We conduct research on testing approaches that measure skills to start and maintain interpersonal relationships, such as communication skills and teamwork skills.

So far we have tried to develop interpersonal comprehension tests using videos, as well as to measure teamwork skills using computer graphics and shyness through the Implicit Association Test (IAT). A common point among these test methods is that we are taking approaches not to let the test-takers realize what ability is being measured. In other words, we are trying to break away from the traditional method that makes test-takers use a piece of paper and a pencil to answer questions on a scale.
In addition, we focus on the measurement contents and methods of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) conducted by the OECD. We try to measure teamwork skills as a part of this approach. In regards to teamwork skills, we not only measure these skills but also develop training programs that can enhance and develop them.
We will continue to deliver these achievements from CRET to you. Please look out for them.

We conduct basic research on the development of testing approaches that measure abilities to start and maintain human relationships, as well as communication skills, teamwork skills, and career formation skills. Our basic research also covers the creation of test problem databases and the measurement of these. Moreover, we aim to develop the measurement of social skills, taking into consideration the development stages and abilities of children. Moreover, based on the measurement results, we will continue to make proposals for training and educational programs that can further enhance and develop the ability of individuals.
