These instruments, which include scales, indexes, and one-item measures have the potential to be used in both research and practice. A description of each assessment instrument is provided.

According to the authors, “The Harrison and Bramson Inquiry Modes Questionnaire … is based on the modes of inquiry outlined in five philosophical methodologies which are related to the five styles of thinking: analyst, synthesist, idealist, realist, and pragmatist. Leibniz’s symbolic logic, a scientific methodology developed by Descartes, corresponds to the analyst thinking style, Hegel’s dialectic phenomenology closely corresponds to the synthesist thinking style, while Kant’s philosophical idealism is related to the idealist style. Locke’s empiricism and its central idea of utilitarianism is like the realist thinking style, while Singer’s philosophical pragmatism is correlated to the pragmatist style (Harrison & Bramson, 1982b, p. 179). The most productive thinkers are those who are capable of thinking effectively in all five dimensions” (p. 29).
