About this online assessment (Basadur Profile)

A scientifically based instrument to help you discover your own innovation style while respecting those of others

This online assessment is a scientifically based instrument developed by Dr. Min Basadur for people to discover their own innovation style while respecting those of others. Each of us has our own unique blend of innovation styles, called the Basadur Innovation Profile. The Basadur Profile offers an additional kind of diversity, called “cognitive diversity” meaning capitalizing on the different ways people think, innovate and problem solve, their Style. Understanding and appreciating each other’s styles is a powerful building block to forming teams that perform and innovate better.

How this online assessment works

  • Understand your problem solving style

    The Basadur Innovation Profile Inventory measures your unique blend of preferences for the four stages of the innovation process: generating, conceptualizing, optimizing, implementing. The resulting unique blend of styles is your Basadur Profile.

  • Learn how you gain and use knowledge

    Some people prefer to understand things by experiencing while others prefer to use abstract thinking and analysis to understand. Likewise, some people like to use understanding for generating options while others prefer to use understanding to evaluate options.

  • Learn to work with your Profile to optimize your performance and enjoy your work

    We also want to help people use their own Profile to capitalize on their strengths and find fulfilment in their work. The Profile can also help people identify development opportunities as it is very possible to increase skills in all four stages of the creative process by training or coaching.

  • Not a personality test

    This assessment measures states, not traits. It is a tool to help an individual, team, or organization understand how to increase creativity and innovation in a supportive environment. No one profile, or style, is considered more “creative” than any other, each one contributes uniquely to the overall creative process.
