Problem-solving styles are consistent individual differences in the ways people prefer to deal with new ideas, manage change, and respond effectively to complex, open-ended opportunities and challenges. Styles are natural individual preferences that support communication and productivity if we understand them and make them work for us.
VIEW is a brief, easy-to understand, questionnaire to assess problem-solving styles. It has been used with individuals from ages 12 to 84, across a wide variety of occupations and settings. It is based on extensive theory and research on creativity, innovation, and the psychology of the person.
