The CFTW Innovation Skills Assessment®

is the only instrument on the market that directly measures your ability to apply leadership and innovation skills to real world challenges. The instrument grows out of a decade of research led by Harvey Seifter and his Art of Science Learning organization, supported by large-scale grants from the National Science Foundation.

Unlike other assessments, the CFTW Innovation Skills Assessment® does not rely on self-reported data or arbitrary personality profiles. Our approach is radically different.

Here’s how it works:

  • You spend 30 minutes immersed in five different innovation scenarios.
  • The choices you make generate 91 performance measurements, which we synthesize into scores measuring your ability to apply a wide range of leadership and innovation skills, including:

Readiness to Learn

Openness to new information

Curiosity and inquiry

Tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty

Cognitive Agility

Idea range

Behavioral flexibility

Resilience

Collaboration

Behavioral empathy

Openness to diverse perspectives

Team leadership

Activating Innovation

Finding opportunities

Problem solving

Decision-making

  • In less than five minutes, you’ll receive a 20-page report with robust data and detailed developmental recommendations.
