If you're like me, you've tried taking study advice from other successful students. Luckily, my big bro went through medical school a few years before I did, so I got the juicy secrets: don't take notes, study two hours a day, don't wake up early. But when I tried these tips, my grades got popped. Everything I knew about studying was wrong. I was trying to be someone I'm not. But we're all built different; our brains are built different. Once I understood this, my entire perspective about learning changed, and I'm going to show you how it can do the same for you with the simple two-minute brain type quiz.
Our Story
I run a Academy with my brother. We're both medical doctors, and what we found from tutoring students and teaching courses is that everyone's experience with learning is different. I couldn't study the same way my brother did to get the same good grades I tried. The problem is I struggled for a long time before I figured that out, but you don't have to.
Our Research
We started looking into it. We researched neuroscience, psychology, Eastern medicine, and learned as much as we could. And it all led us to create the Match Day Trials, also known as the Brain Type Test. It combines science with self-experimentation to help every type of student figure out what kind of learner they are and design a study system that actually works for them.
Science Break
But before we get into the assessment, here's a quick science break. Trust me, this is important so you understand how all this stuff works. According to preliminary science, there are three brain types that vary on a spectrum of sensitivity: sensitive like the wind, responsive like fire, or resistant like water. For example, a responsive brain has a short temper, whereas a resistant brain rarely gets angry. We can trace these differences to specific regions in the brain, but their effects are seen all over the body. Some people have a harder time sleeping, some people have drier skin, some people poop more than five times a day. But what's really important to us students are the cognitive aspects: things like critical thinking, motivation, focus, and stress management. Some people learn faster than others, some people are more prone to distractions, some people are not as motivated and need an extra push. Identifying our brain type will reveal to us what our tendencies are so that we can customize our own study habits.
The Brain Type Test
So now i am going to take you through the test to determine your brain type. All right, so the brain has three different types of energy, and with your help, we've named them Torah, Kuma, and Kitsune. We're going to use Neural Lock to run you through the Match Day Trials and determine your brain type. So pull out a pen and paper, don't overthink it, and just answer as honestly as possible. Good luck, ladies, let the trials begin.

A - Frustration or irritability.
B - Worry or anxiety.
C - Hopeless or loss of motivation.
Results
All right, let's see how you did. And remember, there are no right or wrong answers. If you marked the most A's, you matched into Torah Club; the most B's, you matched Kitsune Club; and C's, you matched Kuma Club.
Understanding Your Results
So the most common question we get is what do I do if I relate to two clubs or all three clubs? And the answer is that everyone has a unique blend of all three energies, but typically one form of energy is primary and the others are secondary. So if you have a tie between two clubs, go with your intuition. No club is superior to the others. We're all built different, but ultimately the journey of learning and self-discovery is a shared experience. So take pride in your club and comment below and say hi to your fellow club mates. Obviously, you're going to want to learn more about what the hell your brain type even means, so subscribe for the next post on specific clubhouse.
