ABSTRACT

The Saville Consulting (SC) Wave Styles questionnaires have been developed by Saville Consulting, an entirely new business founded by Professor Peter Saville. The individual measures of the SC Wave suite and the organisational measures have been developed from one integrated model. Rather than taking a paper questionnaire and putting it on the internet, SC Wave Styles questionnaires are an innovative suite of self-report measures developed with the opportunities and challenges of the internet at the heart of their design. SC Wave Styles questionnaires are different in several respects from established psychometric questionnaires. It has been developed using a variety of development strategies, but at the core is a validation-centric strategy. The online SC Wave Styles questionnaires first present a group of six normative statements. A development goal of the SC Wave Styles questionnaires was to have alternate form and test-retest reliability estimates as high as possible. The SC Wave matched model of performance aids better interpretation and decision making.
