WPDI is a tool for different levels of usage:

Applications

Individual Level

Student's Self-understanding
Students can easily log-in to the eWPDI online system and take a test to generate an eProfile instantaneously. The eProfile lists out students' scores in the 15 factors with interpretation.

Programme Planning and Evaluation
Data collected through eWPDI will be returned to your university, so you may conduct further analysis, e.g. comparing WPDI data collected at entry and exit points of a programme to shed light on programme effectiveness and future direction.
