Human-Equity’s management assessment system incorporates the Lectical cognitive development
assessment tool, developed at Stanford University with over 10,000 case interviews, and drawing on over
40 years of research into applied cognitive development of adults. Lectical is based on a “dynamic
skill” scale, scoring the hierarchical complexity of an individual’s performance. The most popular
metrics used in business today (e.g. psychometric and personality tests) have provided managers a way
of supporting their interview assessments. However, the validity of such tests are rarely studied by the
users themselves. Human-Equity works with highly established designers of assessment metrics, that have
extensive validity controls and are adaptable to specific business contexts. Using such tools becomes more
essential, the more complex the role.
