Radar onderzoeksachtergrond

We use instruments based on the most recent evolution in cognitive style research, which started off in the beginning of the 20th century with Carl Jung's work concerning psychological types. A next milestone came from the development of cognitive science, starting around 1975. Cognitive scientists found that cognitive patterns differ between countries as well as between contexts.

This led to several new pathways, some of which are vital to the development of the methodologies that Dynamo applies:

• The work of Geert Hofstede, Fons Trompenaars, and Charles Hampden-Turner about cultural differences in organisations and countries
• The work of Kolb et al. concerning learning styles
• The work of Robert Sternberg, David McClelland concerning thinking styles and motivation.
• The work of Leslie Cameron, Ross M. Steward et al. about the application of cognitive patterns in the context of work (motivation, working and thinking), which led to the Language and Behavior Profile (LAB Profile®) in 1980.
• The work of Clare W. Graves, Don Beck, Christopher Cowen on value systems and Spiral Dynamics
• The work of Steve de Shazer about Solution focused brief therapy from 1982
• The work of Cooperrider, D.L., Sorensen Jr., P. F. Whitney, D & Yaeger, about Appreciative Inquiry from 2000.
• The work of Patrick Merlevede of jobEQ et al to enable the electronic measurement of metaprograms by way of the iWAM questionnaire, avoiding the need for time-consuming personal interviews
