Structure of Intellect

What is SOI?

Structure of Intellect (SOI) is a comprehensive program for individuals who may be finding school, college, university, or work life challenging. An award-winning program, it involves the thorough assessment of each pupil's cognitive abilities, based on 5 key domains: Comprehension, Memory, Problem Solving, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. SOI assesses the 90 cognitive learning abilities necessary for success at school and beyond, with a comprehensive report then produced for each individual, and a bespoke program developed to bridge any gaps identified. The programme involves about 80 hours of work on activities, lasting from between 6 to 12 months.

Who can SOI help?

Quite simply, everyone! We all have skills that are exceptional, and we all have skills that cause us to struggle. For some, this impacts life every day, causing learning or work life to fail. Unfortunately, despite the best will in the world, life seldom accommodates for this, and we are seeing more and more people out of school, out of work, and/or with mental health difficulties. An SOI assessment can help an individual identify their strengths and areas for improvement, leading them back to a pathway for future success.

History of SOI

SOI is a global program that originated in Oregon, USA. It was officially founded by Dr Mary Meeker and her husband, Dr Robert Meeker in 1965. These award-winning scientists developed the research-based SOI program to bridge cognitive gaps in education. The Meekers have proven the theory that intellectual abilities can be identified and improved.

 

According to them, successful learning requires different abilities, which have become the 5 key domains of SOI: Comprehension, Memory, Problem Solving, Creativity and Critical Thinking. SOI is globally recognised as a powerful tool enabling individuals to succeed in education, work and beyond. It is above all an exciting, beneficial, and positive way of approaching intelligence, learning and education.
