The article describes the Invenio diagnostic system, which was developed by researchers at Masaryk University in Brno. The Invenio system is designed as a screening tool. The results obtained by this method can help children, teachers, school psychologists or parents in individualizing their educational approach and in considering their future professional direction. The main purpose of the system is to identify gifted pupils.
