Dear Scott:

(Hello? Could someone *please* help us design an international test of systems skills?



I know it must be done to measure the basic skills of a systems thinker, and even can use this same test forlongitudinal studies to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular methodology of system dynamics study.

I suggest putting a very clear objective to achieve and then develop the test and define the way forward forscientific validation and meta-analysis, I can help you achieve this goal.

when all else has failed to solve the problems of a planet with more people on it than it can support at the desired standard of living, those who are left *might* be open to the idea that understanding systems is key to survival and start measuring educational outcomes to that end...or not.

In your second question, no doubt, there are few inventions of mankind as promising as the system dynamics,the ability to apply systems thinking could be key to the future survival of mankind.
