What is Cognitive Diversity At Work™?

Everyone has access to four different ways of thinking at work: analytical, practical, relational, and experimental. You have your own strength of preference for each way of thinking: either strong, medium, or low. Your mix of preferences describe your own individual Cognitive Diversity At Work™.

So, when you interact with other people the results can be very varied: agreement, groupthink, supportive, synergy, misunderstandings, conflict…

How is Cognitive Diversity At Work™ visualised?

We use the Herrmann Whole Brain® Model. It is a metaphorical model which is linked to the physical structures of the brain, is fact based, and brain based.

You can access all four quadrants, and you have preferences in each quadrant. This in turn serves as the foundation for measuring and profiling.

Cognitive Diversity profile of Michael Davis

How is Cognitive Diversity At Work™ profiled?

We use the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®) to produce your profile, with a detailed report including a wealth of supporting insights.

The profile shown is summarised as 2211, reading anti clockwise from quadrant A.  A score of 3 means a low preference, 2 means a medium preference, and 1 means a strong preference. 1 and 1+ indicate the thinking modes you prefer to use when working with others to communicate and gel, to collaborate, to solve problems and make decisions. The dotted line shows the profile when thinking under pressure.

To get your Individual Profile, please go to Profiling.
