Contends that a typology of skills based on a framework of learning
styles and experiential learning theory, rather than a framework of job
performance or some other personality construct, provides a language and
guidance for assessment methods to describe knowledge at the performance
level of adaptation. It requires development of the concept of learning
skills which are: domainspecific and knowledge‐rich; descriptive of an
integrated transaction between the person and the environment; and
developed by practice. Reviews and reports data from numerous studies to
establish the ESP′s reliability, relational validity, criterion validity
and construct validity. The ESP can be used as a vehicle for providing
personal and organizational feedback on skills, and expectations and
intent regarding skills in jobs and development programmes.
