We use the following thinking, analysis, and solution guides to help train our own staff and to include their contents in our Red Team validity and accuracy-checking processes.

Click here for the essential introduction that explains what's in each of the three rational thinking and metacognition guides below. This introduction identifies which of the 80 tools and techniques from each of the three guides are best suited to particular applications in analysis, problem-solving, and learning improvement.

1. Click here for our new Basic Guide to Rationality, Thinking, Analysis, and Decision-Making.  (This can be viewed now, but we are still doing final tweaks and proofing a pre- and post-self-scoring test.) We hope to have the final basic guide done by the end of July.

2. Click here for our new Intermediate Guide to higher-level thinking, analysis, and problem solving, which includes system theory. We hope to have the intermediate guide done by late August or early September.

3. Click here for our new guide on Metacognition and Advanced Thinking, Analysis, and Decision-making. We hope to have the advanced guide done by late September to early October.
