The Cognitive Style Index: A Measure of Intuition‐Analysis For Organizational Research

Christopher W. Allinson and John Hayes

Journal of Management Studies, 1996, vol. 33, issue 1, 119-135

Abstract: Almost 1000 adults participated in the development of the Cognitive Style Index (CSI), a new measure designed specifically for use with managerial and professional groups. the objectives of the study were, first, to produce a psychome‐trically sound instrument suitable for application in large‐scale organizational studies, and second, through its development, to confirm empirically the generic intuition‐analysis dimension of cognitive style. Findings suggest that each objective was largely fulfilled. At a time when there is a burgeoning interest in intuition as a basis for decision making and problem solving in organizations, the CSI would appear to be a notable addition to the small collection of measures appropriate for survey research.
