WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Psychological Observational Skills Assessment Test

observational skills

This measure is designed to assess perceived observational acuity in social and psychological contexts. The Psychological Observational Skills Assessment is intended to characterize a respondent’s self-rated confidence in noticing and interpreting relevant behavioral cues and interpersonal nuances.

It consists of 18 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. In clinical and applied settings, results may be used to inform discussion of self-awareness, attentional style, and perceived competence in reading social signals, and to guide goal setting for skills-focused interventions; interpretation should be integrated with other assessment data and clinical judgment.

The Psychological Observational Skills Assessment is attributed to A. T. Beck and D. A. Kolb.
