Accounting Orientation Test
The Accounting Orientation Test is a Filipino made test by Josefina Villaflor – Segui the Former Vice – Chairman, Board of Accountancy Professional Regulation Commission and Behavioral Dynamics, Inc. The test is composed of 50 Multiple Choice Questions and 30 True or False Questions.

Achievement Motivation Profile (AMP)
This convenient self – report inventory is an ideal way to evaluate under achieving or unmotivated students, ages 14 and up. It gives you a complete picture of the personal factors that affect an individual’s academic performance and provides specific recommendations for improvement.

The AMP is composed of 140 brief, self – descriptive statements which produce scores in four areas:

Motivation for Achievement
• Achievement
• Motivation
• Competitiveness
• Goal Orientation

Interpersonal Strengths
• Assertiveness
• Personal Diplomacy
• Extraversion
• Cooperativeness

Inner Resources
• Relaxed Style
• Happiness
• Patience
• Self - Confidence

Work Habits
• Planning and Organization
• Initiative
• Team Player

Also, three validity measures alert you to inconsistent, self – enhancing and self – criticizing response style. Appropriate for high school and college students, items are written at a fourth – grade-reading level. Students respond using a 5 – point Likert – type scale, which provides a more refined self-description than a true – false format. Most students report that the AMP produces a more accurate self – portrait that personality tests do.

Adjustment Scales for Children and Adolescents
The Adjustment Scales for Children and Adolescents (ASCA) is a standardized behavior-rating instrument normed on 1,400 individuals and completed by classroom teachers. It assesses behavior problems, subtypes of psychopathology, and specific styles of healthy adjustment for children and adolescents from ages 5 through 17 years. ASCA takes 15 – 20 minutes to complete and uses an easy one – step scoring system.

ASCA contains 97 problem and 26 positive behavior indicators, each presented in one of 29 specific situations involving authority, peers, smaller or weaker youths, recreation, learning or confrontation. Separate male and female versions of ASCA are provided. The behavior syndrome scales include: Attention – Deficit Hyperactive, Solitary Aggressive (provocative), Solitary Aggressive (impulsive), Oppositional Defiant, Diffident, Avoidant, Delinquent, Lethargic (hypoactive).

Adolescent Anger Rating Scale
This brief self – report scale assesses the intensity and frequency of anger expression in adolescents (from 11 to 19). Written at a fourth – grade reading level, AARS items focus on behaviors associated with DSM – IV diagnoses of Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Requiring just 5 to 10 minutes to complete, the AARS is useful in both clinical and school settings. Professionals who conduct anger management training find it an excellent measure of behavior change.

Adolescent Diagnostic Interview (ADI)
ADI is systematically assesses psychoactive substance use disorders in 12 to 18 years olds. This convenient structured interview also evaluates psychosocial stressors, school, interpersonal functioning and cognitive impairment. In addition, it screens for specific problems commonly associated with substance abuse. Chemical dependency practitioners, clinical psychologists and social workers find the ADI a useful intake and diagnostic tool.

When the ADI is scored, it yields the following information:
• Presence or Absence of a DSM – III or DSM – IV Diagnosis of Psychoactive Substance use disorder
• Level of Functioning
• Severity of Psychosocial Stressors
• A Rating of Memory and Orientation

Adolescent Personality Questionnaire
The APQ is a self – report personality inventory that was specifically developed and normed for adolescents. It is the culmination of research that began as a project to update the HSPQ to 5th edition standards. The first three sections elicit valuable information regarding the youth’s personal style (normal personality), problem – solving abilities, and preferred work activities. The optional “Life’s Difficulties” section provides an opportunity for the young person to indicate particular problems in areas known to be problematic to adolescents. (For Ages 11 – 22).

Aggression Questionnaire (AQ)
This new self – report inventory makes it possible and practical to routinely screen children and adults for aggressive tendencies. The A.Q measures an individual’s aggressive responses and his or her ability to channel those responses in a safe, constructive manner. Because it takes just 10 minutes to complete, the AQ can be administered quickly to large numbers of people. It consists of 34 items, scored on the following scales:

a. Physical Aggression
b. Verbal Aggression
c. Anger
d. Hostility
e. Indirect Aggression

Written at a third – grade reading level, AQ items describe various characteristics related to aggression. The respondent simply rates each item on a 5 - point scale ranging from “Not at all like me” to “Completely like me”. Because it is brief and easy to read, the scale can be used with virtually anyone, including respondents who have difficulty with more complex verbal measures. The test can be hand scored in minutes.

Assessment of Career Decision Making (ACDM)
The ACDM can be used to help high school and college students select appropriate and satisfying careers.

Research shows that the way an individual chooses a career is related to his or her eventual career satisfaction. And the ACDM tells you how students approach and resolve career decisions. This unique inventory is composed of 94 True – False items covering six scales:

Decision Making Styles:
- Rational
- Intuitive
- Dependent

Decision Making Tasks:
- School Adjustment
- Occupation
- Major

The first scales tell you whether, and to what extent, the student is willing to take responsibility for his or her career decisions. Those students who score high on the Dependent Scale, for example, tend to rely on others for career decision-making – and they often experience career dissatisfaction later on.

The remaining scales identify students who are prepared to make a realistic choice and those who need to resolve other problems first. They tell you, which students need help – and the kind of help they need.

ACDM Mail – In Answer Sheets are computer scored by WPS Test Report. For each student assessed, you’ll receive a complete interpretive printout, including a Counselor’s Report and a Student’s Report. If you submit a number of Answer Sheets together, your reports will also include a Group Summary.

Attention Disorders in Children
Noting that the school psychologist is in the best position to identify children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), this straightforward, easy – to – understand handbook gives school practitioners the information they need to diagnose and treat ADD.

After providing a general overview of attention disorders, the book focuses specifically on assessment and diagnosis of ADD in the school setting. It provides seven tools that school psychologists should use to assess ADD, explains differential diagnosis, presents useful screeners and rating scales, and shows how to report results to parents. Additional chapters focus on treatment, listing very specific strategies that can be implemented immediately to help the ADD student. Long – term methods, such as diet management, parent training, behavior management at school, counseling, medication and educational programming are also fully covered.

Two convenient forms are included in the Kit. One (Attention Disorders Assessment Tools) is used to gather information form parents, teachers and your own observations. The other (Attention Disorders Screening Summary) is used to record and summarize that information.

While this system is distinguished by its focus on the school psychologist’s role, any professional (or parent) dealing with ADD children will find it extremely useful. It is clear, direct and prescriptive.

Attention - Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
In just 5 to 10 minutes, this convenient new rating scale can be used to identify individuals, between 3 to 23 years of age, who have attention - deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Designed for use in schools and clinics, it is easily completed by teachers, parents, or others who know the referred individual. Based on DSM - IV criteria for attention - deficit hyperactivity disorder, the test is composed of 36 items and 3 subtests:

a. Hyperactivity
b. Impulsivity
c. Inattention

Carefully constructed and psychometrically sound, this test can be used with confidence to identify students who have ADHD, to evaluate children referred for behavior problems, and to determine appropriate intervention.

Attitudes toward Guns and Violence Questionnaire (
Now there’s quick and reliable way to find out whether and why specific individuals are attracted to guns and violence. The new AGVQ measures the attitudes of young people, ages 6 to 29 toward guns, physical aggression and interpersonal conflict. Composed of just 26 items and written at a third – grade reading level, this unique self – report inventory can be administered in just 5 to 10 minutes. AGVQ items focus on violence and related issues relevant to young people, with an emphasis on guns. The test form (titled “ What’s Your Opinion?”) asks individuals to choose one of the three response options to indicate extent of agreement with each item.

The test yields a Total Score, plus scores for the following subscales:

• Aggressive Response to Shame - Sensitivity to disrespect from others and a belief that violence repairs damage to self-esteem.
• Comfort With Aggression - Undisturbed acceptance of violence as part of everyday life.
• Excitement - the feeling that guns is intrinsically exciting, stimulating and fun.
• Power/Safety - the view that guns and violence are a means of preserving personal safety and experiencing feelings of power.

Used in mental health, juvenile justice and school settings the AGVQ allows you to accurately target intervention and prevention programs. By assessing attitudes, you can determine what kind of cognitive and behavioral training should be implemented. And following intervention, AGVQ serves as an excellent measure of program effectiveness. Using the scoring disk for program evaluation, you can obtain raw scores and T – Scores in a form that can be exported for statistical analysis. Quick and inexpensive, the AGVQ is an important addition to any program intended to reduce youth violence.

Basic Personality Inventory
The BPI is a multiphasic personality inventory intended for use with both clinical and normal populations to identify sources of maladjustment and personal strengths. The easy reading level (gr. 5) means the BPI may be used with a variety of adolescent and adult groups. Consisting of 240 true/false items, and 11 substantive clinical scales and one critical item scale, the BPI can be completed in approximately 35 mins. – about half the time required to complete other popular measures.

This self – report inventory is composed of True – False items focusing on activities, interests and behaviors. These items cover 12 clinical scales:

• Hypochondriasis
• Interpersonal Problems
• Anxiety
• Social Introversion
• Depression
• Alienation
• Thinking Disorder
• Self - Depreciation
• Denial
• Persecutory Ideas
• Impulse Expression
• Deviation

Behavioral Inattention Test
This useful test assesses one of the more troublesome consequences of stroke and head injury: unilateral visual neglect (UVN). Occurring in about 40% of right hemisphere stroke victims and in many cerebral tumor or head injury cases, UVN causes patients to behave as if one side of space has no meaning. Those with severe UVN often collide with objects, ignore food on one side of the plate, and groom only one side of their bodies. They also have difficulty reading, writing and drawing.

By measuring everyday skills relevant to UVN, the BIT gives you a precise description of the patient’s capabilities, which can be used to guide treatment. The test kit comes with complete parallel forms of the BIT, each composed of six conventional and nine behavioral subtests:

a. Line crossing
b. Letter cancellation
c. Star cancellation]
d. Figure and Shape copying
e. Line Bisection
f. Representational Drawing
g. Picture Scanning
h. Telephone dialing
i. Menu Reading
j. Article Reading
k. Telling and Setting Time
l. Coin Sorting
m. Address and Sentence Copying
n. Map Navigation
o. Card Sorting

The conventional subtests (first six) are used to diagnose the presence of UVN, while the behavioral tests are used to determine what kind of practical problems the individual will encounter and to design a rehabilitation program. An overall cut – off score is provided, along with the number and to design a rehabilitation program. An overall cut – off score is provided, along with the number and pattern of omissions for each subtest.

Short, practical and easy to administer and score, the BIT can help remove many of the obstacles that complicate the rehabilitation of UVN patients.

Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function
These new parent and teacher questionnaires assess children’s executive function in home and school environments. The BRIEF is useful in evaluating 5 – through 18 – year – olds with developmental and acquired neurological conditions such as learning disabilities, ADHD, and traumatic brain injury, low birth weight, Tourette’s Disorder, and autism.

Each BRIEF questionnaire includes 86 items on 8 non - overlapping clinical scales and 2 validity scales:

Clinical Scales Inhibit Initiate Organization of Materials Shift Working Memory Monitor Emotional Control Plan/Organize Validity Scales Negativity Inconsistency of Responses

These scales form two broader indexes: Behavioral Regulation and Metacognition.

Requiring just 10 to 15 minutes to complete, the BRIEF is an efficient way to evaluate impairment of executive function in children and adolescents with neurological conditions.

Bell Object Relations and Reality Testing Inventor
This exciting self – report inventory gives clinicians a quick, convenient and reliable way to evaluate adults with character disorders and psychoses. Administered in just 15 to 20 minutes, the BORRTI identifies clients with Borderline Personality Disorder and tells you which treatment methods are likely to be most effective.

The BORRTI is especially helpful when character pathology co – occurs with other problems, such as substance abuse or PTSD. It lets you know immediately whether the individual’s problems are complicated by characterological deficits that could drastically alter the course of treatments.

Composed of 90 items, the inventory measures object relations and reality testing on seven scales:

• Object Relations
- Alienation
- Insecure Attachment
- Egocentricity
- Social Incompetence

• Reality Testing
- Reality Distortion
- Uncertainty of Perception
- Hallucinations and Delusions

If you are interested only in the items measuring Object Relations, you can use form O, which includes those items.

You can administer BORRTI as part of an initial evaluation of the client. This gives you useful clinical information at the outset and it instantly engages the individual in the therapeutic process. Clients seem to like the test, viewing it as evidence that you understand and are interested in their problems.

Quicker, more reliable and easier to use that individually administered projective tests, the BORRTI simplifies what is often a difficult task – evaluating and treating clients with personality and thought disorders.

Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test
One of the most versatile and frequently administered clinical tests, the Bender can be used to evaluate perceptual maturity, possible neurological impairment and emotional adjustment. It consists of nine figures that are presented, one at a time, to the person being tested, who copy them on a blank piece of paper. The Bender provides a wealth of information in a brief time, and can be used with both children and adults.

Beta III
Beta III is a easy to administer and score. It is useful in screening large numbers of people for whom administering comprehensive test batteries would be time-consuming and costly. It is especially useful when assessing low-functioning or low-skilled individuals from 16-89 years of age. It can be administered by group or individually.

Brief Neuropsychological Cognitive Examination (BN
This convenient test assesses the cognitive functions targeted in a typical neuropsychological exam. In less than 30 minutes, it gives you a general cognitive profile that can be used for screening, diagnosis or follow – up. More efficient than neuropsychological battery and more thorough than a screener, BNCE is an ideal way to evaluate the cognitive status of patients with psychiatric disorders or psychiatric manifestations of neurological diseases.

Appropriate for individuals 18 years of age and older, the BNCE assesses working memory, gnosis, praxis, language, orientation, attention and executive functions. It is composed of 10 subtests, none requiring more than minimal reading skills. Five of these subtests measure the ability to process conventional, frequently used information, while the remaining five measure the ability to process novel or incomplete information. The test focuses on processing skills needed for everyday functioning, and is sensitive to mild impairment often missed by other brief cognitive screeners.

The BNCE is an excellent way to start a process – oriented neuropsychological exam – it quickly reveals specific cognitive abnormalities that may warrant more detailed evaluation. BNCE can be used to monitor the course of both psychiatric and neurological disease.

Carey Temperament Scale
The Carey Temperament Scales comprise a series of behavioral rating instruments for assessing temperamental characteristics in infants and children up to the age of 12 years. Temperament, or behavioral style, has been increasingly accepted as one division of the biological roots of personality in children.
