After several investigations on the thinking levels of secondary and university students it is necessary to look for other factors to explain the cognitive performance of university students. A sample of 408 students from different programs was chosen. Two tests were applied: The formal thinking test, TOLT, and the test of masked figures for adults, GEFT. As working hypothesis we established the existence of a relationship between the thinking level and the cognitive style, DIC, in the sample, as well as the relationships between additional variables such as age, program, semester and gender. In order to do so the correlation coefficients of Pearson and of Spearman were used. Our results confirm previous results having to do with thinking levels but they establish that there is no relationship between the basic variables of our study. Here we only present the results on the basic variables of our study. Key Words: Psychological tests. Psychology as a profession.
