Abstract

Abstract A deeper understanding of designers’ core competencies and psychological traits supports both design education and more effective integration of design into industries seeking innovation. The Integral Psychological Profile, an instrumental breakthrough in psychometric testing, measured a group of young designers for core competence and trait ‘fit,’ or ‘compatibility,’ to various design curricula. Psychological ‘fit’ was significantly associated with better academic performance. Creativity, exploration, and proactivity emerged as gatekeepers to design proficiency with additional competency alignment reinforcing success. IPsP traits, found in high performers, closely matched previous attempts at defining designer attributes. A more comprehensive model of designer competence was developed. Findings also illumined some key psychological guidelines for advancing design in business.

“适合”变革：衡量设计师能力

摘要深入了解设计师的核心能力和心理特征，有助于设计教育和更有效地将设计融入寻求创新的行业。综合心理档案是心理测量测试的一项重要突破，它测量了一群年轻设计师的核心能力和特质“适合”或“兼容性”，以适应各种设计课程。心理“健康”与更好的学习成绩显著相关。创造力、探索性和主动性成为设计熟练度的守门人，并通过额外的能力调整来巩固成功。在高绩效员工身上发现的IPsP特征与之前定义设计师属性的尝试非常吻合。开发了一个更全面的设计师能力模型。研究结果还揭示了在商业中推进设计的一些关键心理准则。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
