All day, every day, you are using 2 Human Reasoning Systems that work together to decide what you are going to do, say or be – a collective that determines who you are in this world at any given moment that together equal Experiential Intelligence.
The Cognitive Reasoning System™

The Autonomic Reasoning System™

Experiential Intelligence
COGNITIVE REASONING SYSTEM™
- Includes 4 types of Thinking: Intuitive, Rational, Intellectual and Emotional
- It happens at a conscious level – you activate it, you can direct it – it is deliberate – you are fully aware of it
- It has a mentally understandable influence on your decision-making
- As you move through your life, you are constantly ‘upgrading’ cognitive reasoning through education, experience, interactions and media’s influence
AUTONOMIC REASONING SYSTEM™
- Includes 4 types of Thinking: Reactive \ Responsive, Habits / Rituals, Memory Recall and Inherited Scripting
- It happens automatically -– it is not intentional – you are not even aware of it
- It has a ‘hidden’ influence on your decision-making
- It is not learned – you’ve been using it since you were born – the goal is to become more consciously aware of its existence
We didn’t invent this reasoning system –
we just gave it an identity, structure, and name.
EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE USES THESE 4 HUMAN JUDGEMENT PROCESSES THAT ENGAGE BOTH COGNITIVE AND AUTONOMIC REASONING:
- CHOOSE RANK REASONS RECORD™ (CR3’s™)
- VALUES BELEIFS CONVICTIONS® (VBC’s®)
- Awareness Interpretive Modes™ (4AIMS™)
- 2-Way Autonomic/ 4-Way Cognitive Perspective Shifting™
CHOOSE-RANK-REASONS-RECORD™ (CR3™) Comparative Judgement Process
Humans use a CHOOSE-RANK-REASON-RECORD™ process every moment of every day – mostly as an automatic ‘this-or-that’ process.
You make a choice (CHOOSE)
Compare and rank it against your previous choices (RANK)
Use your previous experiences to recall why you made the choice and its priority – and if it is cognitively important to remember (REASONS)
The thinking process path to outcome is recorded in your memory for recall the next time you face a similar situation (RECORD).
VALUES BELIEFS CONVICTIONS® (VBC’s®) – A Process for Judging Meaning and Priority
You are born with an ancestral set of VBC’s® – they are in your genetics – your social scripting either reinforces or evolves them. You alter or add to them throughout a lifetime of personal experiences and learning. Ancestral VBC’s® are for all practical discussion ‘invisible’ to you – they are directing your choices and prioritizing your actions – before conscious awareness kicks in. All VBC’s® can be grouped into 7 Broadbands of Identity™.
Judgements of meaningfulness arise from your 7 Broadbands. How you make every decision – is first an almost instinctive assessment of ‘Does this mean anything to me?’.
The process is largely automatic on a day-to-day basis, but when it comes to life transforming decisions that require more introspection, connecting to and becoming aware of these ‘hidden’ VBC’s® influence on your Autonomic and Cognitive Reasoning can be very beneficial with helping you make the best choices.\
The 4 AWARENESS INTERPRETIVE MODES™ (4AIMs™) – Process for Converting Perceived Patterns to Judgeable, Actionable Language
Recognizing it is as necessary to your life’s survival as breathing, the 4AIMS™ of your awareness enable your Experiential Intelligence to identify and translate patterns into daily life meaning. They engage both the “I” (Autonomic) and “IT” (Cognitive) reasoning processes.
2-Way Autonomic and 4-Way Cognitive PERSPECTIVE SHIFTING™ Process
The above examples are 2-way autonomic shifting models – you automatically shift from seeing both ends of the series of rings (far left) as the near or far end of a tube. Like breathing in-then-out – this 2-way shifting will eventually ‘flip’ without conscious effort on your part.
The 2-D view of a Regular Tetrahedron – RTH (to the right) also provides a 2-Way autonomic perspective shifting experience – through apex down / through bottom towards apex.
Cognitive reasoning is enabled when a 3-D RTH is placed in a gravitational alignment on the page so all of 1 side is facing you. By rotating from side 1 to side 2 and on – transitions the RTH into a 4-way perspective shifting process and is the core model used in our Thinking Tool inventions – the SWPS™ and LMPG™
RTH 4-way shifting models is a cognitive, intentional, and a more complete topic encapsulating process that will become a very valuable insight-evolving habit when practiced regularly.
By combining 2 RTH 4-Way Models, you can expand thinking to include 8 perspectives of a topic. This 8-Way ( 2 combined 4-Way RTHs) can advance more complex cognitive reasoning outcomes and greatly enhance Experiential Intelligence focused judgements.
CONCLUSION
These 4 Human Judgement Processes™ which engage both our Autonomic and Cognitive Reasoning –
- CHOOSE-RANK-REASONS-RECORD™ comparative process,
- VALUES BELEIFS CONVICTIONS™,
- 4 AIMS Interpretive Modes™
- 2-Way Autonomic and 4-Way Cognitive Perspective Shifting
– are the collective functional realty your Experiential Intelligence uses that determines how you behave, react, interact, and function in your day-to-day life.
