The 100-item TSI is designed to evaluate posttraumatic stress and other psychological sequelae of traumatic events, including the effects of rape, spousal abuse, physical assault, combat, major accidents, natural disasters, and childhood abuse. |
| |
|
10 Clinical scales can be subsumed under three broad categories of distress (trauma, self, and dysphoria). |
|
12 Critical Items help you identify potential problems, such as suicidal ideation or behavior, substance abuse, psychosis, and self-mutilatory behavior that may require immediate follow-up. |
|
In contrast to other trauma measures, three validity scales (Response Level, Atypical Response, and Inconsistent Response) assess the respondent's tendency to deny symptoms that others commonly endorse, to over-endorse unusual or bizarre symptoms, and to respond to items in an inconsistent or random manner. |
|
Normative data are derived from a nationally representative sample of more than 800 adults from the general population and more than 3,500 Navy recruits. |
|
Profile forms for males and females provide a graph that portrays response scores relative to general population scores. |
|
High predictive validity: TSI scales predicted Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in over 90% of cases (independently assessed) and 89% of cases diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) were correctly identified (in the psychiatric inpatient sample). |
|
Hand-scorable carbonless Answer Sheet; simple to administer. |
|
Raw score to T-score conversion for all gender-by-age combinations. |

This assessment system provides vital information that can help you select top performers who will enjoy their work and remain on the job long enough to make a real impact. |

| |
| TSI-A Version |
| |
The alternate 86-item version (TSI-A) is identical to the TSI, except that it does not contain the Sexual Concerns scale and Dysfunctional Sexual Behavior scale, and 2 Critical Items with sexual content. All other TSI-A scales, including the three validity scales, and the remaining Critical Items are identical to the TSI. |
