Well, in this episode, I'll be guiding you through this engaging quiz, discussing the benefits of knowing your animal brain type, and sharing insights on how you could leverage your unique strengths and these traits for accelerated learning, enhanced productivity, and optimal personal growth. And when you discover your brain type, it's like, you know, you want to know yourself. You want to have the curiosity to know yourself. And so all of you, you're going to get so much benefit going through it. It only takes a handful of minutes. When you discover your brain type, which animal that you are, this quiz is a very creative and engaging way to help you understand your cognitive styles, your learning styles, and your preferences. You're going to want to do this with your teams. You're definitely going to want to do this with your family, your significant other. It's going to be very revealing, revealing. It's going to be very revealing to help you discover and develop your cognitive strengths. And to create this assessment, this quiz, we drew on inspiration from several well-established theories. Models in psychology and neuroscience and the cognitive sciences. We drew on multiple intelligence theory, which we've talked about in our program and our podcast before, developed by Howard Gardner. This theory suggests that people possess different types of intelligences, such as linguistic, logical, mathematical, spatial, visual, musical, body kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, right? And so this quiz can be linked to these different intelligences by emphasizing how each animal brain type excels in certain areas. I'm also going to draw on some learning style theory. And some of this is a little bit debatable, but what I want to do is for you to see general, because we always see things through a filter and a framework, but I want to make this, give this very high utility. And so you think about the various models of learning styles. Some people like to learn through visual, other people like to learn through auditory, other people are more kinesthetic learners. We've incorporated this idea in this quiz to help individuals like yourself who want to go and uplevel their learning in their life. And we pull on information on how people can learn their best. So you can reference the research on learning styles. We've talked about it a lot in Limitless as well for those of you who read it, which I assume is most of you. Do not just buy this book. Make sure you read this book. Make sure you apply this book. Also drew as inspiration personality types. Some of you are familiar with Myers-Briggs, this kind of type indicator, the Big 5 personality traits, openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, neuroticism. Like we pulled from a lot of different inspirations. These are well-known models in personality psychology. We also pulled on brain dominance theory. We've talked about this in the book as well. This is Roger W. Sperry's work, research around the lateralization around brain function suggests that people have a dominant hemisphere, maybe left or right, and this This is a gross simplification. Left tends to be more logical, language, sounds, more linear. Right tends to be more visual, more creative, if you will, more systems approach. And so we incorporated some inspiration there. We also pulled from the cognitive styles, research on cognitive styles such as field dependence, independence, holistic analytical thinking, those who are more reflective, other people are more impulsive thinking can be used also. But I really want to make this simple. This is, you know, it is meant to be a little bit entertaining and educational and empowering certainly as well. And nothing is absolutely definitive, right? This is a series of questions that we've put together to help you find what I call your animal brain type. So let's jump into the 4 animal brain types. I think you're gonna remember it because of course I came up with an easy way to remember it. Just remember code because this is like your brain code. And then as I'm going through these 4 animals, you could kind of see where you land, but you definitely wanna take the quiz. And the quiz is going to give you a detailed report on how you apply your animal type towards learning, towards memory, towards reading, towards note-taking, towards your career, and so much more. You could get the quiz at mybrainanimal.com. Very easy to remember, mybrainanimal.com. So first off, we have the Cheetahs. These are instinctive doers. You thrive on action, on intuition, on quick thinking. Cheetahs excel in fast-paced environments and they adapt easily to new challenges. And then we also have the owls. I'm gonna give you kind of a big view. So the O in CODE, your owls, those are your logical thinkers. You might see yourself in this. These individuals are very analytical. They're organized, they're detail-oriented. They excel at tasks that require critical thinking, systematic approaches. Your third animal, the D. in CODE are your dolphins, and they represent your creative visionaries. These individuals are imaginative, they are curious, they're innovative thinkers. They excel in areas of creative flexibility, of pattern recognition. And finally, we have the E in CODE are your elephants, and your elephants are your collaborators. They are your connectors. Elephants are more empathetic. They enjoy communication. They're very team-oriented, and they excel at tasks that require collaboration, negotiation, relationship building. So just remember code C-O-D-E. Again, you have your cheetahs, your owls, your dolphins, and you also have your elephants.
