About

Bodin was born from an exploration of Carl Jung’s cognitive functions, which were first introduced in the early 20th century. What began as curiosity quickly evolved into a profound realization: these functions weren’t just abstract theories but a blueprint for understanding human experience. Those behind Bodin deconstructed their own lives—examining their strengths, struggles, and the friction they encountered—only to find that these patterns aligned perfectly with the cognitive functions Jung had described. This discovery led to three years of intense study, culminating in the creation of a new system designed to refine and expand upon these foundational insights.

Bodin reimagines personality theory by stripping away unnecessary complexity while preserving depth. Many traditional models, like MBTI, rely on rigid dichotomies that force individuals into categories based on minor statistical differences. A person who scores 51% in Thinking and 49% in Feeling is categorized as a Thinker, despite being nearly balanced. Such oversimplifications fail to capture the fluid nature of cognition. Bodin introduces middle-ground functions—Measured, Pragmatic, and Dynamic—to accommodate those who do not fit neatly into extremes. This allows for greater nuance, ensuring that individuals are neither mislabeled nor forced into categories that fail to reflect their cognitive tendencies.

Unlike conventional systems that place heavy emphasis on Introversion and Extraversion, Bodin rejects these as primary determinants of personality. The way people interact with the world is not a fixed trait but a response to their environment, shaped by their perception, judgment, and structural preferences. In the right setting, even those who prefer solitude can become socially engaged. Energy levels are not dictated by binary social orientations but by how well an environment aligns with one’s cognitive style. This understanding emerged from real-world experience—living in different cultures, observing how context influences personality, and recognizing that the way people express themselves shifts depending on their surroundings.

Bodin’s system consists of 27 distinct personality types, each accounting for subtle gradients rather than imposing rigid categories. It does not rely on gimmicks like celebrity comparisons or career suggestions. Instead, it provides an authentic representation of cognitive tendencies, allowing individuals to understand themselves without unnecessary noise. But this is just the beginning.

The future of Bodin lies in expanding its principles beyond individual personality analysis. We are currently developing Cognography, a revolutionary approach to understanding cognition as a fundamental force that shapes reality. Cognography challenges outdated ways of categorizing human beings—no longer defined by nationality, gender, socioeconomic status, or external labels, but by the core of how they think. As society becomes increasingly fragmented by misinformation and artificial social constructs, the need for a framework that prioritizes cognitive essence over arbitrary divisions has never been greater.

In a world where conventional systems are breaking down, Cognography proposes a new way of navigating reality—one where human nature is understood not through speculation or vague psychological assessments, but through an objective understanding of cognitive processes. Much like a computer program, the human mind operates on a system of structured functions. When those functions experience friction, issues like anxiety or depression arise, much like a program running incompatible code. The solution is not arbitrary intervention but debugging—understanding the fundamental architecture of one’s cognition and optimizing it for the world they inhabit.

Bodin is not just a personality test. It is the foundation of a new psychological framework—one that removes the artificial constraints imposed by outdated systems and reveals the true mechanics of human cognition.
