8. How would VIEW results relate to other similar assessments?
VIEW results will be generally similar to or consistent with other assessments that measure similar dimensions of learning style, cognitive style, or personality type. We have studied the correlations of VIEW scores with results on several other instruments; these are reported in detail in the VIEW Technical Manual. VIEW provides results in ordinary, user-friendly language that relates specifically to preferences for behavior that is important to problem solving and change management; it is not an all-inclusive or "omnibus" personality inventory, so it offers you focused, relevant results. VIEW's three dimensions and six styles make it easy for people to remember their results and to apply them in a variety of practical situations on a daily basis.
