Description: Today's most urgent challenges in science, medicine, and engineering demand collaboration across disciplinary lines. While interprofessional teamwork is widely promoted, we still lack a valid, practical tool to assess an individual's capacity to integrate diverse perspectives—a key gap in research and applied settings.

This webinar introduces the Perspective Integration Capability (PIC) scale: a conceptually grounded, empirically validated instrument that measures an individual's willingness and ability to integrate knowledge with others in collaborative work. Developed through a three-phase, five-study research design, the PIC scale demonstrates reliability, a clear factor structure, and robust predictive validity. The research includes item development, construct validation, and testing with interdisciplinary medical research teams to link PIC scores to real-world outcomes.

The PIC scale offers a reliable way to assess individual integration capacity, enabling new insights and opportunities for improving team dynamics and convergent science collaborations.
