The History, Science and Philosophy of the Inclusive Intelligence Test

The Inclusive Intelligence Test is adapted from the New IQ, a tool for measuring inclusivity that was developed for numerous federal agencies. 

The New IQ, developed by the Federal Office of Personnel Management, in consultation with researchers and others, was used throughout many federal agencies for measuring levels of inclusivity and overall job satisfaction. 

The questions that make up the New IQ and now the Inclusive Intelligence Test were identified through a rigorous factor analysis trial of the Office of Personnel Management’s Employee Viewpoint Survey (EVS) questions. A total of 20 questions had the highest correlation to inclusive environments of the 87 questions tested. For the Inclusive Intelligence Test, the 20 salient questions have been grouped into 5 Habits of inclusion, (Fair, Open, Cooperative, Supportive, Empowering). 

A driving philosophy of the Inclusive Intelligence Test is that behaviors, when repeated over time, form habits and that positively influencing habits is critical for creating an inclusive environment. The driving philosophy and science is that behaviors can be learned, practiced, and developed into habits of inclusiveness and that these positive habits can then improve the inclusive intelligence of organizational members and, ultimately, the entire organization.

How the Inclusive Intelligence Test Works

Using a bank of standard questions that have been vetted and scientifically measured and tested, the Inclusive Intelligence Test is customized for each organization. 

The architects of the Inclusive Intelligence Test, who are experts in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion, work with you to customize the test to ensure ease of completion and responsiveness to specific target areas.

A tailored message about the test, with instructions and an explanation of its purpose, is then crafted with you and accompanies the test, which is delivered – in most cases – electronically to designated members of your organization.

We collect and analyze the data and then prepare a written report and also schedule a call to discuss the findings and next possible steps with selected members of your team. In the report we compile, we will offer recommendations for you to consider for how to address areas of identified need or weakness. We will also help you with strategies for celebrating your areas of strength concerning diversity, equity and inclusion. 

Once decisions are made about how – and if – you seek to take further steps with specific initiatives or training, we will then offer a follow-up Inclusive Intelligence Test to measure any change.
