Welcome
For over 25 years, Insight Assessment has provided tools to measure critical thinking for clients who understand that a measure of an individual’s critical thinking ability is a reliable indicator of how they will perform when faced with new problems in high stakes and time-limited situations. As a world leader in the measurement of critical thinking, Insight Assessment has developed a uniquely comprehensive array of test instruments which includes tools designed for professional and academic use from the third grade through doctoral level. Each test has been designed to objectively measure the critical thinking skills and dispositions of test takers at targeted educational levels or with question content attuned to the interests of specific professional fields. Online or paper and pencil administration is available.
In English and in many authorized translations, these high quality instruments are in use with professionals, new hires, candidates, and students at every educational level by businesses, universities, schools, and government agencies.
No society, local or global, can sustain itself and flourish without its members learning to think well together.
Critical Thinking
Is Your Staff Ready for the New Economy?
Announcing a new solution
Employers across the world are recognizing that poor thinking and weak problem-solving can cost clients, time, revenue and opportunities. Corporate bottom lines depend on the ability of staff and management to skillfully evaluate information, analyze opportunity costs and benefits—and to deliver results. Employers simply cannot afford to invest in new hires and staff who lack the reasoning skills that produce results; they need to hire and promote the best problem solvers who make it possible for their companies to succeed in today’s challenging global markets.
Corporate and business success is increasingly defined by the ability to compete in the fast paced global information economy. Leadership requires managing change, responding effectively to new opportunities and anticipating new risks. To thrive businesses must leverage their most valuable resources—their employees, managers and leaders.
Eagle Assessment Business Solutions enable employers to attract, develop and support qualified groups of employees. Our clients gain a competitive edge by hiring and promoting using Eagle’s multileveled objective measurements of an individual’s decision-making skills and mindset (like teamwork, honesty, work ethic.)
