This article presents the first validated study of capacities (understood as "philosophical potentials") of people with intellectual (dys)ability or intellectual functional diversity. The research carried out aims to assess three specific philosophical potentials: firstly, thinking potentials understood as processes of critical empowerment and not only as cognitive skills, in these potentials, the importance of people's philosophical questions is an indispensable element; secondly, creative potentials understood as processes of divergent or lateral reasoning in which alternative solutions to real or imaginary problems are sought; and thirdly, moral potentials understood as decision-making processes that take into account the ethical and emotional dimension of any person as part of a moral and political community. This questionnaire uses the methodology called "Free Thinking Approach" in contexts of cognitive disadvantage, a methodology that is inspired by the "Lipman methodology" and other methodologies from the field of emotional education and values education. The conclusion we have reached is that the validation of this questionnaire confirms the importance of the "philosophical dialogue" in the processes of empowerment of people with cognitive disadvantages [...]
