The four Thinking Types are brought to you by the minds behind CQ: Communication Quotient(™). Based on psychology, neuroscience and communication research, our test assesses your habits and tendencies - how you think, your internal monologue and how you act - to help you better understand who you are and how you communicate with the world around you.
Remember, the four Thinking Types aren’t black and white. While there is probably one type that best describes your style, you may change at different points in your life, or even throughout your day! Ultimately, critical thinking is a central part of communication and plays a vital role in fostering effective decision making . So think of these as useful frameworks that can help point you in the right direction towards achieving agile, focused and smarter interactions, powering your unique potential.

Being a Reactive Thinker is not uncommon, especially in today's fast-paced world, where quick decisions seem necessary. This is a result of our brains efficiently using patterns and biases for rapid information processing.
However, in the long run, thoughtful decisions tend to yield better results than hasty, ill-informed ones. Innovative problem-solving thrives when we take a moment to pause and analyze situations without rushing to conclusions.
Our Critical Thinking course is part of the comprehensive communication series CQ, The New IQ. It’s designed to provide you with practical, step-by-step solutions to enhance your critical thinking skills. Embark on this journey to improve your decision-making, both at work and in your personal life.
