About Insight Assessment
Why We Do What We Do
We are a value-driven company. Everyone at Insight Assessment is committed to and inspired by the value of advancing critical thinking. We believe in the power of a strong critical thinking skillset and a positive critical thinking mindset to produce better individual and group problem-solving and better decision-making.
Since 1986, we have assisted thousands of organizations and millions of individuals to gain the many professional, personal, and societal benefits that are the natural outcomes of a strong critical thinking skillset and mindset.
We believe that no society, no organization, no individual, no community can thrive and flourish without its members learning to think well together. The risk of poor decision-making is too great. Critical thinking drives people and enables people to come to well-reasoned, reflective judgments about what to do and what to believe.
Critical thinking empowers everyone to analyze problems well, interpret information correctly, draw sound and reasonable inferences, evaluate arguments and the credibility of sources in a fair-minded way, and cogently explain their reasons for the positions and points of view they embrace.
Critical thinking gives leadership of all kinds at all levels the capacity to solve novel, urgent, important, capacious, and ill-structured problems well.
