FICS™ - Fundamental Integrated Cognitive Style


OVERVIEW

FICS is a scientifically based assessment that uses the latest advances in neuroscience.

The assessment measures an individual's preferences for processing information, known as cognitive style. Cognitive style forms as a result of the interaction of intelligence, personality, and environment. It uniquely predicts an individual's behavior and thinking patterns and is a more reliable predictor than personality or intelligence alone.
