Hi – I’m new to the site. Is there an area that defines categories? Specifically, I’m looking at the daily journal/rate yourself section. What exactly is “executive control” and the other areas? Some are obvious, but others a bit more ambiguous. In order to assess properly, I need to understand that’s being rated. And yes, I’m a brain type 5. 🙂

Thanks for the question! I’m happy to try to explain those more here.

Executive control includes the following: attention span, forethought, impulse control, organization, motivation, and planning.

The other category that may need defining is Flexible Thinking. Flexible thinking is the ability, or lack thereof, to adapt to new ideas or situations. Dr. Amen describes it as a person’s ability to go with the flow, adapt to change, and deal successfully with new problems.

Let me know if you would like me to help define any of the others. Best! -Coach Zoe
