This online assessment externalises and tracks a person\u2019s thinking skills according to thousands of measuring points. It is self-administered and supervised and involves an \u201calchemist\/scientist\/artist\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;
