Sequence of cerebral resources
Maieutik Statistics (1999-2024): What the sequence of intelligences reveals.
Since 1999, Maieutik has observed, compiled and analyzed data from the cognitive profiles of thousands of people involved in a professional context.
At the heart of this analysis: the sequence of cerebral resources, meaning the way the brain activates - in a precise order - two or sometimes three types of intelligence to process information, decide and act.
These sequences are neither random nor fixed: they reveal a stable operating mode, specific to each individual, but influenced by the environment, the professional role and the level of responsibility.
Understanding this dynamic makes it possible to better support talents, mobilize their real resources, and adapt performance conditions.
The data that follow present the observed frequencies for each dominant sequence, as well as their evolution over time (1999-2024).
They form a strategic compass for HR, shedding light on natural trends in autonomy, initiative-taking, relationship to risk or pressure.

A fine and dynamic reading of cognitive potential.
These results show that certain cognitive circuits are much more frequent than others in organizations.
In particular, the Logical intelligence + Intuitive intelligence and Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence sequences, which reflect two radically different approaches to reality:
- One captures possibilities, acts through inner conviction, and structures its action from a vision.
- The other secures, validates, anticipates errors and acts cautiously, driven by an external framework.
For HR, this mapping makes it possible to:
- understand a collaborator's dominant operating mode;
- adapt the management style, motivation mechanisms and conditions for engagement;
- go beyond observable behaviors, in order to intervene at the very structural level of action.
Sequence of the foundations of leadership and interpersonal relationships
Maieutik Statistics (1999-2024): The dominant foundations of leadership and interpersonal relationships.
For more than two decades, Maieutik has observed how individuals build their leadership in a professional context.
Far from fixed approaches or behavioral typologies, we analyze the deep foundations on which an individual's natural influence rests.
Four fundamental pillars have been identified:
These foundations are never activated alone: they unfold in precise combinations, revealing coherent leadership styles that are stable over time, yet sensitive to context.
The statistics presented here, drawn from profile analysis between 1999 and 2024, make it possible to visualize the evolution of dominant dynamics: they shed light on deep movements, cultural shifts, and the leadership profiles most present today in organizations.
For more than two decades, Maieutik has observed how individuals build their leadership in a professional context.
Far from fixed approaches or behavioral typologies, we analyze the deep foundations on which an individual's natural influence rests.
Four fundamental pillars have been identified:
- Individuality, which expresses the need to position oneself as a fully-fledged subject;
- Mobilization, which reveals the ability to inspire, bring people together and move them into action;
- Centralization, which reflects the need to orient, organize and control parameters;
- Altruism, which refers to the impulse toward support, listening and cooperation.
These foundations are never activated alone: they unfold in precise combinations, revealing coherent leadership styles that are stable over time, yet sensitive to context.

For HR, these results confirm the value of:
Toward better understood and better mobilized leadership.
The data reveal a stable and powerful trend:
- Centralization remains the most activated foundation, confirming a generalized need for structure, steering and process control.
- Altruism maintains a strong presence, particularly in relation to centralization, reflecting a desire to guide and support.
- Mobilization appears to be slightly declining, despite its strategic importance for collective engagement.
- Individuality, rarer, remains a valuable lever when combined with another foundation, especially altruism.
For HR, these results confirm the value of:
- not reducing leadership to a hierarchical role,
- better understanding the internal combination that structures the way influence is exercised,
- and mobilizing individuals in accordance with their dominant foundation, rather than against it.
Sequence of strengths and talents at work
Maieutik Statistics (1999-2024): Work profiles - What people do fluidly, without imposed effort.
Since 1999, Maieutik has observed how individuals take action and contribute at work, based on stable preferences that go beyond simple skills or job titles.
What we measure here is not what an individual is capable of doing, but the way they naturally tend to engage in a mission, contribute meaningfully and mobilize themselves.
Based on data collected over more than 25 years, five dominant contribution profiles have been identified:
These dynamics are not exclusive; they are articulated in complementary sequences, revealing distinct, coherent and reproducible work styles.
They make it possible to identify the internal drivers of performance, the zones of fluidity as well as the zones of friction when a profile is mobilized against its nature.
The statistics presented here compare the evolution of these profiles from 1999 to 2024, offering a valuable reading of deep trends in the world of work, as well as the implicit expectations of organizations.

What we measure here is not what an individual is capable of doing, but the way they naturally tend to engage in a mission, contribute meaningfully and mobilize themselves.
Based on data collected over more than 25 years, five dominant contribution profiles have been identified:
- Innovate: create, transform, step outside the framework to propose new paths.
- Build: design, plan and structure in order to give shape to what must last.
- Manage: coordinate, organize and optimize resources and processes.
- Administer: enforce, supervise and secure through established rules.
- Assist: support, facilitate and respond to needs within a relational framework.
These dynamics are not exclusive; they are articulated in complementary sequences, revealing distinct, coherent and reproducible work styles.

For HR, this mapping is a strategic tool:
Align missions and natural contribution modes: a lever for sustainable performance.
The data reveal a clear trend:
- Manage / Administer profiles remain highly dominant, representing more than 74% of the observed combinations.
- These are profiles of rigor, structure and operational reliability, sought after for their ability to maintain the framework and guarantee efficiency.
- Build profiles are declining, moving from 27,66% in 1999 to 16,25% in 2024.
- This reflects a decrease in the natural presence of profiles carrying structure, stability and long-term construction.
- In a rapidly changing world, this trend highlights an organizational urgency to value, support and develop these foundation talents, which are now rarer.
- Innovate profiles remain infrequent, despite their strategic role in transformation phases.
- They are valuable, but often under-mobilized or constrained within overly rigid structures.
- The more discreet Assist profile remains essential for ensuring relational fluidity, service continuity and support for collective action.
For HR, this mapping is a strategic tool:
- to better distribute roles,
- adjust expectations according to real profiles,
- and foster engagement based on each person's natural dynamic.
Autonomy and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. Autonomy: a pillar of sustainable performance.
Autonomy, from the Greek autonomía (« giving oneself one's own rules »), refers to the ability to act, think and decide according to one's own reference points, without being unduly dependent on the opinion or judgment of others.
It is a fundamental indicator of the internal reference system, ensuring aligned, responsible and self-directed action.
In the Maieutik Spectrum analysis, autonomy is expressed differently depending on the sequence of brain resources activated by the brain, that is, according to the subject's natural cognitive entry point.

- Profiles with strong autonomy (>= 75%)
- Logical intelligence + Intuitive intelligence dominates very strongly (27,78%): this profile stands out through its ability to grasp the essential and make decisions based on internal logic, before any external influence.
- The other sequences do not reach 10%, confirming the uniqueness of this circuit in the construction of robust autonomy.
- Profiles with high autonomy (60-75%)
- Still leading: Logical intelligence + Intuitive intelligence (49,31%), followed by Logical intelligence + Rational intelligence (39,78%) and Rational intelligence + Logical intelligence (42,03%).
- These three circuits activate structured autonomy: decisions are based on one's own reasoning, even if sometimes influenced by the environment.
- Profiles with moderate autonomy (50-60%)
- A shift can be observed here: the share of Logical intelligence + Intuitive intelligence decreases (15,97%), while Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence profiles become more frequent.
- These profiles may present a hybrid reference system, oscillating between autonomy and the search for external validation.
- Profiles with low autonomy (< 50%)
- Reactive intelligence + Rational intelligence massively dominates results < 50% (39,17% between 40-50%, 49,17% below 40%).
- This configuration indicates a strong dependence on external reference points (expectations, constraints, pressure, validation).
- The Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence profiles follow the same trend.
3. HR conclusions
Profiles with strong autonomy (>= 75%): A consolidated internal reference point, stable and rarely influenced.
The Logical intelligence + Intuitive intelligence circuit dominates here, expressing visionary autonomy, more sensitive to meaning than to norms.
The Logical intelligence + Intuitive intelligence circuit dominates here, expressing visionary autonomy, more sensitive to meaning than to norms.
- These profiles make decisions by relying on their own mental structure, with little need for external validation.
- They are the most autonomous: they possess clarity of direction, the ability to self-direct, and reliable judgment, even in ambiguous contexts.
- They should be prioritized for high-responsibility roles, project leadership, low-supervision environments, or strategic steering; wherever initiative, insight and strong internal alignment are expected.
- They require little supervision, but do need intellectual recognition for their contribution.
Profiles with high autonomy (60-75%): An active internal reference point, but a flexible one.
The Logical intelligence + Rational intelligence or Rational intelligence + Logical intelligence circuits show functional autonomy, while still remaining sensitive to structure or validation.
The Logical intelligence + Rational intelligence or Rational intelligence + Logical intelligence circuits show functional autonomy, while still remaining sensitive to structure or validation.
- These profiles rely on personal reasoning to act, while still being able to take context or external expectations into account.
- They show structured autonomy, oriented toward logic, coherence and progressive accountability.
- They are suited to expert, management or operational steering positions where autonomy in action and decision-making is expected, along with the ability to adapt to rules and structure.
- They require management based on trust and clear reference points, which are flexible rather than restrictive.
Profiles with moderate autonomy (50-60%): A reference point shared between internal and external sources.
The Rational intelligence + Logical intelligence or Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence circuits are more frequent, marking the beginning of the presence of circuits dominated by Reactive intelligence.
The Rational intelligence + Logical intelligence or Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence circuits are more frequent, marking the beginning of the presence of circuits dominated by Reactive intelligence.
- These profiles oscillate between the desire to be autonomous and the search for a reassuring external anchor.
- They may demonstrate autonomy, but with a more pronounced need for validation, structure or external reference points.
- They are suited to structured but flexible environments, with explicit rules, present support and gradual progression toward autonomy.
- They respond well to present but non-directive supervision, where the soundness of their choices is regularly confirmed.
Profiles with low autonomy (< 50%): A dominant external reference point, with dependence on imposed reference points.
The dominant circuits are Reactive intelligence + Rational intelligence and Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence.
The dominant circuits are Reactive intelligence + Rational intelligence and Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence.
- These profiles need a reassuring external anchor.
- They need clear directives, precise frameworks, and function better with regular guidance or explicit supervision.
- They should be positioned in procedural, structured operational roles, or in contexts where expectations are standardized and repetitive.
- They respond well to structuring management based on regularity, precise instructions and concrete feedback, which is essential to their mobilization.
4. Strategic uses for HR.
- Recruitment and selection:
- Identify brain sequences in order to anticipate the candidate's natural level of autonomy.
- Adjust expectations according to the position: a profile with low autonomy is not less competent, but requires a specific type of environment.
- Internal mobility and development:
- Detect potential for accountability, or conversely the risks of overload caused by too much autonomy.
- Support profiles transitioning toward greater autonomy through targeted coaching, mentoring or progressive assignments.
- Talent development:
- Understand the source of motivation to act independently in order to strengthen engagement.
- Rely on highly autonomous profiles for ambassador, internal trainer or transformation leader roles.
Optimism and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. Optimism: a central lever of sustainable mobilization.
From the Latin optimus: the best, optimism is a state of mind; it is the propensity, capacity and ease of seeing the positive side of things and situations.
Optimism, understood as the natural orientation toward what is possible, attainable and constructive, is a key indicator of mobilizing energy: moving toward what one wants or moving away from what one does not want.
It reflects the way an individual projects themselves into action: do they move forward to achieve, to obtain, or to avoid, not to lose?
In the Maieutik Spectrum analysis, optimism is observed through the filter of the activated brain sequences, revealing the mode of interpreting reality and the underlying emotional dynamic.

- A shift can be observed here: logic-dominant circuits give way to the sequences Rational intelligence + Logical intelligence (31,59%) and Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence (31,02%), which become the majority circuits.
- These profiles show an unstable balance between confidence and caution.
They can project themselves, but their energy is slowed by risk assessment and the need for reassurance.
- Profiles with low optimism (< 50%)
- Reactive intelligence + Rational intelligence massively dominates results between 40-50% (36,67%), and below 40% (41,67%).
- This configuration indicates strong dependence on external reference points (expectations, constraints, pressure, validation).
- The Rational intelligence + Reactive intelligence profiles follow the same trend.
- This translates into a defensive reading. Action is often motivated by fear of error, the search for compliance or external pressure.
3. HR conclusions
Profiles with strong optimism (>= 75%): An expansive vision and confidence in action.
The Logical intelligence + Intuitive intelligence circuit stands out very strongly, revealing functioning based on the rapid perception of opportunities, a sharp sense of intention, and natural confidence in life.

Initiative and Brain Sequences.
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. Initiative: a lever for moving into autonomous action.
From the Latin initiare, from initium: beginning. It therefore means taking charge of oneself, becoming responsible, becoming the architect of one's life, the architect of one's happiness as well as one's unhappiness.
Initiative distinguishes those who anticipate, propose, launch... from those who wait, respond, or react.
It reflects the way an individual projects themselves into action: do they take initiative, or do they wait for others to initiate action?
In the Maieutik Spectrum analysis, initiative is observed through dominant brain sequences, revealing the nature of the action trigger : internal, logical, cautious, or context-dependent.

- Internal mobility and development:
- Progress from reactive to proactive by creating safe trial-and-error contexts.
- Identify dormant initiative potential and bring it out through coaching or test assignments.
- Talent development:
- Entrust naturally proactive profiles with roles as ambassadors of change or innovation drivers.
- Encourage cautious profiles to experiment within a framework of trust, by naming progressive successes.
Obligation and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to obligation: a lever of responsibility or constraint.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to obligation is not limited to an external constraint. It represents the way an individual integrates, prioritizes and handles responsibilities in action.
Obligation can act as an entry filter into action: for some, it is a step to process before mobilizing toward something else; for others, it becomes a structuring moral reference point.
Each sequence of intelligences reflects a specific way of inhabiting obligation:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person handles what must be done, before or after their other drivers of action.
And it is a valuable key for supporting constraint management, work organization and the distribution of responsibilities.

Possibility and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to possibility: a lever of openness or dispersion.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to possibility is not limited to having options. It represents the way an individual perceives, organizes and uses margins of maneuver in action.
Possibility can act as a lever for entering into action: for some, it opens room for maneuver and stimulates adjustment; for others, it makes decisions more complex if the options are too numerous or insufficiently prioritized.
Each sequence of intelligences reflects a specific way of inhabiting possibility:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person reads what is feasible, opens or closes options, and builds their action within a field of possibilities.
And it is a valuable key for supporting flexibility of execution, management of unforeseen events and adjustment of responsibilities according to profiles.

- Avoid cultural gaps: a profile strongly oriented toward possibility may clash with a highly normative organization, and vice versa.
- Internal mobility and development:
- Raise teams' awareness of the diversity of relationships to possibility in order to avoid tensions between « option openers » and « guardians of the framework ».
- Favor profiles with average possibility activation in coordination contexts: they know how to balance openness, realism and adaptability.
- Talent development:
- Encourage profiles strongly oriented toward possibilities to share their flexibility, while opening spaces for structuring and prioritization.
- Create a company culture that values both the opening of options, the quality of decision-making, and the ability to articulate possibility, duty and desire according to roles.
Desire and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to desire: a lever of engagement or variability.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to desire is not reduced to a simple emotional register. It represents the way an individual mobilizes their personal drive, invests in what moves them and sustains their engagement in action.
Desire can act as an entry driver into action: for some, it provides the energy to invest themselves; for others, it remains present, but is modulated by duty, structure or possibilities.
Each sequence of intelligences reflects a specific way of inhabiting desire:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person invests in what they want, what attracts them or what animates them, and how this driver articulates with other reference points for action.
And this is a valuable key for supporting motivation, consistency of engagement and adjustment of assignments according to profiles.

Past and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to the past: a lever of stability or a brake.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to the past is not limited to memory of facts. It is the way a person mobilizes their lived experience to guide their choices, clarify their judgments and orient their actions.
The past can act as a reference point, a source of stability and learning. But depending on the dominant brain sequences, it can also become a place of fixation, resistance or difficulty opening up to novelty.
Each dominant brain sequence reflects a distinct relationship to lived experience:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person learns from experience, handles novelty, repeats or transforms their patterns of action.
And this is a valuable key for supporting change, knowledge transfer, continuous improvement and organizational adaptation.

- Create a company culture that values history, adaptation and foresight at the same time, according to roles and contexts.
Present and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to the present: a lever of agility or a trap of immediacy.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to the present represents the way an individual perceives what is happening here and now, reacts to it and uses the immediate context to guide action.
The present can act as a lever of agility, responsiveness and operational effectiveness. But depending on the dominant brain sequences, it can also become a place of pressure, over-reaction, or difficulty stepping back.
Each dominant brain sequence reflects a different relationship to present time:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person reacts to what is happening, manages urgency, maintains presence and adjusts their action in real time.
And this is a strategic key for positioning an individual in contexts where operational effectiveness, emergency management or human contact are determining factors.

- Internal mobility and development:
- Identify collaborators whose reading of the present can support flow regulation, operational adjustment or real-time coordination.
- Support those who struggle to synchronize with immediacy through observation, feedback and contextual-vigilance training mechanisms.
- Talent development:
- Count on profiles strongly grounded in the present to manage urgent situations, dynamic interactions or interface functions.
- Help less-present profiles integrate anchoring rituals into the here and now, develop selective attention and better pick up signals in the environment.
Future and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to the future: a lever of anticipation or escape.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to the future is not only a capacity for projection: it is the way an individual orients themselves toward what is not yet there in order to guide decisions, initiate action or interpret the present.
The future can be a strategic resource - the resource of anticipation, innovative momentum or long-term vision. But depending on the brain circuits activated, it can also become an escape, anxious projection, or avoidance of present reality.
Each sequence of intelligences reflects its own dynamic:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person anticipates, projects themselves, handles uncertainty and gives meaning to their action through what is to come.
And this is a valuable key for supporting strategic vision, change management, project planning and the construction of mobilizing perspectives.

4. Strategic uses for HR.
- Recruitment and selection:
- Identify the intensity of the future lever in order to anticipate a person's capacity for projection, long-term vision and strategic planning.
- Ensure that the degree of projection required by the role corresponds to the candidate's natural future orientation.
- Internal mobility and development:
- Profiles with strong future activation can be mobilized on transformation assignments, long-term development, or prospective initiatives.
- For profiles less oriented toward the future, support toward vision should be favored by working on their ability to connect action to a clear purpose and gradually build perspectives.
- Talent development:
- Strengthening the Future lever means helping individuals build a mobilizing vision and formulate engaging personal and professional objectives.
- Value strongly future-oriented profiles as carriers of innovation, trajectory scouts or drivers of collective ambition.
Identity and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to identity: a lever of coherence or rigidity.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to identity is not limited to self-image or a social role. It represents the way an individual perceives themselves, defines themselves and adjusts to their experiences over time.
Identity can act as a foundation of inner stability, a clear reference point that allows the person to remain aligned in their choices. But depending on the dominant brain circuits, it can also become fixed, defensive, or conversely too permeable to the external context.
Each sequence of intelligences reflects a specific way of building one's identity:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person positions themselves, maintains their integrity or adjusts in action.
And this is a valuable key for supporting development, preventing internal conflicts, or adjusting communication according to profiles.

Relationship and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to connection: a lever of bonding or tension.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to connection is not limited to sociability or the ability to communicate. It represents the way an individual creates bonds, cooperates, adjusts to others and manages the distance between themselves and the group.
Relationship can act as a vector of collective fluidity, cooperation and shared engagement. But depending on the dominant brain circuits, it can also become a place of over-adaptation, dependence on how others see us, or conversely excessive protection.
Each sequence of intelligences reflects a specific way of inhabiting relationship:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person enters into relationship, enters cooperation, handles distance or adjusts in interaction.
And this is a valuable key for supporting collective dynamics, preventing relational tensions, or adjusting collaboration methods according to profiles.

- Internal mobility and development:
- Profiles with strong relational activation can be mobilized in coordination, mediation, support or team-management roles.
- For profiles less oriented toward relationship, functions where individual effectiveness and clarity of roles take precedence over relational dynamics should be favored.
- Talent development:
- Strengthening the relational lever means developing listening skills, collaboration and the quality of connection.
- Value strongly relational profiles as facilitators, creators of cohesion and guardians of the human climate.
Power and Brain Sequences
HR reading of observed statistical data
1. The relationship to power: a lever of action or control.
In the Maieutik Spectrum approach, the relationship to power is not limited to the exercise of formal authority or the search for control. It represents the way an individual takes hold of their capacity for action, influence, decision-making and transformation of reality.
Power can act as a driver of engagement, transformation and accountability. But depending on the dominant brain circuits, it can also become a place of over-control, tension, defensive affirmation or difficulty sharing initiative.
Each sequence of intelligences reflects a specific way of inhabiting power:
Understanding this dynamic means decoding how a person takes initiative, acts on the course of events, tolerates loss of control or shares power with others.
And this is a valuable key for supporting managerial postures, preventing authority tensions, or adjusting responsibilities according to profiles.

Power can act as a driver of engagement, transformation and accountability. But depending on the dominant brain circuits, it can also become a place of over-control, tension, defensive affirmation or difficulty sharing initiative.
Each sequence of intelligences reflects a specific way of inhabiting power:
- Some invest power as a natural capacity to act, decide, arbitrate and orient situations.
- Others approach it cautiously, first seeking legitimacy, reference points or a framework that authorizes action.
- Still others may engage in it intensely, with the risk of stiffening their position, over-controlling, or confusing influence with control.
