Time to meet your

thinking type.

But before you do, a quick note. The four Thinking Types (Reactive, Unaware, Inflexible, Critical) aren’t black and white categories. While there’s one type that describes you today, that’s very likely to change at different points in your life, or even throughout the course of a week!

So think of this as a useful framework. One meant to help you achieve agile, focused interactions, while powering your unique potential.

Hmm, today your patterns lean toward:

Unaware Thinker

You might sometimes feel… time-poor, absent-minded, or overwhelmed

Remember, your type can change depending on your mindset, or even the time of day! Learn more about the science.

Unaware thinking is more common than you might think, especially in a world where we’re constantly multitasking and faced with endless choices. It’s easy to slip into autopilot mode, opting for the quickest or easiest solution just to get through the day. But quick fixes often create more work in the long run, leaving us stuck without impactful solutions.

To shift our approach takes effort. But that quickly pays off in smarter decisions and better outcomes.

Our CQ Critical Thinking course is here to help. Packed with practical tools, it will help you think more clearly, solve problems more effectively, and tackle challenges with a fresh perspective.

The four Thinker Types are brought to you by the minds behind CQ: Communication Quotient™. Based on psychology, neuroscience and communication research, our test assesses your habits and tendencies - how you think, your internal monologue and how you act - to help you better understand who you are and how you communicate with the world around you. 

Remember, the four Thinker Types aren’t black and white. While there is probably one type that best describes your style, you may change at different points in your life, or even throughout your day! Ultimately, negotiation is a central part of communication and plays a vital role in fostering effective exchanges leading to long term relationships. So think of these as useful frameworks that can help point you in the right direction towards achieving agile, focused and smarter interactions, powering your unique potential.

Hmm, today your patterns lean toward:

Inflexible Thinker

You might sometimes feel… headstrong, determined, or persistent

Remember, your type can change depending on your mindset, or even the time of day! Learn more about the science.

This isn’t always a bad thing! Having clear beliefs can be incredibly valuable when making decisions. That said, being open to new ideas and stepping out of your comfort zone can unlock opportunities for growth and fresh perspectives. By recognizing personal biases and challenging them, you can discover the benefits of more flexible thinking.

Reactive thinking is common, especially in today’s fast-paced world. Often, our brains rely on shortcuts and patterns to process information quickly, convincing us to act immediately. Taking a moment to pause and analyze situations can unlock more thoughtful solutions and innovative problem-solving.
