6. Allinson and Hayes’s Cognitive Style Index (CSI) a 38-item self-report questionnaire with three response options to every statement: ‘true’, ‘uncertain’ and ‘false’. With every statement, the respondent can score 2, 1 or 0. The maximum score is 76, the minimum 0. The higher the score, the more ‘analytical’ the respondent is, and the lower the score, the more ‘intuitive’ the respondent. (Allinson & Hayes, 2012) Analytical>quasi analytical>adaptive>quasi intuitive>intuitive
