Discover Your Executive Function Profile
Your assessment will reveal which archetype best describes your executive function pattern. Most people recognise themselves in one or two of these profiles:
The Dreamer
Strong on ideas and creativity, struggles with execution and follow-through. Great at seeing possibilities, challenged by boring details.
The Firefighter
Thrives in crisis and chaos, struggles with routine and prevention. Excellent under pressure, challenged by maintenance tasks.
The Perfectionist
Can focus intensely but paralysed by fear of getting it wrong. Produces quality work, challenged by starting and accepting "good enough".
The Juggler
Keeps many balls in the air until one drops—then they all do. Good at variety, challenged by sustaining over time.
The Sprinter
Intense bursts of productivity followed by crashes. Excellent at deadline pressure, challenged by pacing and consistency.
Archetypes are simplified summaries to aid understanding. Your full profile will reveal the specific domains driving your pattern.
What is Executive Function?
Executive functions are the cognitive processes that help you manage yourself and your resources to achieve goals. They include planning, working memory, attention, problem-solving, mental flexibility, and self-monitoring. Difficulties in these areas can affect work, education, and daily life.
ELIC-Q measures how much cognitive "load" different executive demands place on you, and how much "cost" you experience when initiating tasks. This is different from measuring ability—it focuses on the effort and energy required.
6 Core Domains Measured
The cost of getting started on tasks, even when you know what to do
Mental capacity for holding and manipulating information
Flexibility in switching between tasks or mental sets
Stopping automatic responses, filtering distractions
Time awareness, estimation, and management
Sustaining effort and finishing what you start
6 Extended Domains (Optional)
Based on your core results, you may be offered additional questions covering:
What You'll Receive
- •Visual Profile: Radar chart showing your load across all measured domains
- •Variability Index: How consistent your capacity is day-to-day
- •Pattern Flags: Clinically relevant patterns detected in your profile
- •Downloadable Reports: PDF summaries for workplace, education, or self-advocacy
- •Practical Adjustments: Environment-first strategies tailored to your profile
This assessment describes executive load patterns, not diagnosis. Results are for support planning and self-understanding. For clinical evaluation, consult a qualified professional.
