Executive Function Predictor™
The Missing Link Between Intelligence and Performance
Discover how your brain works in just 3 minutes.
The Executive Function Predictor™ is the first step into the FOCUS™ Executive Function Integration Framework.
It is designed to help you understand the cognitive skills that influence how you plan, organise, focus, regulate emotions, make decisions and turn intentions into action.
Many intelligent, capable people struggle not because they lack ambition, discipline or potential, but because their executive functioning is under pressure.
This short assessment helps you identify your executive function strengths and challenges, giving you a clearer understanding of what may be affecting your productivity, confidence, wellbeing and performance.

The Science Behind It
The Executive Function Predictor™ is informed by research into executive functioning, self-regulation and metacognition.
Research from Harvard highlights executive function skills as powerful predictors of success across learning, work, health and life outcomes.
Research from Columbia University has also highlighted the importance of metacognition: the ability to think about your own thinking. When you understand how you learn, decide, focus and regulate yourself, you are better able to adapt, improve and perform.
The Executive Function Predictor™ is designed to support this self-awareness and provide a starting point for meaningful change.
The First Step in the FOCUS™ Methodology
The Executive Function Predictor™ connects directly with the FOCUS™ Methodology.
FOCUS™ is Anna Dafna’s signature approach combining psychology, executive function coaching, neuroscience, nervous system-informed practice and practical strategy development.
The methodology supports five key areas:
Flow
Understanding attention, energy, motivation and state so you can access deeper focus and perform with less resistance.
Organisation
Creating practical systems for planning, prioritising, time management and follow-through.
Confidence
Building self-trust, reducing shame and strengthening belief in your ability to succeed.
Unlocking Productivity
Moving beyond generic productivity advice into personalised strategies that match how your brain works.
Strengths
Identifying and using your natural cognitive strengths so you can perform with greater authenticity and impact.
The Predictor is where the process begins. It gives you insight into your current executive function profile and helps identify which areas may need support.
