Axes of mind

Collecting different dimensions along which minds vary

  • Verbal/nonverbal
    • do you have self talk? does articulating thoughts and feelings come easily?
  • Coupled/decoupled
    • are you able to easily think from particular frames and reference points?)
  • high/low voltage
    • local quality of thought, not simply volume of energy but a resonance or vibrance
    • Brain Fog is a low-voltage state, while confidence/joy/excitement are high-voltage states
  • intrinsic/extrinsic
    • are you driven internally or externally? do you attend more to others or to yourself? do you have a connection with your inner self? how much external validation do you seek?
  • visual/nonvisual
    • can you see things in your mind's eye? does spatial thinking come easily to you?

not 100% on if the meyers-briggs attributes feel valid here-- they're not exactly scales but different categories. Maybe they should be individual dimensions, other than intro/extroversion?

  • Extraversion/Introversion
  • Sensing/Intuition
  • Thinking/Feeling
  • Perceiving/Judging
