1. A method of determining a best practice for performing a task, comprising:

  • defining a provisional-best-practice for performing the task based on collaboration among a plurality of designated team members;

    creating a test for determining individual-preferred-practice for performing the task, the test comprising at least one test question and an answer corresponding to each test question;

    administering the test to a plurality of test takers comprising individuals who perform the task but are not designated team members;

    determining for each of the plurality of test takers a test score representing the degree of consistency between individual-preferred-practice and the provisional-best-practice;

    identifying each test question for which the corresponding test answer disagrees with answers to that test question provided by a predetermined proportion of test takers whose test scores represent at least a selected degree of consistency between individual-preferred-practice and the provisional-best-practice; and

    deciding, responsive to the identifying step, whether the provisional-best-practice can be designated as the best practice.
