About
How skillful are you at inferring the emotions, intentions and needs of others through basic mentalizing? The BMI™ assessment provides insight into your current basic mentalizing competencies, such as: • Your self-awareness of your own susceptibility to adopting the affect (emotions, feelings, and moods) and behavior of others • Your ability to use shared affect and behavior to understand what is going on in the minds of others • Your ability to consciously utilize embodied sharing of affect and behavior to learn from others and to foster better connections • Your self-awareness of the verbal and nonverbal channels upon which you rely to gather social information • Your ability to understand the feelings and intentions of others through their nonverbal behavior • Your ability to apply your own nonverbal behavior to convey meaningful messages to others • Your self-awareness of sensations coming from within (interoceptive) or outside (exteroceptive) your body • Your ability to associate interoceptive and exteroceptive sensations with their respective causes • Your ability to detect interoceptive and exteroceptive sensations in others and to make accurate associations • Your awareness of the influence that interoceptive and exteroceptive sensations can have on your basic mentalizing efforts Our inventories are eclectic research instruments based on various theories, and supported by a wide body of scientific research. The insights derived from our assessment will assist you in designing a roadmap to bridge any gaps in your skill set, and pursuing the most suitable advice, training and/or counseling program offered by the Center for Applied Theory of Mind. This inventory will remain accessible for 7 days, after which you may need to re-enroll.
