Abstract

This article describes the development and validation of a questionnaire designed to measure the Design Thinking Mindset self-awareness. A comprehensive review of the relevant literature revealed 19 constructs. An exploratory factor analysis of the responses of two samples (N = 307) of Design Thinking professionals with some level of experience resulted in a 71-item instrument to assess DT Thinking Mindset based on 22 constructs. A measure of DT Mindset is relevant for research and practice, i.e. measuring the impact of different variables and designing more balanced and complete design teams.

Keywords: design thinking, mindset, research methodologies and methods, design learning
