Communication and Speech Skills Assessment Scale Test

People seeking a clearer profile of how they speak and connect may use the Communication and Speech Skills Assessment Scale Test as a structured way to examine four result areas. Separate scores for confidence, communication, speech, and overall development help respondents judge whether their pattern is consistent or mixed. This communication skills assessment gives respondents a focused framework for interpreting that pattern.

What This Assessment Explores

These items examine speech communication skills in speaking situations rather than pronunciation drills. They address impressions, conversations with others, eye contact, dialogue, questions, introductions, voice control, and group speaking. Others cover nervousness, fear, embarrassment, and silence despite knowing an answer.

Results have four dimensions:

• Confidence (0-8) shows speech and communication assurance: Low confidence (0-2), Moderate confidence (3-5), or High confidence (6-8).
• Communication (0-7) measures contact, dialogue, and expression: Limited (0-2), Developing (3-5), or Strong (6-7).
• Speech (0-7) measures fluency, expressiveness, correctness, and difficulty: Low difficulty (0-2), Moderate difficulty (3-5), or High difficulty (6-7).
• Communication and Speech Skills Assessment (0-24) measures speech and communication development: Lower development (0-8), Moderate development (9-16), or Higher development (17-24).

The combined result is designated for diagnostic evaluation and subsequent planning of corrective or psychotherapeutic interventions; an online score alone does not establish a diagnosis.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Yes-or-no responses make this a self-report of communication, not a performance sample. Items cover ease, confidence, voice control, fear, nervousness, and withheld answers. The result separates themes and supplies a total, but it does not specify how responses contribute to each score.

The closest reference is the S-24 Scale, a 24-item refinement of Erickson's communication-attitude scale developed by Andrews and Cutler in 1974. Erickson developed an empirical measure of interpersonal communication attitudes; Andrews and Cutler examined the 24-item form alongside changes in stuttering symptoms and communication attitudes. This questionnaire is conceptually consistent with those measures but is neither the published S-24 instrument nor a validated adaptation.

Iimura and Ishida later studied a Japanese S-24 version, reporting norms, reliability, and construct-validity evidence for that population. Those findings describe the source instrument, not universal norms here. This online questionnaire has no published standardization for its version; its displayed bands are profile categories, not independently verified clinical cutoffs.

The communication profile highlights easy, effortful, or threatening situations. Current stress, self-awareness, and response bias can affect interpretation, so scores may vary with context.
