You Just Discovered How Your Brain Actually Works with AI

If you found this page, you probably just completed the AI Collaboration Diagnostic and realized something important: the way you've been using AI doesn't match how your brain actually processes information.

You're not alone. Most people struggle with AI because they're fighting against their natural cognitive style instead of working with it.

What Is Creative Intelligence?

Creative Intelligence is the ability to think with AI rather than just use AI. It's the difference between:

Algorithmic Thinking: Insert prompt → Extract answer → Move on

  • Treats AI like a search engine
  • Accepts generic responses
  • Creates dependency on AI tools
  • Leads to predictable, mediocre results

Creative Intelligence: Engage → Generate → Evaluate → Refine → Apply

  • Treats AI as a thinking partner
  • Demands personalized collaboration
  • Amplifies human cognitive abilities
  • Produces original insights and breakthrough thinking

Why This Matters Now

We're living through a cognitive revolution. Just like writing changed how humans think 5,000 years ago, AI is changing how we think today.

Companies aren't just eliminating positions—they're restructuring around cognitive capabilities. The question every organization is asking: "What kind of thinking does this role actually require?"

If your job involves only taking inputs and producing predictable outputs, you're vulnerable. But if you can shift between different thinking modes and use AI to amplify both creativity and analysis, you position yourself to thrive as the landscape changes.


Your AI Collaboration Profile: The Missing Piece

Think about it: You wouldn't use the same teaching method for a visual learner and someone who learns through hands-on experience. So why do you use the same prompts and expect AI to work for everyone?

Your AI Collaboration Profile reveals:

  • How your brain processes information (visual vs. verbal, big picture vs. details)
  • Your optimal information pace (dense delivery vs. spaced presentation)
  • How you build understanding (connecting to existing knowledge vs. starting fresh)
  • Where you typically get stuck (data overwhelm, relevance gaps, application challenges)
  • What AI role works best for you (teacher, coach, collaborator, critic, or tool)
  • Your ideal response format (lists, paragraphs, dialogue, visuals)

The Result: Personalized AI Instructions

Instead of fighting AI's generic responses, you get a copy-paste instruction that makes any AI tool work the way your brain actually thinks. Use it with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or whatever AI tool you prefer.

Example for a Visual, Breadth-First Thinker: "I process information visually and need big picture context before details. When responding: Start with visual metaphors or diagrams when possible. Give me the overview first, then break details into clearly separated sections. Use bullet points and headers rather than dense paragraphs. Build on concepts I already understand rather than starting from scratch."


The Diagnostic Tool: How It Works

The Science Behind the Assessment

The Creative Intelligence Diagnostic is based on decades of cognitive science research. It measures 10 cognitive dimensions that determine how you collaborate most effectively with AI:

  1. Information Processing Style - Visual vs. verbal thinking
  2. Information Organization - Breadth-first vs. depth-first approach
  3. Information Pace - Dense vs. paced delivery preferences
  4. Knowledge Foundation Strategy - How you build on existing understanding
  5. Understanding Bottlenecks - Where comprehension typically breaks down
  6. AI Role Preference - Optimal AI behavior for your thinking style
  7. Format Preferences - Structure that enhances comprehension
  8. Communication Feedback Style - How you receive input most effectively
  9. Contextual Adaptation - How preferences shift across situations
  10. Advanced Learning Patterns - Sophisticated cognitive preferences
