Inscape Publishing's
Commitment to Ongoing Research.
Inscape Publishing is committed to maintaining the highest standards
of instrument development and application through careful research
and development processes. We ensure all of our instruments offer
valid scores and accurate feedback to the respondent. Each
instrument is designed to provide reasonably accurate
interpretations or feedback based on your scores.
What Does Valid and Reliable Mean?
Validity indicates whether an assessment measures the concept it is
intended to measure. Reliability indicates whether an assessment is
measuring a concept consistently.
Why is Validity and Reliability
Important to Me?
Inscape Publishing's learning instruments help you better understand
yourself and others by clarifying what you are thinking and feeling
in a particular situation. Within our learning instruments, you can
find your responses and tendencies and compare them with those of
others. You receive an interpretation of your results that helps you
understand and explain your responses and assists you in most
effectively and efficiently reaching your goals.
However, a learning instrument can
only provide useful feedback if it measures what it claims to
measure and if it does so consistently. Many companies just give you
their best guess. They tell you what they think their assessment
measures and what they think your results mean. Inscape Publishing
uses research to insure that our instruments provide you with
accurate and meaningful information. Research means that the content
of our assessments is based on the real-world experiences of people
nation-wide rather than the beliefs of just one or two individuals.
Through research, we maximize the accuracy and usefulness of our
products for you.
What is a Research Report?
A research report provides information on the history and
development of a learning instrument. In addition, information is
included on how the reliability and validity of the instrument was
established.
