AgileBrain is a 3 minute high-speed image exercise

AgileBrain’s fast and fun, image-based assessment provides a quantitative and qualitative picture of your emotional needs and motivations, as well as the language and framework necessary to understand and communicate them.

The exercise opens with a guiding prompt

The AgileBrain exercise provides a priming sentence stem or prompt and asks the participant to complete the sentence by selecting images that match that feeling. AgileBrain exposes the images for very short periods – just enough time to respond emotionally, not rationally. The specific images that are selected and the speed of those selections are captured, allowing AgileBrain to measure the intensity of need the participant feels in each specific need area or cell.

Some example prompts are:

Wanting More of the Good and Less of the Bad

There are two stages of the exercise. The first focuses on the good feelings the participant wishes to feel more of, and the second focuses on the bad feelings the participants wants to feel less of.

AgileBrain can be taken multiple times…

AgileBrain is designed to measure your emotional state at a specific time in a specific context.

Speed is the key

The first thing people notice when taking AgileBrain is that it moves very fast. We know from neuroscience that the brain processes images in a specific way: The brain takes about 200 milliseconds to recognize an image. Then, the brain responds emotionally to the image. After about a second the brain begins to rationalize (“cognitively reprocess”) what it is seeing. By keeping responses within the emotion-only period, AgileBrain is able to measure authentic emotional reactions while filtering out cognitive biases and attempts to “game the system.” As they say, “go with your gut.”
