Questionnaire: Inquiry Mindset Scale (IMS)

Cristian A. Nica

Questionnaire: Inquiry Mindset Scale (IMS) available now at cristiannica.co.uk

A higher level of performance is always possible when considering new opportunities for development. Inquiry is a mental process that can improve understanding and support change for innovative products, creative projects, or impact-driven actions.

Collaborative inquiry is an action research methodology that can be applied across contexts, from medical practice and organizational change to education, social justice, and community development. At the same time, the inquiry mindset has recently been valued through design thinking procedures and can therefore be considered a core factor for promoting new perspectives in the ideation cycle.

I created the Inquiry Mindset Scale to emphasize the beliefs associated with specific mental skills. This instrument includes 24 items rated on a five-point scale, organized into six subscales (propositional, practical, experiential, presentational, systemic, and cooperation).

Results provide a global score together with a specific indicator for each subscale, meant to assess both mental traits and perceived abilities. This way, individuals and teams can better address their needs prior to, or during, the inquiry process.


Assess the mental traits and perceived abilities relevant for the inquiry process.
