TEST DIRECTIONS:
This booklet contains a list of statements that people use to describe themselves. They are
printed here to help you in describing your feelings and attitudes. Try to be as honest and
serious as you can in marking the statements.
Do not be concerned if a few statements seem unusual; they are included to describe people
with many types of problems. If you agree with a statement or decide that it describes you, fill
in the © on the separate answer sheet to mark it True ( • ® ). If you disagree with a statement
or decide that it does not describe you, fill in the ® to mark it False (@ • ). Try to mark every
statement, even if you are not sure of your choice. If you have·tried your best and still cannot
decide, mark the ® for False.
Use a No. 2 pencil and make a heavy, dark mark when filling in the circles. If you make a
mistake or change your mind, erase the mark fully and then fill in the correct circle. Do not
make any marks in this booklet.
There is no time limit for completing the inventory, but it is best to work as rapidly as is
comfortable for you.
