How I Think · How I’m Wired

How your mind works, including problem-solving, creativity, patterns and details. Your natural thinking style.

14 statements, about 5 minutes. For each one, pick “That’s me”, “Sometimes” or “Not really”. Free, and not a diagnosis. At the end you get feedback in words: your strengths, what can feel harder, what helps you and ideas to try.

  • I come up with creative or unusual ideas.
  • I notice details and mistakes.
  • I think in pictures, systems or stories.
  • When something interests me, I go deep.
  • I solve problems in my own way.

What can feel harder

  • My mind jumps between lots of thoughts at once.
  • It’s hard to switch off my thinking at night.
  • I get stuck on a thought or worry.
  • It can be hard to explain how I got to an answer.

What helps

  • Writing or drawing ideas out.
  • Talking ideas through with someone.
  • Time to think before deciding.
  • Being allowed to do things my own way.
