Psychological Observational Skills Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
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.
