Abstract	In introducing the term ‘concept’, the authors of the 2008 International vocabulary of metrology ‘Basic and general concepts and associated terms’ (VIM, 2008) recognize that in order to operationalize a globally accepted set of metrology terms, one requires to deal with a higher level of abstraction. Concepts are obviously not specific to metrology–handling complex tasks in any domain of knowledge that requires conceptual thinking abilities. In this short white paper, we discuss how to assess and develop conceptual thinking of professionals in service, business, and industrial environments. The approach builds on a proven methodology called MERLO that has been developed in the last 15 years by experts in psychology and education with adaptation to new interactive technologies such as clickers and internet-based formative assessments. MERLO pedagogy can be used to assess individuals’ inherent conceptual thinking abilities and train them to enhance their competence in analyzing complex conceptual situations. This is pertinent to the education of metrology, quality, and statistical thinking. We suggest that MERLO can be considered as a complementary enabler to VIM, so that this fundamental work can enhance its impact and applicability.
