I know it. Everyone who has worked with me knows it.

That doesn't stop me.

The trend this week is to build a digital mirror of yourself in AI. Train it on your writing, your voice, your decisions. A proxy that thinks like you, so you can scale yourself.

There's value in that. But that's solving the wrong problem.

Flip the paradigm, and you have something far more powerful!

Most people prompt an LLM the way they already think. The question you ask reflects your cognitive style. You get back a smarter version of yourself—faster recall, better vocabulary, same blind spots.

The smarter move is to run the opposite. Use your gaps as the brief.

I asked Claude to extrapolate a cognitive profile from our working history. Not a cold prompt. Not a quiz. Months of frameworks built together, ideas challenged and revised, arguments pushed back on.

It ran HBDI and Kolb simultaneously (two independent frameworks, no coordination between them) mapped against the same conversation history. The scores converged. That convergence is the signal, not the result of either test alone.

It also added a fifth axis that neither model has a native home for, because the conversation demanded it.

The result is the visual above.

Creative and Intuitive dominant. Procedural low. Claude's word was "transcended, not absent." I'll take it.

The point isn't the scores. It's what you do with the gaps.

Take both tests, paste your results, ask your LLM to map them against each other and identify the gaps. Where they converge, you have signal.
