Popis: Straipsnyje aprašoma M.J. Kirton adaptyvumo novatoriškumo vertinimo metodika, kuri, kaip teigia jos kūrėjas, gali būti naudinga psichologams, vadybininkams, edukologams ir kitiems socialinių mokslų specialistams, susiduriantiems su komandinio darbo, konfliktų sprendimo, pokyčių valdymo problemomis.
