What's being assessed?

This assessment uses six of its twelve factors to sample and display the processes we follow to reach conclusions. These range from open-ended reasoning to blind faith. These factors are all alternatives, any one of which might be used alone or combined with others.

A further five factors reveal the likely structure and tone of transactions when communicating with other people. These five are all concurrent and interlace with one another during transactions.

The final factor rates perception of our own decision making and the effectiveness of our communication.
