Strategic Thinking Questionnaire

The STQ was designed to provide an assessment of three cognitive skills

important to strategic thinking: systems thinking, reframing and reflection.

Interpreting these cognitive skills helps test takers understand their own mental

processing, and whether they think flexibly, conceptually and strategically.

These questions are cast on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “Almost never”

to Almost Always (5). The higher the number, the greater the use of the

cognitive skill. The instrument takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete

and can be scored manually or electronically. The STQ measures three cognitive

skills: Systems thinking, Reflection, and Reframing. Systems thinking. The

instrument was helpful to executives involved in leading organizations,

leadership development programs, and coaching and counseling (Pisapia &

Reyes-Guerra, 2007).

Systems thinking refers to leaders’ ability to see systems

holistically by understanding the properties, forces, patterns, and

interrelationships that shape the behaviors of the systems that provide options for

actions.

Reframing. Reframing is a conscious effort by leaders to switch attention

across multiple perspectives in order to generate new insights and options for

actions. The goal is to produce usable knowledge by rotating through appropriate

conceptual models for the activities and events observed.

Reflection. Reflection, in this study, refers to leaders’ ability to weave logical and

rational thinking together with experiential thinking through perceptions,

experience, and information to make judgments as to what has happened and

then create intuitive 53 principles that guide future actions. In reflection, one uses

perceptions, experience, and information to make judgments as to what has

happened in the past and is happening in the present to help guide their future

actions.
