Cognitive Typology (CT) is a research project, with an evolving theory attached to it. It gathers body-mannerism data and forms testable hypotheses about the connection between cognition and physical expressions. The project began from an investigation of whether Jung's Psychological Types have a physically measurable reality to them in bodily expressions; what we call vultology. This exploration led to groundbreaking findings that now underpin the theory.

Unlike traditional Jungian typologies, CT does not simply accept Jung's hypotheses at face value. Instead, each facet of his theories is rigorously examined, and only those with empirical evidence are preserved. As a result, CT offers a dynamic take on Jungian typology, anchoring it in observational and experimental data, where types manifest as distinct groupings of body mannerisms linked with specific cognitive patterns.
