Cognitive Profile

Measure and train your brain's performance capabilities

What is Cognitive Profiling? These tests measure fundamental brain capabilities: how quickly you process information, how much you can hold in working memory, how well you adapt to new rules, and how effectively you focus attention. Unlike personality tests, these measure cognitive performance objectively.

Raven's Progressive Matrices

Pattern Recognition

Measure abstract reasoning and fluid intelligence. The gold standard for non-verbal IQ testing.

Digit Span

Working Memory

Test your working memory capacity by recalling sequences of digits forward and backward.

N-Back Training

Memory Training

Train your working memory and cognitive control. May improve fluid intelligence with practice.

Trail Making Test

Processing Speed

Assess visual attention, processing speed, and task switching by connecting dots in sequence.

Understanding Your Cognitive Profile

Fluid vs Crystallized Intelligence

These tests measure fluid intelligence (reasoning, pattern recognition) which is distinct from crystallized intelligence (accumulated knowledge). Both are important.

State-Dependent Performance

Cognitive test results can vary based on sleep, stress, and time of day. Take tests when you're well-rested for the most accurate picture of your capabilities.

Brain Training Potential

While base cognitive abilities are relatively stable, specific skills can be improved with practice. N-Back training, for example, may enhance working memory.

Clinical Applications

These tests are used clinically to assess cognitive function in conditions like ADHD, brain injury, and aging. Consistent changes may warrant professional evaluation.
