The Learning Orientation Index (LOI), is an online, supervised assessment technique that was developed by Dr M Prinsloo from Cognadev Ltd. This online assessment externalises and tracks a person’s thinking skills according to thousands of measuring points. It is self-administered and supervised and involves an “alchemist/scientist/artist” doing certain experiments to achieve certain results. These experiments are not scientific in nature, but are common sensical and fun to do. Initially, the experimentation takes place in a structured and linear manner.
As the person progresses, the challenges become less rule-based and more complex, intuitive, creative and the information more ambiguous and fuzzy. It is important for professionally registered and LOI accredited practitioners to provide feedback and/or LOI reports to assessment candidates.
