The authors describe the development and validation of the Cognitive Style Indicator (CoSI) using 3 diverse samples (N = 5,924; N = 1,580; and N = 635). Reliability, item, and factor analyses demonstrated the internal consistency and homogeneity of 3 cognitive styles: knowing, planning, and creating. The authors also found substantial support for the instrument's convergent and discriminant validity by including other cognitive style instruments and personality and academic performance measures in the validation process. Criterion-related validity was confirmed by examination of the relation between these cognitive styles and work-related characteristics. The main contributions of this study are (a) the further refinement of the analytic-intuitive cognitive style dimension by splitting the analytic pole in a knowing and a planning style and (b) the development of a valid and reliable cognitive style instrument for use in organizations.
作者描述了认知风格指标（CoSI）的开发与验证过程，使用了3个不同样本（N = 5924；N = 1580；N = 635）。信度、项目和因素分析表明了3种认知风格（知晓、规划和创造）的内部一致性和同质性。作者还通过在验证过程中纳入其他认知风格工具以及人格和学业成绩测量，为该工具的聚合效度和区分效度提供了大量支持。通过考察这些认知风格与工作相关特征之间的关系，证实了与标准相关的效度。本研究的主要贡献在于：（a）通过将分析性一端细分为知晓风格和规划风格，进一步完善了分析 - 直觉认知风格维度；（b）开发了一种有效且可靠的认知风格工具，供组织使用。
