    A new book is under production
    In 2016 the first book was published, but during the past
    six years we have learned a lot more about the physical
    reality of types. An updated guide is coming.

A Comprehensive Model
Cognitive Typology covers the phenomenon of type at all scales of magnification, 
from the cognitive level to the visual level, the behavioral level, and the psychodynamic level.
Read the full article

Metabolism

.

We start with how the cognitive functions exist as metabolic pathways of the brain at the millisecond level. The functions construct one's cognitive experience and the qualia of one's  phenomenology.

Vultology

.

Next, those metabolic processes manifest facial and bodily expressions as a byproduct of their cognitive operations. These signals transpire at the second-by-second level and can be read to identify type. 
Read More

Behavior

.

We next scale up to the level of daily activities and behaviors. At this scale, cognitive type manifests through typical lifestyle choices, career differences, preferences and  perspectives on life.
Read More

Psychodynamics

.

Lastly, type manifests in decade-long or life-long patterns and struggles. Our type influences the major challenges we face, our ego formation and the nature of our unconscious.

  • What I find very attractive about the CT approach is its sincere interest in the truth of type. Their Youtube channel may have a small following at present, but the quality of the material available is unfathomable. The creators of CT are so focused on creating a solid, falsifiable and replicable scientific model, and are so interested in the pursuit of the truth, that they are not considering the marketing aspect a priority. CT may not be as well-known and ubiquitous as things like CS Joseph and Objective Personality, but I believe that it is the best of the three, and the real future of scientific typology.

  • Firstly, even if you are super skeptical about the notion of figuring out somebody's type by watching their facial expressions, still take a look at the book. You don't even necessarily have to buy it, as I understand he's put a significant amount online just because he wants to get the ideas out there more than anything else... He's put a lot of time into this book so definitely check out the information 'cause that's what he, if anything, is looking for.

  • Cognitive Typology is a fantastic system. My favorite one so far as it's truly doing something different in the world of typology and is trying to make an objective typing system, which isn't by any means an easy task to do. The concepts of CT, the functions, the compound functions, the developments, all of these are fantastic. On top of developing a system that makes sense, there's also case studies and research that adds validity to the theories that CT talks about. This isn't something that I've seen with other systems. If they do, they don't share this publicly, but CT does.

  • The most significant obstacle to me landing on an accurate “type” was me. For decades, I mastered wearing a “skin”. It was akin to wearing gorilla costume compared to an actual gorilla. Not only did I deceive others, but I also deceived myself.

  • Hello. Reading this topic, brings up some doubts in my mind.

    However, first I want to thank once again Auburn and everyone else is involded in the project for the project itself and for the opportunity that you are giving us to participate in the discussion.

    So, let's go to the doubts.

  • Hi all. This is a good amount of helpful information, that clarify a lot of things,  so thanks.

    If I should find some other points to clarify, at least for me, are:

    V- worldview building that I would say happening, almost all the time, picking up data from long-term memory and

    what the function of V+ is in this respect? If it doesn't directly…Read more

  • Hello and thanks for all the information and explanation.

    I was wondering something about these functions .  If the Compass function of R radiates/indicate/push toward a direction making, so, the ultimate decision,  because of being a Compass, then because of G types being pulled toward a direction, then what the role of G Compass is?

    Also, if w…Read more

  • Thanks for sharing this big amount of information 👏🏽👏🏽

    I hope this is the correct place to post this, maybe it was already clarified somewhere. I have a doubt about how we can consider the P system in the brain, I mean only on a superficial plane and specifically about P-. That is, should we consider P- a brain portion that is stocking our memory…Read more

  • Finally the question is: should we consider Ni as an ongoing perception function or a formulaic one? In the former case, Ni cannot have a vision,  thus a somewhat fixed symbol, because is always changing ; in the latter case, Ni should be considered both perceptive and formulaic, thus a symbol can be extracted.

    Thanks again.
