The Repertory Grid Interview
Welcome to the Enquire Within® web site. This site contains a great deal of reference material relating to the repertory grid interview, its underlying theory and the practical application of grid. Enquire Within is a general and business software application for deriving cognitive maps and is founded on the Repertory Grid interview
Enquire Within® develops, charts and clarifies your thoughts and perceptions. It challenges your knowledge, feelings, and judgments in any area of your experience or that of your clients. It can be used for personal explorations or as a tool to help others explore and reveal their experience. There are as many potential uses for Enquire Within as there are purposes for which people would want to develop their cognitive maps - to grow them, challenge them, share them, experiment with them, reflect on them.

Please Note
This web site and Enquire Within are being developed as a personal project by me, John Mayes. Enquire Within Developments Ltd is a company that provides a structure for this project but it does not make a profit. Advertising on this site provides a small income stream which supports the web site and other expenses. Sales of the Enquire Within software also support the site and other expenses but do not anything like cover the cost of development over the years. I plan to continue this project indefinitely but would welcome discussion with others on ongoing development possibilities.
