Hogrefe is pleased to announce that a new post-Covid senior manager international norm for the NEO Personality Inventory, Third Edition UK (NEO-PI-3) was published on the Hogrefe Testsystem this week. Striving to meet the growing needs of global NEO-PI-3 UK users, data was collected from just under 500 managers in Australia, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom in spring/summer 2022. The sample represents both private and public sectors, across a wide range of industries.

It may represent the consideration of alternatives, abstracting from the concrete to the generalisable, changing tact when the situation requires it, learning from feedback, following what ‘works’, persisting until we get it ‘right’, and holding the ‘bigger picture’ in mind. Is this perhaps the definition of ‘cognitive flexibility’?
