Cognitive agility
Cognitive agility is the ability to quickly and appropriately change your perspective, strategy, or way of thinking when data changes.
Definition
Cognitive agility is close to cognitive flexibility. It helps you switch between tasks, update hypotheses, understand different points of view and not get stuck in one interpretation. It does not mean chaos or lack of consistency; means the ability to correct when reality requires a new response.
