What is the Basadur Innovation Profile?
The Basadur Creative Problem Solving Profile (CPSP) Inventory measures an individual's unique blend of preferences for the four stages of the creative process. By plotting one's Inventory scores on a two dimensional graph, an individual can display his or her own preferred blend of the four different stages. One's largest quadrant on the graph represents one's preferred or dominant style, while the sizes of the other quadrants represent supporting orientations in turn. The resulting unique blend of styles is one's profile.
Each unique style reflects individual preferences for ways of gaining and using knowledge. Some people prefer to understand things more by experiencing while others prefer to use abstract thinking and analysis to understand. Also, some prefer to use understanding for generating options while others prefer to use understanding to evaluate options.
Constructing the Basadur Profile is much less formal and less threatening. It measures states, not traits. It is a tool to help an individual, team or organization understand how to increase creativity and innovation in a supportive environment. No one profile, or style, is considered more "creative" than any other. All styles require creativity, merely different kinds of creativity, each one contributing uniquely to the overall creative process and innovative results. In the example to the right, we have the Profile of a person who prefers stage four of the process, implementation.

How does the Profile work?
The Basadur Profile site is set up just like a bank account. As long as you enough 'slots' in your account, you can create and set-up different teams under this account for others to take the Profile. The first step in setting up a multi-team account is to create a name for the account and ensure whoever is setting it up becomes the administrator for the account. All correspondence from the site will be sent to the administrator's email address. Every time a new team is created, the site will assign a unique key/link for that team and an email will be sent to the administrator with the link embedded and instructions to email to team participants.
The administrator also has access to all the data, can create team scatter diagrams and can assign manager roles to other people inside the organization so these people can create and set-up their own teams. The site simply counts down the number of slots available from the amount purchased. Once an account is nearing the end of available slots, the site will let the administrator know. Also, if you forget your password, you can use the Password Reset tool and enter your email address. Passwords are encrypted and are not accessible by our staff.

What is the Skills Assessment for Teams - InQ (Innovation Quotient)
The InQ (Innovation Quotient) survey assesses the quality of your team's problem-solving and innovation. It measures attitudes, skills and behaviors. Each person gives other team members a score depending on how frequently certain attitudes and behaviors crop up.
The results show how your team rates. The five levels are innovation novice, innovation beginner, innovation proficient, innovation expert and innovation master.
How does the InQ survey work?
An invitation link is provided when a team is created. Existing teams can also access the InQ by using the "Invite Members" button found on the team management page. See below:
We also allow the use of a single link for completion of both assessments.
How much does the InQ cost?
The InQ is currently bundled along with the Profile at no additional cost.
Please see the Profile Pricing page for more details.How do I use the InQ with a team?
The InQ is available for use in one of two ways: Either as an integrated single link or as separate invitation links (one for each assessment).
When a new team is created or an existing team is modified, the option to integrate the InQ in to the Profile process can be specified.
Enabling this option will provide a single invitation link that will require members to complete the InQ and the Profile. Using the single link will prompt members to complete the InQ first then the Profile.
Leaving this setting unchecked will provide you with two separate links. One for the Profile and one for the InQ.
Once a team is created, check your email for invitation instructions or use the "Invite Members" button to get started.
You will either have one or two invitation links available based on the assement link setting you set when the team was created or updated.
Single invitation link:
Separate invitation links:
Send the link (or links) to your members to have them complete the Profile or InQ (or both).
