WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Social Intelligence Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

social intelligence

This brief self-report measure is designed to support rapid screening of interpersonal functioning and related social-cognitive skills. The Social Intelligence Scale provides a structured snapshot of how an individual perceives and manages common social situations. It is commonly used as an adjunct to clinical interviewing and other assessment data.

The Social Intelligence Scale (J. P. Guilford) consists of 30 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Results are generally interpreted in terms of relative strengths and areas of difficulty in social understanding and interaction, and should be considered within the client’s developmental, cultural, and contextual background.
