About the methodology
The 'Thinking Type' methodology was developed by Russian psychologist G.V. Rezapkina for career guidance purposes and is based on cognitive style classification.
It identifies five main thinking types, each responsible for a specific way of processing information. The theoretical foundation includes Howard Gardner's work on multiple intelligences (1983), Robert Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence (1985), and Joy Guilford's structure of intellect model (1967).
The test has undergone psychometric validation and is widely used in educational institutions and career guidance centers.
