can see at a glance where the leverage is and where the leak is.
The 4 dimensions you are scored on
Your report ranks these from strongest to weakest. The lowest one is almost always where the next 30 days should go.
Sample questions
These are real questions from the test, exactly as you will see them. The full test has all of them — same style, no filler.
1. Solving puzzles and 'why' questions...
- Delights you
- Engages you
- Tires you
- You avoid them
2. In an argument you enjoy...
- Finding the flaw in the logic
- Weighing both sides
- Going with your gut
- Ending it quickly
3. Reading and writing...
- Is your natural home
- Is solid
- Is a chore
- Happens only when required
How the scoring works
Each answer adds points to one of the 4 dimensions. At the end your points are converted into a 0–100 score per dimension, so a dimension you never get tested on cannot inflate your result. The report shows the ranking plus the gap between your best and worst dimension — that gap, not the average, is what usually predicts where you stall.
Your answers are not published and are not used to score you against anyone else. You can retake the test; a retake replaces the previous result.

Who it is for
- People who want a straight answer rather than a flattering one.
- Anyone at a decision point — a new role, a stuck project, a relationship pattern that keeps repeating.
- Readers who prefer a short structured test over a 300-page book.
You cannot fix a thinking bias you cannot see. These questions put you in situations where the shortcut is tempting, then show you which shortcut you took and what it usually costs.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Cognitive Strengths Profile really free?
Yes. You answer all 8 questions and get a basic report at no cost — overall result plus your strongest and weakest dimension. The full report is a one-off $9.99, no subscription.
How long does it take?
About 4 minutes. There is no timer, and you can reopen the link later — your position is saved in the browser.
Do I need an account?
A free Google sign-in is required before you start. It exists so your report is tied to you and can be reopened or shared, and it keeps the ratings on this site from being spammed. No password, no card.
How is it scored?
Each answer scores exactly one dimension. Dimensions are converted to 0–100 separately and then ranked — no hidden weighting, and nothing rolled into a single total you cannot inspect.
Is this a clinical or professional diagnosis?
No. It is an educational self-assessment built on published frameworks, not a validated clinical instrument, and it does not replace advice from a doctor, therapist, lawyer or accountant.
Can I use it with a team or with clients?
Yes. The shareable link lets one other person see your result, which is usually enough to start a useful conversation. For repeated or group use, the All-Access pass covers every test on the site for $49.
