How the Scales are Structured

example score
-2/5
Limbic Function–Cortical Activity (LFCA)
This scale measures whether thinking is more influenced by emotional/relational (limbic) processes or by rational/analytical (cortical) processing.
Limbic-leaning
Balanced
Cortical-leaning
-5-1Limbic-leaning0Balanced15Cortical-leaning
A score of -2 indicates a mild limbic leaning, suggesting emotions and interpersonal cues tend to influence your thinking more than purely analytical reasoning.
example score
2/5
Left-Brain vs. Right-Brain (LBvRB)
Measures whether a person tends to process information more through left-hemisphere analytical structure or right-hemisphere intuitive holism.
Left-leaning
Balanced
Right-leaning
-5-1Left-leaning0Balanced15Right-leaning
A score of 2 suggests a mild right-leaning style, with a preference for intuitive, imaginative, and big-picture processing while still retaining some structure.

Mindset Type Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This brief self-report measure is designed to characterize an individual’s preferred cognitive style and decision-making tendencies. The Mindset Type Questionnaire is intended as a rapid screening tool for describing patterns in how a person approaches problems and manages demands.

The questionnaire consists of 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Responses yield a qualitative profile that can be used to support reflective discussion in coaching, educational, or workplace contexts; results should be interpreted cautiously and should not be used as a substitute for a comprehensive psychological evaluation.

The Mindset Type Questionnaire is attributed to Howard Gardner.
