The IE Standard is a series of structured paper-and-pencil exercises that gradually increase in levels of difficulty and abstraction. The materials are organized into workbooks called “instruments.” Each instrument focuses on a specific cognitive area such as analytic perception, comparison, classification or orientation in space and time. They may include verbal, mathematical, logical and even emotional skills, depending upon the needs of the learner. Learners are guided through the tasks by a mediator who helps them develop generalizable strategies for problem solving and analytic thinking the rest of their lives.

The IE Standard can be used in a classroom or workplace setting, either with small groups of targeted learners or as a one-to-one therapeutic intervention. The IE Standard consists of 14 instruments.
