Discover the shape of your mind.™
ShapeID™ is a practical, research-based framework for building stronger teams, strengthening connection, and creating belonging using a distinct cognitive identifier which is self-selected and generates a shape profile built to foster neuroinclusion.
A short questionnaire helps you find your ShapeID™. Every person on your team thinks differently. Some move in straight lines. Some think in circles. Some need time to process information before they speak, while some process out loud while they speak. ShapeID gives those differences a name, a shape, and a strategy — turning different ways of thinking into your team's greatest advantage.

Explore the seven shapesCOGNITIVE DIVERSITY APPRECIATION (CDA™) is the missing piece of belonging.
Most conversations about inclusion focus on who people are. ShapeID starts somewhere different — with how people think. Built on original research into COGNITIVE DIVERSITY APPRECIATION (CDA), ShapeID gives teams a shared, judgment-free language for understanding the different ways minds work, so people stop misreading each other and start building together.
Founded by Dr. Ashley Goodwin Lowe — international award-winning speaker, author, and strategist — ShapeID is her original, independent body of work, born from the doctoral research that gave rise to COGNITIVE DIVERSITY APPRECIATION (CDA).

ShapeID: Think. Lead. Grow.
By Dr. Ashley Goodwin Lowe
“The shape of your mind is not a limitation. It is a blueprint. And it has been waiting for you to identify it.”
Belonging isn't just a buzzword. To truly connect people to one another, we have to show appreciation for the ways in which we think. Each mind shapes our conversations — and the ways we show up authentically each day.
Some people process in straight lines. Some think in circles. Some need time to process before they speak. None of it is wrong — it's just our thinking styles taking shape. ShapeID is a practical, research-backed framework for building real communication, strengthening connection, and creating belonging, paired with questionnaire questions and the honest, lived stories of the woman who built this work from the inside of her own brilliant, "scattered," undeniably Cloud-shaped mind.
"You were never the wrong shape. You were simply waiting to be seen."
There's a toll for not knowing your shape.
Most people pay it daily, without realizing it:
- In relationships — the same fight, over and over
- At work — talked over, misread, or passed over
- On teams — friction that never gets named
- With the people you love — showing up without knowing your shape's unique language

ShapeID™ is a cognitive self-identifier. It is not a clinical instrument. The shapes in this framework have not been linked to any clinical diagnosis. ShapeID is not a diagnostic tool and is not a substitute for medical, psychological, or psychiatric evaluation. ShapeID does not identify, screen for, or determine whether someone is neurodivergent or neurotypical, or has any medical or psychological condition. A ShapeID profile is not a legal, medical, or clinical determination or classification of any individual. These shapes represent cognitive thinking preferences — the natural architecture of how a mind processes, contributes, and connects. There are no right or wrong answers — only your honest selected preferences. All shapes are value neutral, meaning no shape is greater than another. ShapeID must never be used, in any capacity, to screen, favor, or exclude an individual based on their ShapeID profile, including in hiring, promotion, selection, or decision-making.
ShapeID — including all related frameworks, research, data, and future development — stands on its own as an original, independent work created by Dr. Ashley Goodwin Lowe. The ShapeID business, website, and services are operated and provided by ShapeID LLC.
