Enquire Within develops, charts and clarifies your thoughts and perceptions. It challenges your knowledge, feelings, and judgements in any area of your experience or that of your clients. It can be used for personal explorations or as a tool to help others explore and reveal their experience. There are as many potential uses for Enquire Within as there are purposes for which people would want to develop their cognitive maps - to grow them, challenge them, share them, experiment with them, reflect on them.
Our Review: Enquire Within is software intended for use in the gathering of information relating to the human mind. It can be used by managers, educators, researchers, psychotherapists or even yourself, for deriving cognitive maps. The software uses the interviewing technique known as 'Repertory Grid' which works by asking questions to fill the gaps of this mind map - a map of the individual's perceptions and judgments. There are several preloaded sessions available but they can be modified. After all the questions are answered, an analysis can be performed and reports printed out. Particularly useful as a tool for human resources to identify previously unrealsied areas of expertise.
The software itself is not very user-friendly and needs a bit of time to get used to. However, excellent documentation is included and the web site is more than sufficient to familiarise you with the process.
