1. MIXED PROFILE
M Theory assumes that every human being uses three cognitive areas: Logic, Feeling, and Belief, and that no human functions exclusively through one area.
Individual differences result from a different share, intensity, and mutual interaction of these three areas. As a result, every human being has a unique, mixed cognitive profile.
2. DOMINANT PROFILE
M Theory assumes that in a mixed cognitive profile one of the three areas is dominant over the others.
The dominant profile is the area through which a person most naturally perceives and interprets reality, processes information, and takes action. It is where they feel most natural, free, and at peace with themselves.
Dominance does not mean exclusivity – the other areas still participate in cognitive processes, but the dominant profile is the natural point of reference for that person.
3. PROFILE VARIABILITY
M Theory assumes that the cognitive profile is not a fixed "personality type". Its configuration can change under the influence of experiences, environment, and life circumstances, while maintaining the natural dominant profile.
Individual cognitive areas can be unlocked, developed, and strengthened, increasing the possibility of their conscious use. This process can lead to achieving individual cognitive balance.
4. BALANCE
M Theory assumes that cognitive balance does not mean an equal level of Logic, Feeling, and Belief, but their functioning and integration within a range optimal for a specific person.
Awareness of one's own profile allows recognizing dominant areas, areas in balance, areas in blockage, or beyond conscious control.
When all three areas function within an individually optimal range, they can jointly support decision-making that takes into account reason, emotions, and a sense of meaning.
5. COGNITIVE ADAPTATION
M Theory assumes that a person can learn to function in a way that differs from their natural cognitive profile under the influence of environment, social norms, and the expectations of others.
Long-term masking or suppressing the natural way of knowing can lead to a discrepancy between the natural profile and the daily way of functioning.
Awareness of one's own profile can allow recognizing this discrepancy and beginning the process of consciously understanding one's own cognitive processes.
6. NEUROSTIGMATIZATION
M Theory introduces the concept of neurostigmatization as a phenomenon in which differences in human cognitive functioning are reduced to labels and evaluated primarily through the prism of deficits, difficulties, or deviation from the accepted norm.
The hypothesis assumes that such simplification may limit understanding of the full cognitive profile of a human being, including their potential, strengths, and unique ways of processing.
