Rubrics, Rating Forms and Other Tools

The Insight Assessment research team has developed measures which focus on a variety of characterological attributes of interest to our clients and other scholars.   The Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric and the Professional Judgment Rating Form were developed by our research team to make holistic assessments of critical thinking in educational and workplace settings. Both are used for teaching critical thinking as well, because they are easy to use as the basis for mentoring and reflective discussions about reflective and fair-minded problem solving and decision making.

Other measures  (including the Dutifulness Scale, General Perceptions of Prejudice Scale and Openness to Diversity Scale) have been developed to focus on a variety of characterological attributes of interest to our clients and other scholars.  Please contact Insight Assessment for further information about these measures, or to discuss the possibility of custom designing a measure which addresses your organization's needs.
