Understanding how you think
A cognitive assessment measures intellectual ability across several domains — verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. It provides an objective picture of someone's thinking profile.
The results help explain why certain tasks feel easy and others feel harder, and they form the foundation for many other assessments, from learning disorders to giftedness and support planning.
