The Benziger Thinking Styles Assessment (BTSA)

Brain

What is the Benziger Thinking Styles Assessment (BTSA)?

The BTSA is a scientifically grounded, breakthrough application of Dr. Carl Jung’s work in Typology. This assessment identifies how your brain prefers to process information.

Key BTSA Concepts: 

  • Thinking Style – Thinking is the flow of electricity through our brain from one neuron to another through a bath of neuro-chemicals. Every individual functions in a unique way (thinking style) that results from three interdependent factors: preference, competencies and whether or not they are falsifying type.
  • Preference – A preference is a specialized set of abilities (gifts) which occur naturally as a result of the distribution of neuro-chemicals in the brain. The flow of electrical current we call “thinking” is easy, almost effortless. People report they are absorbed by what they are doing and find concentration is natural and effortless. Preference is stable throughout our lives. It exists and persists whether we use it or not.
  • Competencies – Competencies, by contrast, are created and strengthened by usage or practice. In some ways, competencies are more flexible than our preference. At one time in our life we may develop competencies in one area. At another time, in response to different opportunities or needs, we may develop a completely different set of competencies in a very different area.  Preferred competencies, those we develop in our preference, are highly dependable and energy efficient, even energizing. Non-preferred competencies, those developed outside our preference, are less dependable and less energy efficient.
  • Falsification – Falsification of Type is a term that identifies people who spend most of their time using competencies not managed by their preference.  The costs of falsifying type over time include chronic fatigue, irritability, depression, and diminished productivity, as well as confusion, misunderstanding and conflict.
