This grant will allow us to prototype developmental assessment technologies with three integrally-informed organizations who would otherwise not be able to afford scaled-up assessment projects. Adult developmental models of ego maturity, leadership, wisdom, and related capacities can help us map out the milestones and compass points of human potential that are so deeply needed to address contemporary challenges.
Unfortunately, those assessments with the highest quality and most integral orientation are expensive because they require hand-scoring by highly trained individuals, and that has limited the uptake of developmental approaches in society.
Our research is exploring the application of state-of-the-art text analysis and machine learning to build automatic scoring systems that could drastically reduce the cost of doing large-scale assessments based on sentence completion tests. This technology also has the promise of being extended to analyze arbitrary text such as twitter feeds to get rough estimates on developmental aspects of groups.
Large scale assessments of adult development will open up new territories for integral and developmental researchers and practitioners such as correlating ego development with personality typing systems and doing truly random sampling over populations. We have identified three integrally-informed change agency projects that could benefit from this new technology and that are excited to serve as test beds for its continued development, including these application areas: assessment of post-conventional characteristics of emerging spiritual leaders; leadership development for a public radio organization, and correlating ego development with other personality and capacity assessments in a college cohort.
About the MetaIntegral Foundation Be Impact program:
MIF aims to "apply methods and principles that are embracing a generous big-picture approach weaving together multiple perspectives in a comprehensive and inclusive way to help produce greater change, long-lasting change for a thriving civilization."
Donating any amount will put you on the list of donors who will be asked to vote for your top 5 of the 11 finalist proposals end of February. Every bit helps! The more funds raised the more of the finalists will be partially or fully funded (in order of vote count). (voting details)
