The Koan Of Illness

The Stages International Assessment.

A STAGES Assessment helps you to determine your stage of perspective development and nurture it over time. Your Assessment relies on an understanding of human development through the latest researched levels, explains what those levels mean and look like, and describes how to actualize them in your own life.

 Lynn Fuentes is a Practictioner Partner, a certified scorer and a certified debriefer.

How is STAGES different from other developmental models?

While the developmental research on which it is based grew out of the Loevinger/Cook-Greuter developmental lineage, the theory and scoring method are completely new. Based on essential patterns of development, STAGES articulates both the wave-like patterns, as well as vertical stage aspects of development. STAGES statistical research supports three new, later stages of development.  It is an integrally based model, incorporating quadrants, levels and zones, assessing both context and whole person.

The test

All Stages Assessments are done using a survey method called a Sentence Completion Test (SCT), a well-established methodology that is widely used in psychological research. The person taking the Assessment is given a list of sentence stems and is asked to complete each sentence.

When you order a test, you will receive a link to take it. It usually takes about an hour. After your assessment is complete, it will be scored by a certified STAGES Scorer within three weeks.
