Cognitive Profiling

Cognitive functioning is one of the most reliable predictors of performance and health throughout the life span.

​

However, common limitations to cognitive tests are failing to account for changes in contexts and the “diversity trade-offs”. This means that individuals and groups with a minority status and differences in experiences compared to the status quo often underperform in most cognitive tests. Such tests can severly disadvantage neurodivergent individuals, those with cultural differences, or anyone who doesn't perfectly fit into the social norms and expectations.

​

Cognitive profiles are developed to identify unique strengths of individuals and groups within their specific contexts. Rather than comparing individuals to a broad population that fails to account for their unique contextual demands and their individuality, profiling connects their strengths to facilitate optimal functioning in their specific context. Because these profiles are context driven, they can be developed and applied in diverse areas such as Education, Sport, and Work.

​

Evidence and research into the fit between individuals and their environment have been developed over the past 100 years, revealing consistent findings that can benefit your people and organisation such as.

​

• Increase satisfaction and attitudes: A better fit with the environment means less difficulties and frustration to meet the demand of the situation.

• Better performance, belief, and resilience: Profiles are developed to enhance strengths, leading to improve performance and self-belief.

• Health and Wellbeing: Less chronic stressors which over time can significantly contribute to psychological and physical health problems.

• Team and task cohesion: More awareness of the team natural predisposition means making adaptive changes to the environment to facilitate group functioning.

• Inclusive environments: Profiling can help create a more inclusive environment that recognises the unique strengths of everyone.

If you are having difficulties achieving objectives or managing your team effectively, then cognitive profiling may be the solution you need. No two cognitive profiles are the same. Profiles are tailored to specific objectives, the unique characteristics of individuals or groups, and their contexts. Get in touch below.
