Some more detail
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.
Advantages
The LOI Report has been developed to validly and reliably reflect the following aspects of an individual’s cognitive and learning orientation:
The LOI aims to provide optimal direction to recruiters, academic institutions and test subjects regarding the most suitable study fields, work environments as well as developmental initiatives for school and university leavers.
