[Ailist] RE: Kolbe Index

No that's true. Kolb is the learning style inventory guru and Kolbe is the method of measuring your approach to task or your striving instincts, developed by Kathy Kolbe, daughter of Wunderlich IQ test developer much used, I gather, by the US armed forces.

I really like how there are no wrong results. Kolbe doesn't shame or pinpoint so-called shortcomings. In fact Kolbe contends that everyone's result is a path to success.

At the risk of stating the obvious (for clunkers like me) this Kolbe Index
has nothing to do with David Kolb and LSI.  I rushed to the site, thinking
that there might be a connection.

Dear all:
One of the assessment instruments that I use is the Kolbe  Index which tests

for a person's striving instincts, that is, how we approach  tasks, given
full 
freedom to do a task the way we'd most wish to. One of the  things I love 
about it is that there are no wrong results (sort of like Myers  Briggs) and
the 
emphasis on debriefing is to help people maximize their  effectiveness with 
the strengths they already have.  (If anyone wants to  look up the tool it's
at 
_www.kolbe.com_ (http://www.kolbe.com) .)
