WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Identification of Students' Communication Tendencies Test

Student Communication Aptitude Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

communicativeness

Communication skills develop over time, and understanding how a student interacts with others can inform educational and psychosocial supports. The Student Communication Aptitude Assessment is a brief self-report questionnaire designed to screen perceived communication tendencies in school-aged populations.

Developed by Dell H. Hymes, it includes 20 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Items generally probe everyday communication behaviors (e.g., expressing ideas, listening, and engaging with peers) to provide a concise profile of relative strengths and potential areas for support.

Results from the Student Communication Aptitude Assessment are intended to support preliminary identification of students who may benefit from targeted instruction, skills training, or further evaluation, and should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and educational information.
