The Kirton Adaptation-Innovation Inventory

Abstract

The Kirton Adaptation- Innovation Inventory (KAI) is designed to measure propensity to innovate versus propensity to adapt, a personality dimension claimed significant for understanding and building organizational effectiveness This article presents a series of validity checks for the KAI, reports two serendipitous findings, then tests Kirton's hypothesis that a team composed of extreme adapters or extreme innovators is less effective than a team balanced on this dimension
