There are two forms, which is the self-report version and Form R, which is the rating version of the instrument. Form R questions are identical to Form S except that the items are written in the third person. Hand scoring answer sheets are two layers, with responses made on the top page being copied to the scoring form underneath. Scoring is merely the summation of responses to items and standard scores can be readily obtained from information presented in the manual. To use, examiners must purchase special computer scorable answer sheets.
Individual users can purchase the scoring software for personal use.
This computer program provides an 8-10 page report covering a wide range of functioning. Also available is a three-page report that can be given to the client. Another advantage of the scoring program is that it will allow the user to compare a self-report with an observer rating simultaneously. This can be very helpful in clinical work with couples. For use in a community counseling context for adults and adolescents.
