There are many complex problem solving models. Some of the common business models are Design Thinking, Lean Six Sigma and Agile. These and other models emphasize different aspects of complex problem solving.

There are also models for problem solving in education. There are E-Learning models, Blended Learning models, Teaching-Learning models etc.

None of models in either business or education consider the problem solving preference of the people solving any complex problems they are to solve.

Everyone has an innate, natural thinking preference for problem solving. The thinking preference is measurable. FourSight measures thinking preference for problem solving.

Knowing the diverse problem solving preferences of a team reveals the cognitive diversity of the team. For example, some people seem to always have ideas. Others ask a lot of questions. Still others prefer to tinker on something until they ‘get it right’. Some people ‘just want to get it done.’

FourSight, a renowned cognitive diversity assessment tool, provides invaluable insights into individuals' thinking preferences, particularly in problem-solving contexts. By identifying whether individuals lean towards clarifying, ideating, developing, or implementing stages of problem solving, FourSight illuminates diverse cognitive approaches within a team.

Knowing the instinctive cognitive diversity of the team renders a group of people working together more tolerant and more efficient. The online FourSight assessment takes 10 minutes.
