How to Use this Report
• Each activity you did shows how you naturally
think. We made a graph to show your results.
• Each thinking skill has two extremes, and your
result falls somewhere in between. The closer
you are to one extreme, the more your brain
likes that way of doing things.
• Remember, there is no “good” or “bad” result.
• Look at the part of the graph where your result
is marked for each thinking skill. Read the
suggestions for people with that tendency.
• If your score is in the middle, it means you don’t
have a strong tendency one way or the other.
Your preferences are balanced, which is good
because you can adapt to different situations.
Try recommendations for both extremes to see
what works best for you.
• Remember, this is just one point in time. Your
performance can change due to things like
feeling tired or stressed. So, think of these
results as an estimate of your tendencies, not
set in stone.

Key Takeaways
Focus
This skill is about being able to concentrate on something without getting distracted. For instance, when you
read a book and want to understand it, focus helps you pay attention to the words on the page without being
bothered by noises or other things happening around you. Focus style is related to memory, which makes
sense if you think about it because we can only remember things if we were able to focus to understand the
information when we encountered it.
Laser: You’re good at concentrating heavily on one thing at a time. You’re also good at paying
attention to small details. You can use this skill to improve your studying and do better in sports. Here
are some tips to help you make the most of your ability to focus:
Study Tips:
Performance Tips:
• Taking Notes: When you’re learning, take notes
by writing down the most important details. You
don’t need to write down everything. Just focus
on the main ideas that capture the message.
• Rehearsing: Before sporting events, review
important plays or knowledge about weaknesses
in the opposing team. This will help you
remember the information quickly during the
game.
• Setting Clear Goals: Before you start studying,
think about what you want to achieve. Break your
goals into smaller tasks that are easier to manage.
Focus on completing one task at a time. This way,
you can stay focused and feel a sense of progress
as you finish each task.
• Managing Your Time: Divide your study time into
smaller chunks, like 25 or 50 minutes. Take short
breaks in between to avoid getting tired. This
helps you stay fresh and avoid burnout.
• Trying Different Methods: To make studying
more interesting, use different materials
and techniques. Use pictures, listen to audio
resources, watch videos, or try interactive tools
when they’re available. Experiment with different
ways of studying to find what works best for you
and keeps you focused.
• Focusing on Technique: Use your ability to
concentrate on details to improve your athletic
technique. Pay close attention to the correct
form, body positioning, and movements required
for your sport. By focusing on these technical
aspects and making adjustments, you can get
better at your sport overall.
• Visualizing Success: Use your Laser focus to
imagine yourself performing well in your sport.
Create clear pictures in your mind of yourself
doing skills perfectly, achieving your goals, and
overcoming challenges. This can make you feel
more confident and ready to perform your best.
• Block out Distractions: In sports, there are often
things that can distract you. Use your Laser
focus to block out distractions like noise from
the crowd, opponents, or other things that might
take your attention away. Train yourself to stay
focused on what you’re doing, like following the
ball, predicting your opponent’s moves, or doing a
specific technique.

Key Takeaways
Focus
Divided: Your brain tends to shift focus back and forth to
different things. You might do well in situations that require
complex thinking. Here are some tips for studying and
performing when you have a tendency for divided focus:
Study Tips:
• Use Backup Systems: Sometimes our brains
focus on some things and miss others. To help
remember important information, you can record
lectures or important conversations. Later, you
can listen to them again and take notes on the
important parts. You can use a program like
https://otter.ai/ to transcribe the audio and read
it later. This way, you won’t forget any important
details.
• Take Control of the Shifting Focus: When you’re
doing difficult tasks, try to avoid doing too many
things at once. Turn off or silence notifications
on your electronic devices and keep them out of
sight if you can. Let people around you know that
you’re studying and ask them not to disturb you.
When you’re doing easy tasks, you can listen to
calm music without words. This helps your brain
shift focus in a way that won’t distract you from
your goals.
• Manage Your Time: Use a timer set at regular
intervals, like 15 or 20 minutes. When the timer
goes off, check if you’re still focused on what you
wanted to do. If you are, that’s great! Reset the
timer and keep working. If you’re not, use the
timer as a reminder to get back on track and focus
on your task.
▪
Break Tasks into Smaller Parts: Big tasks can be
overwhelming and cause distractions. To make
them easier, break them into smaller parts. Pick
two or three parts of the task you need to work
on and allow yourself to shift between working
on those parts. When you feel bored, shift to a
different part. This will keep your brain focused
on your goal while still allowing it to shift around.
Performance Tips:
• Quiz Yourself: When you’re getting ready for a
game or a quiz, test yourself on important plays
and what you know about the other team. Do this
several times over several days before the game.
Taking breaks while reviewing the information
can also help you remember it better to combat
distractions during the game.
• Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Pay attention
to different things happening around you during
a game or on the court. Notice how opponents,
teammates, and the ball move. This can help you
make quicker and smarter decisions during the
game.
• Practice Multitasking: Do exercises that require
you to do more than one thing at a time. For
example, practice dribbling while focusing on
a target or passing while being aware of your
surroundings. This helps you leverage your
tendency to do different tasks at once, which is
important in games.
• Use Your Side Vision: Being able to see things
from the corner of your eyes is helpful in sports.
Practice widening your focus and taking in
information from the sides while keeping your
attention on the main target. This skill is useful in
sports like hockey, lacrosse, or rugby, where you
need to be aware of many things happening at
once.

Key Takeaways
Impulse Control
This activity tested how well your brain filters responses. It measured how patient and adaptable your brain is.
It’s like having a brake system inside your mind that lets you pause and think before you do something. When
we come across a situation where we need to control ourselves, impulse control helps us say no to temptations,
ignore distractions, or stop ourselves from doing things automatically or out of habit. It’s like a mental muscle
that helps us make good choices even when we want to do something we shouldn’t. For example, imagine
you’re trying to eat healthy and someone offers you a yummy piece of cake. Impulse control helps you say no
to the cake right away and pick a healthier option instead. In daily life, impulse control helps us make smart
decisions and behave in ways that match our goals and values. It’s really important for regulating our actions and
can help us focus, stay on track, and make sensible choices.
SUPER SIX COMPLETE
Key Takeaways
Impulse Control
Specialized: Imagine your brain is like a big funnel. If you performed in the “Specialized” area, then the
bottom of your funnel is narrow. That means your brain can think about a lot of different responses before
picking the right one. You’re good at adjusting your response to fit what other people need from you. Even
if something feels strange or different, you can learn how to change how you react to match the situation.
Here are some study and performance tips that are made just for people like you who are great at this kind
of thing.
Study Tips:
Performance Tips:
• Read It All First: Before you start a task or test,
make sure to read all the instructions. While
some people might jump right in, you’re good at
working towards the right goal. If you only read
part of the instructions, you might end up working
on the wrong thing.
• Trust your Instincts: You’re good at thinking
flexibly in the moment. During a game, rely on
your instincts to gather information and figure out
the best thing to do.
• Pre-Set Goals: Before you begin, take some
time to understand your goal. Your brain is great
at avoiding interruptions and temptations that
can steer you away from your goal. By feeling
confident about what you want to achieve, you’ll
save time later.
• Practice Self-Control Exercises: You are already
great at self-control, so why not maximize that
ability? Try doing activities that help you control
yourself and stop impulsive reactions. You can try
things like meditation, mindfulness, or cognitive
control games. These exercises can make it even
easier for you to resist immediate urges and stay
focused.
• Use the “Two-Minute Rule”: If you find yourself
getting distracted or putting off studying,
challenge yourself to work on the task for just
two minutes. Often, once you start, it becomes
easier to keep going and continue studying.
• Stay Focused and Concentrated: When
you’re training or competing, it’s important to
stay focused on what you’re doing. Use your
specialized ability to control impulses to ignore
distractions like noise from the crowd, what your
opponents are doing, or negative thoughts. Train
yourself to be fully present in the moment and
concentrate on using your skills or strategies.
• Control Impulsive Reactions: In fast-paced sports,
acting impulsively can hurt your performance.
Practice pausing and thinking before you act.
Instead of quickly reacting to a situation, use your
specialized impulse control to think about the
best thing to do and make careful decisions.
• Deal with Performance Anxiety: Your specialized
impulse control can help you when you feel
anxious about performing. It allows you to shift
your focus away from negative thoughts or selfdoubt. Practice changing negative thoughts into
positive ones, using relaxation techniques, and
controlling your reactions so you can stay focused
on the task instead of getting overwhelmed by
anxiety. In sports, strong emotions like anger,
frustration, or anxiety can affect how well you
perform. Use your specialized impulse control to
manage those emotions. Take a moment to pause,
recognize your feelings, and choose how
to respond in a positive and calm way.

Spatial Awareness
This activity measured how well you understand and perceive the space around you and your position in it.
It means being aware of where things, people, and yourself are in relation to each other. It’s like having a mental
map of the world and knowing where everything is on that map. Spatial awareness helps us move around,
interact with objects, and use our bodies effectively. It involves different ways our brain works, like knowing
distances, recognizing shapes, and understanding how things fit together in space. In everyday life, spatial
awareness is important for many things, like playing sports, putting furniture together, reading maps, or
arranging objects on a table. It helps us understand our surroundings and interact with them in a smart way.
SUPER SIX COMPLETE
Key Takeaways
Spatial Awareness
Visualizer: You’re really good at picturing how objects fit into a space. It’s probably easy for you to pack a
car with different-shaped boxes and bags. You’re also likely great at imagining how a specific arrangement
will work out on a sports court or field. Here are some study and performance tips that take advantage of
your natural ability in this area.
Study Tips:
Performance Tips:
• Space Your Notes: When studying for a test, write
down important details on different parts of your
paper. While reviewing, pay attention not only
to the information but also to where it is on the
page. During the test, try to remember where the
details were on your study page. This can help you
remember the information better.
• Know Your Position: People who are good
at spatial awareness understand where they
are in relation to objects and other people. In
sports, this skill can be very helpful. You can
predict opponents’ movements, judge distances
accurately, and position yourself strategically on
the field or court. By using your spatial awareness,
you can react quickly and make good decisions..
• Visualize Information: If you’re a visualizer, create
mental pictures, diagrams, or concept maps that
show how different ideas are connected. These
visuals can help you understand and remember
the information better.
• Use Memory Tricks: Memory tricks, called
mnemonic devices, can help you remember
information. As a visualizer, you can create
mnemonic devices that use spatial relationships.
For example, you can associate information with
specific places in a familiar setting or imagine
walking through a series of concepts or steps.
• Use Visual Learning Tools: Visual learning
activities are great for people who are good at
spatial awareness. You can watch educational
videos, use resources with pictures and diagrams,
or find illustrations that explain complex ideas.
Visual stimuli can help you understand and
remember information more easily.
• Visualize Plays and Strategies: Your spatial
awareness allows you to imagine plays, strategies,
and movements before you actually do them. You
can picture where your teammates, opponents,
and the field or court are. This visualization helps
you plan and execute your actions better because
you understand the space and how to move in it.
• Improve Coordination and Control: Spatial
awareness is connected to coordination and body
control. With your strong spatial awareness, you
have a good understanding of how your body
moves in space. You can adjust your movements,
balance yourself, and position your body precisely.
This leads to better coordination, agility, and
overall physical performance.
• Use Video Analysis and Visualization: You can
benefit from watching videos of your performance
and using visualization techniques. By reviewing
recorded footage of yourself, you can see how
you move in relation to the space around you.
This helps you identify areas to improve, refine
your techniques, and enhance your spatial
awareness in specific situations.

describe them out loud. This helps your brain
use both spatial awareness and other parts to
understand the information better.
• Do It Yourself: When learning formations and
plays, describe them to yourself using words. If
someone is drawing something, try copying it
to help you visualize it. Having a small dry erase
board can be useful for this. If possible, practice
using the formations in real-life situations so you
can physically feel them instead of just seeing
them on paper.
• Use Auditory and Verbal Resources: Since you’re
good at listening and understanding spoken
words, find learning resources that explain things
through speech or writing. You can listen to
lectures, join group discussions, or use textbooks
and study guides that have clear explanations.
• Break Information Into Smaller Parts: Complex
or spatial information can be hard for you as
a Conceptualizer. Make it easier by breaking
it down into smaller pieces. Create outlines or
summaries that focus on the main points and
organize the information in a step-by-step way.
• Use Hands-On Learning: Using more than one
sense can help you learn better. Try using handson materials, making physical models or diagrams,
or doing activities that involve movement. This
will reinforce your understanding of spatial
concepts.
• Be Aware of the Situation: Use your
understanding of game strategies, patterns, and
how opponents play to your advantage. Study
game footage, analyze plays, and observe how
other players move on the field or court. By
understanding the big picture of the game, you
can make smart decisions and respond without
relying solely on spatial cues.
• Communicate and Work as a Team: By
communicating well with your teammates, you
can share information about the spatial aspects
of the game. Clear communication helps you
position yourself better and coordinate with
others.

Processing
Information processing is how our brains handle and understand the things we see, hear, feel, and experience. It’s
like how a computer processes data. When we come across something new, our senses send this information to
our brains. Our brains then process and transform it into something meaningful. Some people prefer processing
information verbally, while others prefer processing it visually. Knowing our preference can improve how
we communicate and learn. Talking to teachers, coaches, and teammates about our information processing
style can help them communicate with us effectively. Below are communication tips, study tips, and athletic
performance tips based on your information processing style. If you have a balanced processing style, there’s a
special section for you at the end.

Study Habits and Athletic Performance Tips:
• Visual Aids: Use pictures, charts, or drawings to
help communicate ideas. These visual aids make it
easier for you and your coach to understand each
other and explain things more clearly.
• Concept Mapping: Create visual diagrams or
mind maps to connect and organize information.
This can help you understand the relationships
between ideas and remember them better.
• Demonstrations: If possible, show how to do
something instead of just talking about it. Actions
and visual examples can be more helpful in
getting your point across.
• Flashcards and Visual Mnemonics: Make
flashcards with pictures or use online flashcards
with images. Connecting information to visual
cues can help you remember it. You can also
create mental pictures or associations to
remember important facts or sequences.
• Video Analysis: Ask for or record videos of your
training or competitions. Watching yourself can
help you understand what you did well and what
you need to work on. You can discuss specific
things with your coach based on what you see in
the videos.
• Written Communication: If you need important
or complicated information, ask for written
instructions or summaries. Reading the
information can help you understand it better.
• Watch Videos and Demonstrations: Look for
videos or demonstrations that relate to what
you’re studying or your athletic techniques.
Watching actions and movements can be
beneficial for your processing style. You can find
instructional videos, documentaries, or sports
analysis to gain new insights.
• Use Color Coding and Highlighting: Use
different colors to organize your study materials.
Assign specific colors to important concepts
or categories. This visual method can help you
organize information and make it easier to
understand and remember.

Study Habits and Athletic Performance Tips:
• Speak Up: Use your strength in verbal processing
by actively participating in discussions, team
meetings, or one-on-one conversations. Sharing
your thoughts, ideas, and concerns out loud can
help you express yourself, understand better, and
have meaningful conversations with teachers or
coaches.
• Use Memory Techniques: Create verbal tricks like
mnemonics, acronyms, or rhymes to remember
visual information. Coming up with catchy
phrases or patterns can help you remember and
make studying more fun.
• Take Written Notes: Even though you’re good at
verbal processing, writing things down can still be
helpful. Take notes during lectures, practices, or
strategy sessions. It will reinforce what you learn
and serve as a reference later on. You can also
write summaries to remember important points
better.
• Describe Visuals: Even if visuals are not your
strong suit, you can practice describing mental
images or visualizations. When coaches or
teachers show visual aids or diagrams, explain
what you see in your mind using words to
reinforce your understanding.
• Listen Carefully: Being an active listener is
important for effective communication. Pay
attention to what others are saying, maintain eye
contact, ask questions, and repeat or summarize
instructions or feedback to make sure you
understand.
• Verbalize Your Notes: Take detailed notes during
lectures, study sessions, or when reviewing
material. Write down key points, important
details, and explanations in your own words.
Speaking out loud as you review notes helps you
understand and remember better.
• Talk Through Game Plans: Before practices or
competitions, talk yourself through game plans,
strategies, or specific plays. Verbalizing the steps
and tactics reinforces the information in your
mind and prepares you mentally for the athletic
performance.
• Positive Self-Talk: During training sessions
or competitions, use positive self-talk. Speak
encouraging words or motivational phrases to
boost your confidence, stay focused, and control
your emotions. Reminding yourself of your
strengths, goals, and strategies can improve your
performance and resilience.

Study Habits and Athletic Performance Tips:
• Be Flexible: Your ability to process information
both visually and verbally allows you to adapt
your communication style. Switch between visual
aids and verbal explanations based on what works
best for the situation and the preferences of your
teachers or coaches.
• Use Both Visual and Verbal Techniques:
Incorporate visual aids like diagrams and
illustrations into your study materials. Engage in
verbal activities like reading aloud, summarizing
in your own words, and discussing concepts
with others. This helps with understanding and
remembering information.
• Use Multiple Modes: Take advantage of
using both visuals and words to enhance your
communication. Combine verbal explanations
with visual aids or gestures to support your
points. Describe your strategies or concerns
using words while using visual aids, diagrams, or
sketches to provide extra clarity.
• Give Comprehensive Feedback: When providing
feedback, utilize your balanced cognitive
strengths. Express your observations verbally and
use visual cues or examples to show your points
and provide specific and helpful feedback.
• Work Together and Discuss: Engage in open
communication with teachers and coaches.
Contribute to discussions, ask questions, and
exchange ideas using both visuals and words. This
collaborative approach promotes understanding
and allows for a thorough exploration of
strategies and goals.
• Try Different Note-Taking Strategies: Experiment
with combining visuals and words in your notes.
Use bullet points, headings, and colored highlights
to organize written notes. Add sketches or
diagrams to represent key ideas visually. This
helps you organize information effectively and
remember it better.
• Interactive Study Materials: Create study
materials that combine visuals and words.
Make flashcards with visual cues and written
explanations. Use educational apps or online
platforms that offer interactive learning
experiences with visuals, text, and audio.
• Preview Before Reading: Before starting new
material, visually preview the content by looking
at headings, subheadings, and graphics. This gives
you an overview and helps you mentally prepare
for the verbal learning experience..
