The Cognitive Profile Model
Introduction to the Burke/Lonvig Model
By Dr. Lois Breur Krause, Clemson University, South Carolina, USA
The Cognitive Profile model is based
on C.G. Jung's theory of personality
type. The Jungian personality type
model has four bipolar descriptors:
introvert/extrovert, sensor/intuitive,
thinker/feeler, and judger/perceiver.
The Cognitive Profile model
abbreviates the Jungian personality
type model for practical application to
individual styles of learning and
comprehension. The Cognitive Profile
model uses only the thinker / feeler
and sensor / intuitive bipoles of the
Jungian model as indicators of
personal processes for the
comprehension of information.

Introduction to the Burke/Lonvig Model
The Cognitive Profile result
displays the thinker/ feeler
bipole in the y-axis, and the
sensor/ intuitive bipole in
the x-axis.
The Cognitive Profile model
has four quadrants
described by its two bipoles:
SensorFeeler,
SensorThinker,
IntuitiveFeeler and
IntuitiveThinker.

This figure is the result of a
recent online test - The
Cognitive Profile Inventory - of
an artist.
Cognitive Profile Inventory is
developed for learning
purposes but it is based on the
same principals as the Whole
Brain Model and Herrmann
Brain Dominance Instrument HBDI. To ease comparison
the colors of the quadrants in
this test result are equivalent
to the colors in HBDI.

Lucky he is already an
artist. His is not logic,
realistic, nor does he
know about money.
This is obvious, when you
take a closer look at the
blue quadrant. His red
and green quadrants are
OK.
He got 1.0 in creativity,
that’s the yellow quadrant.
If he was not already an
artist this Cognitive Profile
tells him to
become one.

Lucky she is
already a school
teacher. Her
green and yellow
quadrants are
relatively small.
But.
She is a brilliant
teacher.
She got 1.0 in
Sensor/Feeler,
that’s the red
quadrant.
She is logical,
realistic and she
know about
money. If she was
not already a
schoole teacher
this Cognitive
Profile tells her to
become one.

About marriage between the artist and the teacher
Would you recommend the artist and the teacher to marry?
If they decide to merry, what specific talks and agreements do they need before marriage?
Let’s presume they marry – how many years would you predict this marriage will last?

The Burke/Lonvig Model
The Burke/Lonvig Model is probably the first creativity boost that is based on the rare
combination of
1. Psychology,
2. Art and
3. Information Technology - IT
which are the joined competences of Organisation Psychologist Stephen Joseph
Burke, who is Irish and Artist, Designer, Fairy Tale Writer and Software Engineer by
IBM, Asbjorn Lonvig, who is Danish.
The Burke/Lonvig Model is conducted in seminars held by Stephen Joseph Burke
and Asbjorn Lonvig.
In short:
1. Psychology
Convinces the seminar participant through REALIZATION that he/she is able to
enter and work in the Yellow Q.
2. Art
Shows the seminar participant through INSPIRATION how to work in the
Yellow Q.
3. Information Technology - IT
the seminar participants are supported BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER the
seminar through
The Burke/Lonvig Model
1. Psychology:
The Burke/Lonvig Model is based on Carl
Gustav Jung’s theories.
Stephen Joseph Burke has worked with C. G.
Jung's psychology for many years and is certified
in C. G. Jung's type indicator.
The Burke/Lonvig Model is further more based
on The Ned Herrmann’s Whole Brain Model and
The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument.
Stephen Joseph Burke is certified in Ned
Herrmann's Brain Dominance Instrument.
The psychology part convinces the seminar
participant through REALIZATION that he/she is
able to enter and work in the Yellow Q.
The Burke/Lonvig Model
2. Art:
“Whoever speaks in primordial images speaks with a thousand
voices. . . This is the secret of great art. . . the unconscious
activation of an archetypal image and. . . elaborating and shaping
this image into the finished work. By giving it shape, the artist
translates it into the language of the present, so makes it possible
for us to find our way back to the deepest springs of life. Therein
lies the social significance of art; the artist is constantly at work
educating the spirit of the age, conjuring up the forms in which the
age is most lacking. The. . . artist reaches back to the primordial
image. . . which is best fitted to compensate the inadequacy and
one-sidedness of the present. . . seizes on this image, and . . .
brings it into relation with conscious values, thereby transforming it
until it can be accepted by the minds of his contemporaries
according to their powers.”
C.G. Jung, “On the Relation of Analytical Psychology to Poetry”
The Burke/Lonvig Model
…Art
Colorful Simplicity and Archetypal Features.
In Jungian psychology an archetype is an inherited pattern of
thought or symbolic imagery derived from the past collective
experience and present in the individual unconscious.
An archetype is a model of a person, personality, or behavior.
The Burke/Lonvig Model presenting Case Studies, Exercise
Tasks and Inspirational Cases based on Asbjorn Lonvig’s art
work in the genre Colorful Simplicity. Asbjorn Lonvig probably is
the world leading artist in Colorful Simplicity.
Asbjorn Lonvig aims at simplifying motifs in order to isolate
archetypal features and phenomena.
The use of archetypes to illuminate personality and literature was
advanced by Carl Gustav Jung early in the 20th century. He
suggested the existence of universal content-less forms that
channel experiences and emotions, resulting in recognizable and
typical patterns of behavior with certain probable outcomes.
Thus, in fictional narratives, it is assumed characters with strong
archetypal features will automatically and unconsciously
resonate with a large audience.
The Burke/Lonvig Model
…Art
To Asbjorn Lonvig the Colorful Simplicity is - besides a way of communicating - a
lifestyle.
His artist statement thus is: Colorful Simplicity in Art as in Life.
An aspiration close to what the Danish writer, poet, philosopher etc. N. F. S. Grundtvig
(1783-1872)*, expressed in: “A plain and cheerful, active life on earth”.
By inspiring the seminar participants in this way their minds probably will ready for
entering and working into the yellow quadrant of the Whole Brain Model (The Yellow Q).
Through INSPIRATION the seminar participants are readied to enter into the Yellow Q.

3. Information Technology (IT)
This overview slide show and the inspirational Case Studies slide shows are
available to the seminar participants on the Burke/Lonvig Model Internet Pages.
During the seminar the participants need not take any notes and what is at least
equally important is that they can use the inspirational Case Studies “at home”
after the seminar to inspire themselves to enter and work in the yellow quadrant
of the Whole Brain Model (The yellow Q).
The Burke/Lonvig Model absolute force is that it is a continuing process that is
meant for support to the seminar participants before, during (all seminar
materials are online) and especially after the seminar when the theories are to
be implemented in real life.
The Burke/Lonvig model’s, that it will not stop when the seminar stops.
The Burke/Lonvig model will be developed continuously.
The Burke/Lonvig model’s web site has an online news page, with news about
the model itself and most importantly about new Case Studies that will be
added frequently.

NOTES
*) N. F. S. Grundtvig.
Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783 - 1872), most often referred to as simply N.
F. S. Grundtvig, was a Danish teacher, writer, poet, philosopher, historian, pastor, and
politician. He was one of the most influential people in Danish history, as his
philosophy gave rise to a new form of nationalism in the last half of the 19th century.
Grundtvig and his followers are credited with being very influential in the formulation of
modern Danish national consciousness. It was steeped in the national literature and
supported by deep spirituality.
Grundtvig holds a unique position in the cultural history of Denmark, he has been
styled the Danish Thomas Carlyle, the Scottish satirical writer, essayist, historian and
teacher whose work was highly influential during the Victorian era. Grundtvig might
also be compared to Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American essayist, philosopher, poet,
and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early 19th century. Emerson's
teachings directly influenced the growing New Thought movement of the mid 1800s.
The Burke/Lonvig Model
The term "whole brain" was introduced
by Ned Herrmann, developer of the
Herrmann Brain Dominance
Instrument (HBDI).
To be whole brained means to
incorporate both the
analytical/sequential thinking of the left
brain
and the kinesthetic/holistic thinking of
the right brain.
Whole brain activities are both
intellectual and emotional, cognitive as
well as experiential.
Things we do well are often
naturally whole brained.
The Burke/Lonvig Model
The HBDI is based on an
understanding of the four-quadrant
nature of the human brain.
The brain is comprised of left and
right hemispheres, but there are also
two parts of our thinking brain:
The limbic and the cerebral.
Each quadrant of the brain is
responsible for highly specialized
functions.
Ned Herrmann's Whole Brain model is
a metaphor that demonstrated the
preferred modes of each quadrant.
The Burke/Lonvig Model
Cerebral Brain – Cerebral Mode
The cerebral brain is a younger brain in evolutionary terms and is known as the
seat of thought. The powerful cerebral brain is what distinguishes humans from
animals. The cerebral brain directs strategic thinking and long-term planning. It
adds nuance to and mitigates the emotional response of the limbic brain.
Limbic Brain - Limbic Mode
The limbic brain is a more primitive brain and is known as the seat of
emotion.
It wraps around the brain stem like a bagel and directs the autonomic
nervous system, fight or flight responses, learning and memory.

The Burke/Lonvig Model
In order be able to enter and get to work in Q
you must REALIZE important ground objectives,
which as a whole presents
Q Realization
REALIZE
Realize that the reason, why you might seldom have
been working in Q is that we in Western Cultures in
early childhood are taught that Q behavior is not
always appropriate.
Look carefully at the keywords describing Q behavior
and you will for sure recall several incidents in your
childhood where you were warned that Q behavior
was inappropriate.
You will for sure recall several incidents in your
childhood where you yourself was not satisfied with
your Visual Art creations – for example a drawing. You
even might have experienced that a classmate
agreed, which of course was devastating.

Read the story about
Lucca’s lazy eye.
The Q of your brain has
become lazy – it has not
been used or it has not
been used very often.
Use it and your capacity
to work in Q will raise
dramatically...
Lucca’s lazy eye
Lucca, a Danish girl of 5 attended the doctor
who was an eye specialist.
Lucca’s left eye was a lazy eye, it is an eye for
which the brain has not developed the full
capacity of seeing.
The doctor measured the lazy eye’s ability to
see to 20 %.
Lucca’s medication was simple.
The doctor prescribed a PATCH…. to the
SOUND eye!
After some time the doctor measured the lazy
eye’s ability to see to 90 %.

You fundamentally have equally the same
MENTAL skills for working in yellow Q as had
Rembrandt and Einstein.
You probably just did not know?
The Burke/Lonvig Model
REALIZE
When you decide to work in Q you must realize
what you leave.
You leave Quadrant A and B.
You leave your Rational Self.
You leave your Self Keeping Self.
A. Rational Self
Analyzes

Is logical
Is critical
Is realistic

Takes preventive action
Establishes procedures
Gets things done
Is reliable

REALIZE
That working in Q drains your mental
energy disproportionately.
Monitor yourself.
Take brakes.
Continuing too long in Q is not
recommendable.
Be aware of the least sign that the quality
of our work declines and the least feeling
that your work is not flowing
appropriately.
The Burke/Lonvig Model
Q Euphoria:
A job has been finished. Based on the
research, the results of the work, and
the fact that you have worked
yourself into Q you have achieved a
surplus of mental energy and you are
in the Q Euphoria.
The Q Euphoria is on one hand a
very productive state.
On the other hand it is dangerous
because your awareness of
monitoring yourself declines.
You might be tempted work without
observing Q’s disproportional drain of
mental energy.
WARNING:
Long term deficit of mental energy might lead
to abuse and/or mental illness, which are - as
you might know - the most deadly decease in
Western Cultures.
The Burke/Lonvig Model
REALIZE
Working in Q needs your full attention.
You must assure you are in a balanced mental state.
You must avoid unnecessary disturbances.
The Burke/Lonvig Model
REALIZE
Working in Q is dangerous.
By working in Q and focusing on Q you
have left A. B. and C, you have left your
rationality/logic (A), your self control (B),
and your empathy (C).
Realize the dangers of the key issues of
Q behavior (Infers (deduce, deduct,
derive), imagines, speculates, takes
risks, is impetuous (impulsive,
hotheaded), brakes rules, likes surprises,
is curious / plays).
Realize the dangers of Q Euphoria (Long
term deficit of mental energy might lead
to abuse and/or mental illness, which are
- as you might know - the most deadly
deceases in Western Cultures).
Realize the dangers of Hubris and
Nemesis when you achieve success by
working in Q
Remember that working in Q is
dangerous by recalling the common
terms “yellow peril” “yellow terror” and
“yellow danger”.
Now?????
You might think it is too
hazardous to enter and get to
work in Q.
No, not at all!
However, there is one single
universal precaution you
MUST take: Take brakes.
And the Q Dog will guide you
safely through working in the
Q.
The Q Dog
“Take brakes”
When you work in Q no evaluation of quality of your product can take place.
You have to wait till you return to A. B. and C,
you have to regain rationality/logic (A), your self control (B), and your empathy (C).
When you enter A, B and C after having worked in Q a valuable evaluation only can
take place if you consider Q as temporary insanity.
Don’t use any mental energy defending you work in Q.

The MAIN prerequisite for
getting to work in
Q
is
INSPIRATION
Anybody can get to work in Q.
What you need is to REALIZE the ground objectives in working in Q
What you need is INSPIRATION.
That’s why
