GPT for better understanding my cognitive, emotional, and relational architecture
Overview
I recently came across a couple of posts on LinkedIn12 that got me thinking about how I can use GPT to better understand my cognitive, emotional, and relational architecture. The post discusses how GPT can be used to create a mind map of your life, which can help you identify patterns and connections in your thoughts and feelings.
I decided to give it a try and see what I could come up with. I used GPT to generate a mind map of my life, focusing on my cognitive, emotional, and relational architecture. The results were fascinating and provided me with a new perspective on myself.
The prompt I used was:
I want to better understand my cognitive, emotional, and relational architecture - how my mind works, how I process the world, and what makes me thrive. Based on our conversations, patterns in how I think, and the way I talk through problems, generate a structured table that maps out my internal wiring.
Categories should include:
Guiding Force
Core Personality
Superpowers
Growth Edges
Cognitive Architecture
Emotional Architecture
Relational Architecture
For each one, include a short description (how I experience it) and a ‘How It Shows Up’ column (real-life traits or behaviors that others might notice).
Make it sound like me. Use natural language, vivid but clear phrasing, and focus on insight, not fluff.
Results
Curious what you think! I found this exercise to be incredibly insightful and a great way to reflect on my personal development journey. If you’re interested in trying it out, I encourage you to give it a go and see what insights you can uncover about yourself.
