The CAS assesses nine areas of adjustment difficulties: Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal
Ideation, Substance Abuse, Self-esteem Problems, Interpersonal Problems, Family Problems,
Academic Problems, and Career Problems. Students rate the 108 CAS items on a 4-point scale
ranging from false, not at all true to very true. Responses are entered on a carbonless, self-
scoring Answer Sheet. Scores are then easily transferred to the profile area. Scoring and
profiling takes only 3-5 minutes.

STUDENT ADAPTATION TO COLLEGE QUESTIONNAIRE (SACQ)
Robert W. baker, Ph.D. and Bohdan Siryk, M.A.
This quick instrument helps determine how well as student is handling the demands of
college. SACQ assesses overall adjustment to college, as well as adjustment in four specific
areas:
Academic Adjustment
Personal-Emotional Adjustment
Social Adjustment
Attachment (to the institution)
If you are testing large groups of students, you may prefer computer scoring and
interpretation. You can use WPS TEST REPORT prepaid Mail-In Answer sheets to get
detailed interpretive reports. Norms are based on a sample of more than 1,300 male and
female college freshmen and stratified by semester of attendance (first and second semesters
in college). The SACQ Manual includes an extensive list of studies using the test.
The questionnaire helps overcome the reluctance of many students to seek help—90
percent of those wit low SACQ scores accept offers of a posttest interview. The questionnaire
gives you reason for follow-up, as well as specific topics for discussion and a clear path
toward effective intervention.
By detecting adjustment problems early, SACQ can help colleges retain students who
might otherwise drop out.

You know there’s more life than academic excellence, but do your students? For some, exam
results are the be all and end all of achievement. For others, uncertainty about their future
goals leave them unable to manage their motivation. Either way, the chances are tomorrow’s
leader isn’t the genius in the front row. IQ may be a pre-requisite, but emotional intelligence
makes the difference in meeting the challenges of both academic and working life.
The Emotional and Social Competency Inventory- University Edition is a research-based, yet
simple and accessible tool. It takes students on a journey through 5 ‘discoveries’ to help them
think about their ‘ideal’ and ‘real’ self, and what EI means for them and their learning. It asks
individuals to self-assess their emotional and social intelligence competencies. They can go
on to gather feedback from others, to compare against self-assessment. Development tips are
provided alongside detailed descriptions of each EI competency.
With increasingly diverse student populations, we cannot take it for granted that students are
prepared or equipped for the independent learning required of them at university or college.
Using the ESCI-U will offer your students a deeper language and level of awareness around
their abilities:
management students will be able to focus on their leadership and coaching abilities
early on
Hr students will get a taste of the tools and concepts they’ll be working with in the real
world.
MBA students will gain insights into the complexities of group behavior
Students across all subject areas will understand their part in planning and managing
their personal development.
All of these benefits impact the issues that are high on the agenda in education including:
retention, progression, achievement, widening participation, personal development planning,
employability, diversity and inclusion.
Purpose: Measure beliefs and thinking patterns that underlie emotional intelligence, coping
ability, physical and emotional well-being in ages 18-80 years

The CTI is a 108-item self-report inventory that assesses constructive and destructive beliefs
and thinking patterns. The CTI is based on Dr. Epstein's Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory.
According to this theory, people have two fundamental adaptive systems: an "experiential
system" that automatically learns from lived experience, and a "rational/intellectual system"
that operates by conscious reasoning. The CTI measures the efficacy of the experiential
system; intelligence tests measure the efficacy of the rational/intellectual system. Note that the
CTI cannot be hand-scored. The individual's responses are entered into the software, and the
program scores the protocol and automatically generates a score report with raw scores and
gender-based T scores with a profile of the results.
The CTI predicts a variety of desirable abilities/states, that are either unrelated or only very
weakly related to intellectual intelligence, including work performance, social skills, and
emotional and physical well-being. It has also been found that CTI scores significantly
supplement intellectual intelligence in the prediction of academic performance as measured by
grade point average.
CTI Scales
The CTI scales provide information about beliefs and thinking processes at three levels of
generality. A global scale (Global Constructive Thinking), composed of items from several
other scales, is the most general score. At the next level are six main scales (Emotional
Coping, Behavioral Coping, Personal Superstitious Thinking, Categorical Thinking, Esoteric
Thinking, and Naive Optimism) that measure basic ways in which people think
(constructively or destructively). Almost all main scales have subscales, which identify the
specific thoughts and ways of thinking that make up the main scales. This information is
useful for elucidating the scores on the main scales, for providing refined diagnoses, and, most
important, for counseling and psychotherapy geared toward correcting maladaptive beliefs and
ways of thinking. The CTI also includes Validity and Defensiveness scales. Scores are
provided for the Global Constructive Thinking Scale, 6 scales, and 15 subscales.
The CTI Has Many Uses
The CTI is widely applicable. In clinical and counseling settings, it can be used to obtain
diagnostic information about beliefs and ways of thinking that can be directly applied in
psychotherapy and counseling. In this respect, the CTI has been particularly useful in
treatment centers for drug abuse that emphasize the development of coping skills. In business
settings, the CTI can be used for personnel selection and for training and counseling at all
administrative levels. In educational settings, it can assist in the selection of students for
college admissions and in the counseling of high school and college students.

Personal values play an important part in occupational selection and job satisfaction. The
Career Orientation Placement and Evaluation Survey (COPES) provides a measure of values
to supplement programs in educational and industrial career counseling. COPES scores are
keyed to the 14 COPSystem Career Clusters and examinees will discover which occupational
areas match their personal values.
COPES SCALES
(A) Investigative vs. (I) Accepting:
Satisfying intellectual curiosity and solving
Complex problems are activities valued by those individuals at the Investigative end of
this scale. Such people exhibit a strong desire for knowledge and mastery of
information. In the workplace, they enjoy solving complicated problems and working
with complex ideas. By contrast, people whose scores fall at the Accepting end of the
scale value clear-cut activities that do not involve too much complexity. These people
prefer to follow proven workplace procedures rather than have the responsibility for
developing new methods.

The Occupational Aptitude Survey and Interest Schedule—Third edition (OASIS-3) consists
of two related tests: the OASIS-3 Aptitude Survey and the OASIS-3 Interest Schedule. The
tests were normed on the same national sample of 2005 individuals from 20 states. Teachers,
counselors, and other professionals can easily use the OASIS-3 to assist in the career
development of students in Grades 8 through 12 and adults. The OASIS-3 can be
administered individually or in groups. Each test takes from 30 to 45 minutes to administer
and can be hand scored or machine scored.
The OASIS-3 Interest Schedule measures 12 interest factors directly related to the occupations
listed in the Guide of Occupational exploration. The factors are Artistic, Scientific, Nature,
Protective, Mechanical, Industrial, Business Detail, Selling, Accommodating, Humanitarian,
Leading-Influencing, and Physical Performing. The Interest Schedule contains 240 items
scored as Like, Neutral, or Dislike. Alpha reliabilities range from .83 to .96. Construct validity
was determined through principal components analysis and empirical research.
1. Artistic (ART). This scale measures your interest in the expression of ideas and
feelings. This interest may be satisfied by a variety of activities including writing or
editing; performing in music; drama or dance; painting or sculpture; or modeling
clothes.
2. Scientific (SCI). A high score in this area indicates an interest in the doing scientific
research developing theories and scientific applications. This interest may be satisfied
by working with scientific equipment in a laboratory; by exploring new medical
treatments to improve the health of humans and animals; by developing new
knowledge in mathematics or physics; or by discovering new facts about the earth and
universe.
3. Nature (NAT). This scales measures your interest in working with plants and animals
in an outdoor setting. You may satisfy this interest by working in farming, forestry, and
fishing. You may enjoy physical work outdoors or may enjoy managing a farm or
related businesses and services.
4. Protective (PRO). High score in this area suggest an interest in using legal authority
to protect both people and property. People with high scores may enjoy work in law
enforcement or fire fighting, or in leadership and management positions in protective
service organizations.
5. Mechanical (MEC). A high score on this scale indicates an interest in applying
mechanical principles to practical situations involving the use of tools and machines.
Jobs that satisfy this interest include engineering and related technical scientific work,
operating land or water vehicles, flying airplanes, or building and repairing things on a
large or small scale.
6. Industrial (IND). This scale measures your interest in repetitive, regular work
activities in a factory setting. Jobs that satisfy this interest include inspecting, sorting,
and weighing manufactured goods. Machine set-up and operation or supervision of
other workers might also be enjoyed.
7. Business Detail (BUS). A high score in this area suggests that you may enjoy office
work. This interest may be satisfied by work as an office manager, bookkeeper,
receptionist, or secretary, or by a variety of related jobs.
8. Selling (SEL). High scores on this scale indicate an interest in providing information
about a product and persuading others of its value and desirability. Jobs that satisfy this
interest involve selling products or services in stores, offices, or customer’s homes.
9. Accommodating (ACC). This scale measures your interest in providing services for
the convenience and comfort of others. Hospitality services in airplanes, restaurants,
and hotels, or hair and beauty care are examples of work that may satisfy this interest.
12.Physical Performing (PHY). High scores in this area show an interest in performing
in physical activities before an audience. A job in professional sports as player or
official, or performing physical feats such as acrobatics, may satisfy this interest.

Assess career interests with this brief personality inventory. Clinicians and career counselors
find the VPI to be useful in one-on-one counseling sessions with high-school and college
students, as well as with adults. Although the VPI is similar to the Self-Directed Search®
(SDS®), it is a psychological inventory, whereas the SDS is similar to a vocational counseling
experience. The clinician scores the VPI, and the user scores the SDS. The VPI assesses five
dimensions not covered by the SDS, but offers less comprehensive career assessment than the
SDS.
Description
The VPI consists of 160 occupations representing the six personality types in the RIASEC
theory of personality as well as five additional dimensions. The theory states that people
search for work environments similar to their personalities. VPI users decide if they like or
dislike each of the occupations.
The VPI parallels other Holland instruments that match user interests to occupations.
The Manual provides the most current research.
Administration/Scoring Options
The VPI user completes the inventory in just 15-30 minutes by simply recording occupational
preferences in the all-in-one Test Booklet/Answer Sheet. For easy administration and scoring
of the VPI, this booklet contains inventory items, a self-scoring carbonless Answer Sheet, and
the male and female Profile Forms. In approximately 1 minute, you can hand score all 11 VPI
scales: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional, Self-Control,
Status, Masculinity/Femininity, Infrequency, and Acquiescence.
You can use raw scores from the six RIASEC scales with the SDS Form R Occupations
Finder, The Leisure Activities Finder, and the Dictionary of Holland Occupational Codes to
help clients explore career options and aid in career guidance.
Reliability/Validity
Reliability and validity of the VPI are supported by a large body of research. Comprehensive
data support the construct validity of the VPI scales, which have an average internal
consistency of .88. The VPI has been normed on a variety of populations.

Appropriate for both children and adults, Raven's Progressive Matrices measure two
complementary components of general intelligence: the capacity to think clearly and make
sense of complex data (eductive ability); and the capacity to store and reproduce information
(reproductive ability).
The test offers three progressively more difficult forms intended for different populations.
Items on all forms ask the examinee to identify the missing component in a series of figural
patterns. Grouped in sets, the items require increasingly greater skill in encoding and
analyzing information.

General Ability . The ability to learn and achieve in training or academic situations. People
who get high scores “catch on” quickly in new situations and are proficient in making
judgments and is grasping underlying principles and solving problems. This factor is measured
by the vocabulary subtest plus the computation subtest scores.
Verbal Aptitude. The ability to understand and use words effectively, to comprehend verbal
concepts and language, and to express ideas clearly in words. People who score highly
generally do well in school, particularly in subtests where verbal concepts are important. This
factor is measured by the vocabulary subtest.
Numerical Aptitude. The ability to do arithmetic and other numerical computations quickly
and accurately. People who score highly on Numerical may do well in such school subjects as
math and physics. This factor is measured by the computation subtest.
Perceptual Aptitude. The ability to compare and discriminate words, numbers, symbols, or
other graphic material top see if slight differences exist between them. People who score
highly in this area should do well in proofreading, copyediting, and nonverbal tasks that
require attention to detail and rapid visual discriminations. This factor is measured by the
word comparison subtest.
Manual Dexterity. The ability to coordinate eye and hand movements and perform manual
tasks rapidly and accurately. High scores indicate the ability to manipulate tools and objects
with speed and precision. This factor is measured by making marks subtest.

SHIPLEY-2
Walter C. Shipley, Ph.D.
Since its original publication in 1940, the Shipley Institute of Living Scale has been
widely used to assess cognitive functioning and impairment. Revised and restandardized, this
enduring test continues to offer a brief yet robust measure of both crystallized and fluid
intelligence--now with updated norms, an expanded age range that includes both children and
adults (ages 7-89 years), and a new, nonverbal Block Patterns scale. Because it is
straightforward and brief, the Shipley-2 is ideal when you need to obtain quick ability
estimates, screen for cognitive dysfunction, or qualify participants for research studies. It also
functions well as a component of more complex assessments in neuropsychological, clinical,
and forensic settings.
Like the original test, the Shipley-2 measures two aspects of cognition: crystallized
knowledge, which is gained through education and experience; and fluid reasoning, or the
capacity to use logic to learn and acquire new information or solve problems. Research shows
that crystallized ability is relatively stable, whereas fluid reasoning is affected by aging, injury,
and psychopathology. Because it assesses both types of ability, the Shipley-2 can be used not
only to obtain a quick estimate of overall intelligence but also to reveal cognitive impairment.
By uncovering discrepancies between the two, the Shipley-2 can provide evidence of
cognitive deterioration.
To measure crystallized ability, the Shipley-2 includes a 40-item Vocabulary scale. Each
item requires the respondent to look at a target word and then choose, from four options, the
word that is closest in meaning. To assess fluid ability, the test offers two options: the
Abstraction scale, which presents 25 sequence-completion items similar to those in the
original Shipley; and the new Block Patterns scale, composed of 12 multiple-choice items
based on the well-known Kohs cube designs. Whereas the Abstraction scale has the advantage
of being familiar to Shipley users, the Block Patterns scale is a good alternative when you
need a nonverbal measure of fluid ability--or when you prefer the simplicity of a multiple-
choice response format. The Manual offers guidance in selecting the appropriate
scale.
This revision retains the original Shipley's simplicity while expanding its utility in
varied applications. It is ideal for intake screening, assessing brain injuries, determining
eligibility for disability benefits, measuring the effects of toxic exposure, guiding treatment
and rehabilitation, informing educational or job placement decisions, identifying cognitive
problems, monitoring cognitive decline, and more.
Provides standard scores, percentiles, age equivalents, and confidence intervals as well as a
Composite score, which is reflective of overall cognitive ability; and the Impairment Index,
which represents the discrepancy between vocabulary and abstract thinking and is calculated
only for adults.

Unlike many other learning measures, the SMALSI does not assess learning styles,
preferences, or other process dimensions. Instead, it assesses the actual strategies students use
in learning and test taking--strategies shown through research to be related to academic
success. The SMALSI is a quick, cost-effective way to identify students who may have
ineffective or poorly developed learning strategies, low levels of academic motivation,
attention and concentration problems, difficulties with test taking, or test anxiety. It can be
used for the following purposes:
Based on more than 30 years of research, the SMALSI allows you to identify and directly

The Interpersonal Behavior Survey (IBS) identifies interaction styles that may lead to conflict
at home, on the job, or in school.
Used in individual and group therapy, assertiveness training, marriage and family counseling,
and career guidance, the IBS measures various dimensions of assertive and aggressive
behavior, identifying excesses and deficits in both.
Designed for adults and adolescents, the IBS is a self-report inventory composed of the
following scales:
The IBS can be administered to individuals or groups in just 45 minutes. For a quicker but
still comprehensive assessment, you can use the Short Form IBS AutoScore Form. With just
133 items the AutoScore Form can be completed in about 30 minutes and scored quickly and
easily. If you need no more than a brief screening device, you can administer only the first 38
items on the Short Form, which takes 10 minutes or less.
Written at a sixth-grade reading level, the inventory can be used with a broad range of people.
The Manual provides sex-specific norms for a general sample and separate norms for African
Americans, college students, and adolescents.
The IBS is commonly used in marriage and family counseling to identify interaction styles
that may lead to conflict. In individual or group therapy, it can be used to help people
distinguish assertive from aggressive behavior. The IBS serves as an excellent pre- and post-
treatment measure because the items, written in the present tense, are highly sensitive to
change occurring over the course of therapy.

self-report instrument for measuring normal and abnormal personality traits. It is composed of
seven factor scales and assesses 25 normal traits. (Normal scales) and 10 abnormal traits
(Personality Disorder scales). The Personality Disorder scales are based on DSM-IV Axis II
personality disorder criteria. A Variable Response Inconsistency (VRIN) scale identifies item
response inconsistencies and a Current Distress (CD) scale assesses the respondent’s mental
state during the 7 days preceding the test date.
For use with normal adults and individuals with a suspected or diagnosed
Psychiatric disorder.
Self-report format; 4th grade reading level.
Useful in a variety of settings: psychological/psychiatric settings (inpatient and outpatient),
neuropsychological assessment (e.g., assessing for Antisocial Personality Disorder).
Normative sample included 1,000 community-dwelling adults, ages 18-74 years.
Demonstrated internal consistency reliability and concurrent validity.
Can be completed in approximately 60-90 minutes.
The OMNI can be administered on-screen using a key disk, or the clinician can administer the
paper-and pencil test booklet and then enter the individual’s responses into the OMNI software
System. The software scores the inventory and generates an interpretive report that includes a
broad range of information about the individual’s normal personality characteristics and
deviations from normality using the language and typology of the DSM-IV Axis II
classification of personality disorders.

The SFPQ encompasses and extends the popular Big 5 factors of personality. Research
indicates that by dividing the Conscientiousness scale into Industriousness and
Methodicalness, the SFPQ achieves increased validity over traditional Big 5 measures.
Moreover, unlike other popular measures of the Big 5, the SFPQ items are minimally
correlated with social desirability. Information is available providing strong support for the
reliability and the convergent, discriminant, factorial, and criterion validity of this renowned
assessment. With an administration time of 20 minutes, the SFPQ is a quick and effective
measure of personality.
The SFPQ has a wide range of uses including the assessment of normal adult personality, use
in counseling and clinical settings, use in business and industrial settings, and research
requiring a broad coverage of personality dimensions.

with adolescents.
Items have been revised or edited to make them easier to read and more appropriate for
younger examinees.
Separate adolescent (12-20 years) and adult (21 years and older) norms are now
available.
New! The NEO Problems in Living Checklist offers additional information about NEO
Inventories results and aids clinicians in planning treatment and assessing progress.
Spotlighting particular problems individuals may be facing depending on their test
outcomes, it is excellent for providing information about client problems, setting goals,
and planning interventions.

The NEO-PI-3 is a revision of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R™), the
standard questionnaire of the FFM. It is a concise measure of the five major domains of
personality (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness) and
the six facets that define each domain. Taken together, the five domain scales and the 30 facet
scales facilitate a comprehensive and detailed assessment of general personality. Its age range
has been extended downward, making it appropriate for use with adolescents as young as 12
years. The NEO-PI-3 retains the reliability and validity of the NEO PI-R and features new
normative data. Thirty-eight items from the NEO PI-R have been revised or edited to lower
the reading level and make the instrument more appropriate for younger examinees or adults
with lower educational levels.
The two-part carbonless Hand-Scorable Answer Sheet, usable with either Form S (for self-
reports) or Form R (for observer reports), eliminates the need for separate scoring keys or
templates. The NEO-PI-3 also can be scored and/or administered electronically using the NEO
Software System™.

Assess the Attitudes and Behavior of Self-Actualizing Adults
The Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) measures the attitudes and values of normal to high
functioning adults in terms of the concept of “self-actualizing.” When used in counseling or
as a pre- and post-therapy measure, the POI provides a picture of an individual’s level of
positive mental health. In addition to therapeutic applications, the POI is useful in research, as
well as employee development and studies of consumer behavior.
