Actionable insights for accelerating developmental growth
Actionable insights for accelerating developmental growth
Grounded in decades of psychological research, our platform provides the most accurate automatic assessment of vertical development1, offering a map of how our internal worlds evolve, and the Maturity Indicators to focus on, in order to accelerate this evolution.
Knowledge of one's current stage of meaning-making and maturity (and how best to improve it) can greatly support vertical growth. This kind of growth supports change not only in what we know and see, but in who we are and how we see — upgrading not only our skills but also the way we make meaning.
When we experience the world as “too complex” we are not just experiencing the complexity of the world. We are experiencing a mismatch between the world’s complexity and our own at this moment. There are only two logical ways to mend this mismatch - reduce the world’s complexity or increase our own.

LeadershipMaturity.ai is the most accurate AI model developed so far1, based on largest training set (over 60,000 test responses) and some of the most sophisticated psychological modeling and natural language processing approaches in recent research.
Our chief scientific advisor is Dr Susanne Cook-Greuter, one of the leading theorists and practitioners in the field of adult development, and the originator of the integral Sentence Completion Test2 (Cook-Greuter, 1999). Our advisory board includes leading integral and adult development practitioners including Dr. Paddy Pampallis. More information.

Human physical growth might cease with adulthood, but our internal landscapes continue to evolve, in trajectories that can be segmented into stages. One way to uncover these stages of growth is the Sentence Completion Test (SCT), a projective psychometric test pioneered by Jane Loevinger. The SCT assesses the stage of development by analyzing responses to incomplete sentences, revealing the underlying structure of one's thinking, cognitive-emotional maturity, and meaning making.
Dr Susanne Cook-Greuter's Integral SCT (SCTi) refines Loevinger's work with a linguists perspective, extending our understanding of the highest developmental levels (which are particularly important for executive effectiveness3). The SCTi was developed at Harvard, validated in both academic and business contexts, and is one of the most cutting-edge assessment tools in this field. Human inter-rater agreements on SCT[i] range from 72% to 85%.
Just like human experts, our models are capable of estimating an individual's stage of development based on free-text sentence completions. They have been trained to accurately rate SCTi stages of development, with accuracies matching highly trained human experts. They are also capable of estimating hundreds of Maturity IndicatorsTM such as perspective diversity, group conformity, and many other aspects of cognition, emotion and character.
Unlike other services, our models can provide personalized growth recommendations based on these components and thousands of simulated scenarios. The fusion of cutting-edge AI and cognitive modelling makes it possible to simulate an extremely large number of alternative versions or "digital twins" of the test-taker and distil the most effective growth levers tailored to them. This approach allows our customers to find the highest-leverage ways to evolve their meaning-making, analogous to precision medicine, where digital twins can help patients find the best path towards greater health without having to try hundreds of interventions.
