A profile of your cognitive development is presented below, based on how you have described yourself. A 4-letter personality type code and temperament are also presented for your convenience if you are familiar with those frameworks. Most people find their results match their 4-letter personality type code and temperament. That is, we tend to develop what we prefer and vice versa. As you reflect on your cognitive profile, keep in mind that sometimes we develop a cognitive process to meet the demands of our environment or use a process well in one area of our lives but not others.</p>
<p class="Content" style="color:rgb(55,57,49);font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;">'''The Eight Processes'''
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung identified four mental functions — today known as cognitive processes. We focus our attention and gather information using Sensing (S) and iNtuiting (N), and we organize our experiences and make decisions using Thinking (T) and Feeling (F). Jung described how each of these four processes plays out in a person's "internal world" (I) of thoughts, feelings, memories and imagination; and in the "external world" (E) of actions, people, tools and organizations. Thus, 8 cognitive processes (Se, Si, Ne, Ni, Te, Ti, Fe, Fi).</p>
<p class="Content" style="color:rgb(55,57,49);font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;">'''Basic and Developed Use'''
Each cognitive process can be engaged in a basic, unsophisticated way reflecting our natural human capabilities. Almost everyone can engage each process in some basic way. Beyond this, you will engage some cognitive processes in a more sophisticated, developed way. This is usually the result of innate preference plus lifelong growth and practice, which equals development.</p>

<p class="Content" style="color:rgb(55,57,49);font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;">Development is more than basic or developed use of processes in isolation. Excellent use of a cognitive process involves both basic and advanced use as appropriate, and ability to deploy other processes in its service. Average to good use usually means we can use the process in limited situations or use it well but only with the aid of other processes. Poor use means basic use at most. Finally, we may get ourselves into trouble when we don't use a process at all.</p>

The forty-eight questions you rated earlier tap into the eight cognitive processes. Some questions tapped into basic or developed use of a process used by itself, while other questions tapped into use of multiple processes at once. The profile below is based on your responses. The number of squares indicate strength of response. The equivalent numeric is shown in parentheses along with likely level of development.</p>

By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: '''[http://www.bestfittype.com/infp.html INFP]'''</p>
<p class="Content">'''Lead (Dominant) Process'''
'''Introverted Feeling (Fi):''' Staying true to who you really are. Paying close attention to your personal identity, values and beliefs. Checking with your conscience. Choosing behavior congruent with what is important to you.
'''Support (Auxilliary) Process'''
'''Extraverted Intuiting (Ne):''' Exploring the emerging patterns. Wondering about patterns of interaction across various situations. Checking what hypotheses and meanings fit best. Trusting what emerges as you shift a situation’s dynamics.</p>
<p class="Content" style="color:rgb(55,57,49);font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;">If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: '''[http://www.bestfittype.com/enfp.html ENFP]''', or '''[http://www.bestfittype.com/isfp.html ISFP]'''
If these results are different from what you know of yourself, you might consider why your developmental pattern does not align with your expectation. You might also consider exploring this result as a possible better fit.</p>
